The Knicks were up 8 with 6 mins to go in Game 1 & were up 14 with 6 mins to go in Game 2.
The Knicks have also been up at halftime in 2 of the 4 games.
I am 100% fine with any of KAT, OG or Brunson winning Finals MVP but NBA media behaves weird as hell about small guards(hello Steph).
If Brunson was 6’6 & averaged just under 30 points with what he’s done in the 4th quarter of every game he’d be the undisputed FMVP.
@chillbutvibrant Hes not in rhythm and theres no time to get him into one + Jose is crushing so I dont think they go to him. But wouldn't rule it out if Mitch J ever goes to ghost Hart (but I dont think that's will ever happen at this point). Jose seems to be an answer
The Knicks went small to win Game 4 in heroic fashion.
But shocking as it may be to some, pairing Brunson with another small guard has been one of the most dominant lineup configurations throughout his entire Knicks tenure 👇🏾
Funniest thing about the first 2 games was seeing Tatum fans hyping about Brunson’s efficiency more than anyone else. That boy Tatum averaged 21ppg on 37% shooting across 2 Finals, against single coverage 💀
Get the fuck outta here

@ShaxNBA Accepts and extends ala Josh Hart
3 years, $21M
So it’ll be really 4 years, $25M
But cap hits will be like
$4.M
$5.5M
$7M
$8.5M
So his hit increases with the tax to help with 2nd apron
