[Highlights] Dyson Daniels Defense on Jalen Brunson from Game 3
Brunson had 19 points on 8⁄11 fg, 3⁄3 from 3 in the 1st quarter of the series.
In 11 quarters since then? 64 points on 22⁄60 shooting, 4⁄16 from 3.
Credit to Dyson and Quin for adjusting quickly, and NAW has been solid on Brunson as well.
Hawks were way too willing to give up switches in the 1st q in game 1. Almost all of Brunson’s points that game came after Dyson switched off from him and Brunson got to hunt CJ or Onyeka.
I believe in game 1 he scored exactly 2 points on dyson
Yep glad we fixed that real quick
Absolutely. Brunson continues to get his points. But his efficiency is down from the regular season. I guess you worry about that a little less if KAT and Robinson are gobbling up rebounds and getting you put-backs. But it’s still good to see that the Hawks are making the Knicks’ possessions less productive.
They have two enormous centers, Atlanta doesn’t. There could be something there lol
Your face when we put Gabe Vincent on Keaton Wallace’s shoulders
Bro lmao
Onyeka is def outmatched in size, but they cant dribble against him and the perimeter players are making it hard to get the ball to them down low.
Robinson also just cant defend Onyeka if Dyson isnt out there. Either concedes the three which you cannot do with Onyeka or he gets past him for an easy drive. Hes been unplayable defensively the last two games and is a -28 in two 1 point games combined.
Shhh. They’re flaming Mike brown but he’s right
Yeah i think hes had a pretty ugly series so far as a coach but “play mitch more” and “get kat the ball” are not some perfect simple coaching solutions.
Well all eyes are on jock landale’s ankle rn…
it doesn’t matter when the nova boys actively don’t want to involve anyone that isn’t part of their in group.
kat was +22 in a 1 point loss yesterday. really makes you think…
There definitely could be, and they should go for it for sure. However, Atlanta is really good at forcing turnovers and they’ve keyed in on taking away the lob for mitchell robinson. If they try to get too cute then they might end up coughing up the ball and letting atlanta run which is just playing into atlanta’s hands. Still think they should be using KAT way more but there’s trade offs to that.
I understand Mike Brown likes a fast paced offense but not playing Kat and Mitch at the same time is gross negligence.
Brunson has been in hell for the majority of this series. probablyworse than ever before. It’s crazy
Dyson is the best guard defender in the league.
I don’t think it’s that crazy.
The Knicks have Mike Brown as their HC, there won’t be any adjustments. Dude sucks
i got downvoted way back earlier in the season for saying that he is a floor raiser, not a ceiling raiser.
How Atlanta navigated switches and screens here is really impressive. Dyson is such a frustrating defender, it feels impossible to lose him. NAW has also been great at pressuring Brunson although think Dyson is mvp of that matchup.
How much would it suck to finally get Dyson screened off of you just to see NAWs lanky ass in the way
DPOY voting is busted. Not that Dyson should’ve won, but he should’ve gotten more than 5 points. Guard defense is so underrated in the NBA.
If he gets left off of all-defense I’m gonna freak out
If Mike Brown realizes that KAT is way more effective against us driving to the basket and playing in the post than sitting in the corner waiting for 3s or chilling in the dunkers spot watching Brunson iso, the Knicks will absolutely bounce back.
the knicks are done for unless someone tells the nova boys to put away their egos and stop jerking each other off so they can actually involve KAT in the offense
Are we watching the same game? I think I’m getting a different feed than you are
If anyone would recognize players jerking each other off, it’s u/CumAssualt
Our two centers are taller than their tallest……let’s post them in the corner. Mike Brown with ref levels of intelligence.
Don’t forget to tell your small fat point guard to dribble into a bad pass while you’re huge center stands by themselves in the corner
credit where its due, but its on our dunce of a coach to find the other superstar we have that has a huge mismatch
I do find myself being more nervous when KAT has the ball, and I was not expecting that.
KAT has been very effective when he actually gets the ball
Watching good defense like that is so fun
And then just when he thinks he can get away from the Great Barrier Thief… NAW
[removed]
U ok buddy?
As his good as his defense was on Brunson, I was even more impressed with NAW’s defense on him this series. Dude moves his feet very well, has quick/active hands, and is strong enough to not get bullied by Brunson in the post unlike a lot of other guards.
Dyson I think was worse for Brunson but NAWs defense has been great too. NAW actually does pretty decent in matchups that shouldn’t be favourable. A couple times he seemed decent on KAT lol. S/o kuminga too, he is locked in on def
When he was on the twolves I was pretty sure there was a possession where he boxed out jokic from getting a rebound and I was just like ….what lmao. Like jokic was legit beating on him to get to it and NAW just didnt move.
Wow, obviously tons of credit to Dyson here but I am seeing why people were saying Brunson was terrible this game. Box score FG% didn’t look so bad but a decent chunk of these shots just shouldn’t have been taken
He’s forcing it a lot
The way he’s just mirroring his every move brining it up court at 0:42 is beautiful
Daniels is like water. Fuck JB lol
He is a beast, I call him the Tasmanian devil
Dyson has the strange vacant mode of being that a lot of good defenders do.
I don’t know what you mean by this?
Max Kellerman just dropped to his knees in a Bronx bodega
Alright we’ll give you Austin Reaves.
Who agrees with me that Dyson Daniels’ defense on Jalen Brunson from Game 3 has been a success?
