interesting that a former Celtic is the one on ESPN that is acknowledging that the knicks WON the game and gives kudos to their players and not focusing on the team that LOST = the Celtics. Thanks Perk. JB and Randle both deserve to be all stars.

Brunson/Randle over who?
Seven Grand

@Khalil From Brooklyn I’d take Darius garland and Derozan for all star over Brunson and randle

@Ordnry Christian Coaches voting and Hawks have been bad
Khalil From Brooklyn
January 29, 2023 at 8:41 pm
@Seven Grand Chicago has him and 2 other stars and they still bad. Cleveland is good enough for 2 stars but can’t see them getting 2 guards unless Garland gets a wildcard spot.

@Khalil From Brooklyn hawks are an 8 seed knicks are an 7 seed

R.J Barrett needs to develop to star-superstar status for the Knicks to be a championship contender. Randle and Brusen are good players and deserve to be all stars this year, but Barrett must ascend for the Knicks to take the next step.

Hes more clutch than randle and brunson with way less touches,and is a better defender as well,you clearly dont watch the games.
King BamBam
January 28, 2023 at 5:29 am
@K1ngLaSoSa what are you talking about Jalen Brunson is ranked #5 in the entire league in clutch time scoring this season while shooting 49.3% from the field and 45.5% from the 3 during clutch time this season do you watch the games?

Randle averging 25 he a all star but brunson is not
Rocket Hoops
January 27, 2023 at 5:15 pm
I’m sorry but both of them can’t be all stars for the simple fact that they are not a top 3-4 seed, I could see teams like the bucks, Celtics, and 76ers, having two all stars but not the mediocre Knicks

January 27, 2023 at 8:08 pm
Knicks are in the East where it is competitive if they were in the West Knicks would be 4th seed. They only 7th seed because East is stronger then West. The West is laughly weak.
Kim Jonghyun
January 29, 2023 at 11:07 pm
@emersonssbb doesn’t matter. That just means the teams ahead of them should have 2 all stars. Or else the other better east teams players are getting robbed
emersonssbb
January 29, 2023 at 11:27 pm
@Kim Jonghyun Yes it does matter. Joel Embidd got snubbed and Philly is 2nd in the East. Lebron James made it to the All Star when his team is laughable at 13-14 seed in the west.Sabonis got snubbed too he shouldve been a starter Kings are doing good.

Jalen Brunson plays like Goran Dragic Suns. People forgot the Dragon become a Third Team All NBA.
Watching Brunson reminds me of those step back jump shots and when he attacks the paint.
Mavs made a bad decision trading Porzingis and Brunson walks for free.
I know league penalize the Knicks but if Knicks are guilty, the picks should go to the Mavs.
I’m not sure why Cam Reddish can’t play because Barrett and Reddish were teammates back in Duke if I’m not mistaken.
Time to evaluate the others so Randle and Brunson could be surrounded by better players.
RJ is not consistent.

That’s not how it went clown. Knicks 2-1 vs Mitchell btw.

RJ plays defense. Knicks would’ve been exploited having 2 small guards in the backcourt who don’t play defense
Rob Smith
January 27, 2023 at 6:16 pm
Knicks are legit contenders if they get Zach LaVine with out losing any of their core players
Juy Ahmad
January 27, 2023 at 6:58 pm
Stop it 😂 they are not a Zach Lavine move away from being a contender. They’re a good team but that move does t make them a contender in the east when you have the sixers, bucks, Celtics, and nets
JmanDatN
January 27, 2023 at 7:11 pm
@Juy Ahmad hey everyone said brunson wouldnt move the needle….it did. Im pretty certain Lavine would move the needle some more as well
Juy Ahmad
January 27, 2023 at 7:15 pm
@JmanDatN I don’t think move does anything, especially since Lavine is not a playoff performer and has only made the playoffs one time. If this was Donovan Mitchell, it might be another story because Mitchell is great in the playoffs

Perk is a real one..hes the only person on TV giving the knicks the credit they deserve for that win..everyone else is either only talking about the celtics or just ignoring it all together…stay real perk..
