Deep dives
The Knicks dominate and prove their worth against the champions
The New York Knicks showcased their defensive prowess and sent a clear message with a decisive victory over the defending champions. The team's lockdown defense forced numerous turnovers and resulted in easy offense. OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson stood out with standout performances and highlighted the Knicks' emergence as a real threat in the league.
Kendrick Perkins raises concerns about the Knicks' bench and Tom Thibodeau's coaching
Despite the Knicks' impressive win, Kendrick Perkins expressed concerns about the team's bench and the heavy load carried by the starters. Perkins criticized coach Tom Thibodeau for potentially overworking the starters and not utilizing the bench enough. He stressed the importance of having a playmaker for the second unit to avoid relying too heavily on Jalen Brunson. Perkins also highlighted the need for better management of the team's minutes to avoid compromising their performance in the playoffs.
Jalen Brunson's All-Star caliber performance and the debate over his All-Star starter selection
Jalen Brunson's exceptional performance for the Knicks has led to discussions regarding his All-Star candidacy. Despite putting up impressive numbers and making a significant impact on both ends of the court, Brunson narrowly missed out on being a starter in the All-Star Game. The debate surrounding his selection and comparisons to other guards like Tyrese Haliburton and Donovan Mitchell reflects the Knicks' growing confidence in Brunson's abilities and reveals the fan and media support he has gained.
