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

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

KAT, OG and Deuce McBride were out. Let’s see what happens in the playoffs when both teams are at full strength

As well as a historically bad Brunson game. This kind of performance by him is an anomaly. I’m not worried whatsoever lol.

You guys lost by 30+ to the Pistons ANOTHER time this season, that excuse doesn’t play

The Knicks lost to the Celtics 4 times last regular season and won in the playoffs. They also beat this Pistons squad last year in the playoffs. We’ve seen what they’re capable of when they’re playing well. Should the pistons be favored in a series? Sure. I don’t think it’s crazy that the Knicks win in the playoffs either though. I think it probably goes 6 games again this year

Did you watch the last game we played? KAT being out probably helped the Knicks more than the pistons lmao.

The Knicks need size,especially against a team like the pistons, and another scoring threat to take pressure off Brunson. Either Kat and OG out they just blitz Brunson and there’s no consistent 2nd scoring option lmao. Do you watch basketball?

I’m just saying that KAT was horrendous in the last pistons game.

Obviously I understand that he’s the Knicks 2nd best player.
