@pmmbasketball I think both JB and KAT have played like 1A players in the playoffs. Thats why they kicked ass the whole time. Obviously outside of Brunson in the finals.
KAT and Jalen Brunson have bad defensive reputations but have a lot of matchups they fair well against. It’s just they played most of their careers under TT67 who was always scared to switch them but then would have the worst behind the ball rotations ever.
@BrickCenter_ Watching Mitch warm up is my favorite part of Knicks games. He literally just fucks around and waits for the team to be done. Which honestly given his game is fine.
The "superstar stopper" concept seems a bit overstated to me, especially in an era without hand-checking and illegal defense
There are better and worse matchups but the game is just too dynamic to think about it in terms of stoppers instead of gameplans, how to scheme against
This Brunson vs Dame debate is really stupid imo because they both peaked very similar and each side is acting like it’s not close. Both were <CP3 but > Kyrie.
