[Highlight] Jalen Brunson takes over late in the 4th quarter for the Knicks, scoring 12 straight points to lead a 16-8 run and cap a 30-point night. New York defeats Atlanta 108-105.
The guy needs better PR. Just put on an absolute clinic with a single FT the last 5 minutes of the game.
Brunson has the reputation of a flopper/FT merchant when he’s barely 6 feet and puts his defenders in the blender because of his elite footwork. He should be an inspiration to this sub that anyone can make it in the NBA regardless of size.
I was just thinking he’s been under the radar this year. That’ll end as soon as the playoffs starts and he starts balling out (if past playoffs are any indication).
He was in the spotlight for a while when Nembhard pulled the chair on him and caused a turnover. That’s all it takes lmao
Nah he’s gonna go back to foulbaiting in the playoffs (because teams can’t guard him at his best) and the discourse will remain the same. He simply will never get the respect he deserves unless they make the finals.
He had the 2 FTs at the end too, I know it was an intentional foul but still
He don’t do the free throw merch anymore
And Atlanta erupts for the Knicks????
We pack their arena in the regular season
All southeast games are home games for the Knicks during the regular season
Those scrappy Southeast teams have been fighting back though, it wasn’t nearly as loud in Charlotte as it usually is.
Helped that they smacked us around. If it was close it would have been louder. When the Knicks made a run in the 4th (to cut it to 9) the Knicks fans were getting loud.
Knicks fans pack a shit load of arenas across the country when they’re good.
Always love hearing MVP chants for Brunson in other teams arenas
They all live down here and drive rent prices up since too many transplants moved into their city and drove rent prices up
It’s kinda ironic. New York gets gentrified, so we move and gentrify other places
Trickle-down gentrinomics
Finally, something trickles down
Nashville cowering in the corner
Yes I know the plight of the city I was born too. Don’t get the NYC YIMBY in me going
Still remember that postgame interview of Trae shittin on new Yorkers and u could audibly hear the boos. Y’all’s transplants dwarf ours 😂😂😂
The LEAST they could do is open some fire ass deli’s
The type of guy who would open a fire ass deli would rather die than leave NY
We already got American Deli, we good
It’s a close race. I’d wager half of all north carolinians have some tie to NY lol
Naw
Too many transplants in ATL
Everyone better than Brunson until it’s time to be better than Brunson
Best closer in the NBA. Period. Hawks were about to put this game away and Brunson goes nuts.
Great shooting by NWA. Has to have MIP locked
Dude was incredible, fouling him every possession might have led to less points given up
Dude is a pretty lethal FT shooter tbh so I wouldn’t count on that
He also could not hit a shot for his life in the first half and started getting something going only during the third period. He really is clutch.
He takes that Dyson match up very seriously.
both them boys were working tonight. not often dyson gets 5 fouls
Not as seriously as the refs
Brother, it’s a good match up. Dyson locks him up a few times.. Jalen gets him a few times. No need to be salty about it.
Brother, Dyson Daniels has fouled out once in my memory, against the Knicks. He had 5 fouls tonight. Brunson gets tick tack calls like that BS and one in the 4th all game. Jalen Johnson has Hart riding his hip pushing him off his driving lane in the last Hawks possession, no call. Save that BS for someone else. Brunson is IT with supreme ref support.
The energy your radiating is ruining my penjamin high :/
Extreme ref support with his 5 fta’s a game, sure thing buddy
STOP
Brunson averages like 6.5 FTA per game. No where near the top of the league in “ref support”
he shot 5 free throws (last 2 was an intentional foul) wtf are you talking about
Jalen Johnson shot 2 despite getting fouled damn near every drive.
so he took a negligible 3 less free throws while taking 7 less shots lol
and people legitimately don’t think he’s a shot maker, just a foul merchant
i really think he’s changed this season (besides drawing charges), way less flopping
Hasn’t really had a choice with the refs officiating him differently this year
When it’s not against my team, watching Brunson become automatic in the fourth can be so much fun to watch.
Captain clutch
Nah, I’m probably in the minority here but Haliburton is Captain Clutch imo. Dude had a phenomenal post season run last year.
More like Captain Crutch
True true
It’s a nickname, relax. It doesn’t mean no one else can be clutch
yeah but he’s right, how can someone have the name captain clutch when a guy shot a game winner on every playoff series he played last year (including the team “captain clutch” leads)
if anyone deserves that name its hali
so pathetic to have to go back an entire year the second you see someone compliment another player
Keep that same energy bruh. Yall lost to the nets, lol
He’s called Captain Clutch for a reason
He either makes it or gets the touch foul
Did he get any fouls there outside of the intentional?
Oh cmon, don’t start speaking facts now. This is Reddit
So you didn’t watch the game. Shame, it was a good one.
Mitchell Robinson finished the game with one foul. Knicks committed one foul all 4th quarter. Crazy in such a physical game. Almost impossible.
You really in your feelings tonight. Breathe brother. Try some meditation.
Cute, enjoy the meaningless W. We all know how these go when it matters.
These games do matter lol. Hawks were going all out because they can still drop to the play-in. Knicks can still fall to 4th seed.
Take away the 2 intentional fouls and the personals were pretty even bro
GG’s Knicks.
Fuck Goga Bitadze the fucking piece of shit. I wish Jock played in this game. Using one center against KAT/Robinson was just too much to overcome.
F the Magic now and forever. Somebody on their team hurts a Knicks damn near every game.
Somehow the league didn’t suspend him either it’s ridiculous. He hurts smart and like a week later jock. League office is like “fine by us!”
I pray for whatever team plays the Magic in the playoffs because they will not leave that series healthy
Heart attack Knicks.
I love you Jalen Brunson 🗣️
CPoY until determined otherwise.
tbh i dont remember him being that clutch in the 4th this season
With no data to back this up, it feels like there have been less clutch games with our losses being ugly and a good amount of our wins not really being that close.
i caught the same vibe, maybe we had more nail-biters before the in season tournament?
Very legal. Very cool
Jalen Himothy Brunson
need this hero ball so tremendously in the playoffs. shouldnt stray away from what our star talent does best, were not these other fast paced even spread teams, we need to let our star of the night (aka brunson, maybe kat) get 30 shots for us. slow it down, keep it close, because i think we’ll be able to win most of those with the ball in brunsons hands
Pearl clutching Knicks
alright alright. lets keep it rollin
These two need to match up in the first round. But I don’t it’s going to happen
yeah man i cant fucking wait until Brunson either goes nuclear and we barely win playoff games or he doesn’t and we lose, period. gonna be so fun to see the same shit 4 years in a row.
Yall sickos for watching this instead of the natty lol
Brother this game ended before halftime
Then you shoulda switched over to the natty
Big win. Means nothing but wow
Yes it does. Cavs and Knicks would be tied for 2 seed right now if Knicks dropped this, and Cavs have an easier schedule
