I feel like Brunson is a better defender than people give him credit for. He's never going to be all defenseive team or anything but he hustles, has good technique defensively, puts in the effort and he was near the top of the league in drawing charges. I feel like the only part of his defensive game that's lacking is his physical limitations, which is valid, but he's not a mediocre defender by any means.

He is a great defender but u dnt want ur 1A getting spent on D, we can go Pippen Jordan, Klay Curry, Luka anyone else, etc. there’s no reason for JB to guard a teams 1A. PFs, Cs diff story. Ur C is guardin Embiid PF guarding Giannis it’s diff when it’s 1-3, u get to 7fters as 1A…

@@ericgolden2070 ...oh I completely agree. I just feel like so many assessments view Brunson's defense as if it were a liability and I just wanted to point out that while he can be vulnerable to mismatches I think his defense is overall an asset, not a liability.

“Mortgaged their future” is BS. Even if they didn’t trade for Bridges l, they’d still be picking out of lottery. Likely 20+. And let’s not pretend they have this ridiculously successful draft history. Mitchell is ONLY guy on team now that will be projected to play meaningful minutes that they drafted. Picks they gave up weren’t going to high picks. And they still have picks in those same years.

That 2031 pick is the only real one that Knicks fans should be concerned about but if they win a title or even make the finals a couple of times then no one will care what these picks turn into.

I understand that he misspoke and they didn't actually make the ECF but for all intents and purposes of measuring the team's high water mark going forward I feel like you can consider taking a team to 7 games in the ECSF with most of your lineup out w/ injuries as being on par with making the ECF.

The Knicks need a secondary ball handler and they will definitely win a title. It is still the best Knick team within the past 30 years though. Randle, Bridges, and Divo are third tier ball handlers. They are not bad but not amazing either.

Definitely not a "stretch!" It's possible because of the very reasons you articulated after claiming it was a stretch. With most of their starters gone for 2 months.. they still won 50 gms. It's like the movie 300. If just a few of them could do that and get within 1 gm of the conference finals.. imagine what a healthy roster with capable additions do?! 60 plus wins isn't a stretch and neither is a chip. Plus see their wins against western conference teams last season with 3/5ths of their starters out. A stretch? Vegas doesn't think so!

@@arrellehnisrael8229they were hands down contender if healthy 23-24. Randle is clearly the 1B for Knicks n he fits well, he is multi-faceted, shot improving, driving no ?, post game, etc. The big diff is he can create offense on his own while also not crowding the paint to allow JB hit midrange. Until shown otherwise, he is a great 2nd option and u can’t double anyone bc Bridges from 3 (goes from 1A to 3rd), JB, imagine OG and paint as the 4th
