So that part would make me a little uneasy, but the talent discrepancy is so large that I just have trouble not picking the Knicks as much of a feel-good story the Pistons are and as much as I have loved watching them play basketball this year.

Shouts to the Pistons young guys, though. Yeah. They are. J.B. Bickerstaff. J.B. Bickerstaff is just one of my favorites. Great coach. J.B.

Rudy Gobert.

Yeah, they're doing okay. And part of it is because of what's happening on the other end of the floor, right? I mean, for as great of a player as Jalen Brunson is, he just has weak points on defense. He doesn't have the size and he doesn't have the speed and he doesn't necessarily have the strength and the Knicks end up hiding him.

And what ends up happening a lot of times late in games when the Knicks are at full strength is that the opponents will put Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns and pick and roll after pick and roll or just action after action and And when you can get two subpar defenders into the same action, something good will often happen to the offense in those times.

Deuce McBride is in the starting lineup for him right now, and nobody is arguing the Knicks are better without Jalen Brunson. This story was the opposite of the Knicks are better without Jalen Brunson. This was the Knicks are limited without Jalen Brunson. Here are the ways they're trying to make up for it.

But there is one part of the game in which Deuce McBride over Jalen Brunson is an upgrade, and that's on the defensive end, where McBride is... I think their best point of attack defender of smalls this year. I think he's actually superior to Mikkel Bridges right now in that aspect. And you can watch how he guarded Stephen Curry in their most recent game when they played on Saturday night.

He's really feisty.
