Brunson … not sure he should go back in

If he didn’t have that second half against NOP he’s been alarmingly bad

Bumping his head on a talent ceiling is my guess

Brunson continues to force things. Glad he is sitting.

Can’t continue to have both Brunson and Towns sitting down the stretch. The game is in the balance. I understand KAT has 5 fouls but bring Jalen back in NOW. Can’t waste empty possessions.

A podcaster said OG should be on him but Thibs..



Every team that has even a sliver of success against him right now is guarding him with their wings. The two players with the most minutes matched up against him this season are Brooks and Jerami Grant. He's not comfortable dribbling against smaller wings/guards, and he's not strong enough to post them up, so it works for now.

I know every player talks about how prepared Thibs is going into games, and I believe it, but he never adjusts to how the game is being played

I want this damn win. Thibs will never do it but feel we're better with both towns and brunson sitting. Defense is far better and the ball moves without brunson slow walking it up and pounding the ball for 20 seconds.

He’s got something going on in his personal life. Screaming kid keeping him up all night or something

He’s been like a total negative

Too late in the game to change that prolly

Let MB try to win it … it’s just one game

Not passing enough. When he went through this kind of stretch earlier this season, he started facilitating the offense and SHREDDED defenses. He is playing Randle ball.

Give Brunson time on the bench. If Mikal can give the Knicks the lead with <3 minutes left, bring Brunson back for the dagger.
