Jason Smith and Mike Harmon react to the New York Knicks eliminating the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 of the first round of the NBA Playoffs. They break down Jalen Brunson’s dominant performance, including his clutch three-pointer that sealed the win. Jason highlights the Knicks’ stagnant offensive style that often relies heavily on Brunson’s isolation play, while Mike points out Brunson’s efficiency and how his scoring made up for the minimal production from the Knicks’ bench.
Jason Smith:
"The Knicks offense become 'let's stand around and let Jalen Brunson dribble around the basketball,' and you have guys that can make big shots... but it's so much standing around and just, 'OK, we are just standing and watching and standing and watching,' and Jalen Brunson misses and suddenly it's up in the air — that's the entire Knicks offense. Sometimes it works, and sometimes you hit a big three and it defies logic and expectations and you hit a big three — OOOOHHHHHH LIKE JALEN BRUNSON JUST DID OOOHHHHH!"
Mike Harmon:
"15 of 33 on the night, 3 of 10 from 3-point range — that’s the one that matters. He’s up to 40 for the night to offset your really huge contributions from the bench: 6 points and 5 boards from McBride, Payne, and Robinson..."
