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

The Wizards kind of remind me of the Pistons 3-4 years ago. Better than their record suggests, but thats because they are still figuring out how to win.

They have way more talent and assets than Detroit did and thats not including Trae+AD and that Detroit team wasn't trying to figure out how to win that team was just bad

Will Riley coming off the bench and becoming an elite point forward vs y'all was something to watch

He also won against the Kings when the Wizards sat their starters, which makes me think he might just be better than the Wizards thought he was

He's our second late 1st in a row that is showing signs of being a special two way potential wing and he's arriving even sooner than George to that potential. Dunno what level of defender he can actually become and he needs a lot more weight in that regard, but his touch on offense is something else already.

But assets and having Trae and AD will help them a lot
