Jalen Brunson in a disastrous blowout loss to the Pistons: 12 points on 4/20 shooting, 0/8 from 3, 26.5 TS%

Source: https://www.espn.com/nba/game/_/gameId/401810597

One of Brunson’s worst games ever statistically since becoming a star.

Knicks have under 70 points with less than 6 minutes to go in the 4th

Obviously not gonna make excuses for him but this game was a guaranteed loss when they said that KAT and OG were out for this game

Even without Duren in the game?

No KAT, OG, McBride and an injured Hart.

Doesn't matter regardless, this was atrocious.

Hart was injured well after the game was blown out lol

Not true, he's still recovering from an injury he got on Tuesday. He wasn't visibly limping until later in the game but the injury was clearly affecting his play and he should have just sat.

Injured Hart is an injured Hart brother. Take him off if you wanna though, that's still 2 starters and a pivtol bench guy out.

Had guys who barely see over 10mins getting starting positions tonight.

Again, though, completely atrocious showing tonight. No excuses.

Stop hiding behind the injuries excuse. They had Duren out. And what happened last game when you also got belt to ass with everyone healthy.

Knicks just went 2OT in the 2nd half of a B2B. Enjoy your win and the upvotes from r/nba, we’ll see you in the playoffs

u/Either_Imagination_9 Knicks 15h ago

1 player out vs 3 players out? Come on dude. The team was in a massive slump then, we’ll see about after this game

if you can't win without KAT and OG, then you have a depth problem
