Tiki Barber

So after the game, Jalen Brunson was asked, why did it take so long?

And I want you to listen very carefully to his answer, because I'm telling you, you're either going to go down the road of Mike Brown is an idiot or Mike Brown is a genius.

Take a listen to this exchange between a reporter.

I think it was Stefan Bondi, but I'm not positive.

and the captain of the New York Knicks and the soon-to-be king of New York, Jalen Brunson.

Even drew some laughs because of how quick he was to answer this.

So to summarize, he does not know why it took so long, and he gave a one-word no, and then yes, it's an effective play.

Now, either Mike Brown is an idiot because why did it take you until game 78 to realize that, hey, these two players could play really well off of each other and more effectively by running more pick and rolls.

So idiot is column A, or column B is Mike Brown said, I'm going to wait.

i'm gonna wait until the very last second to unleash holy hell on our opponents i'm gonna hold that trump card close to my chest i'm not gonna show it to you and then when i need to and why not a couple of games before the playoffs we got to get this thing working now i'll start to implement it now what now what would be the purpose of that tape why i mean this isn't like holding back uh you know the tush push or some kind of random nfl play no i think

I think tape matters.

I think watching the effectiveness of it, watching different ways you can defend it.

I think that sometimes, like I gave you an example last night, and I know this sounded like an excuse.

I was reading from a Celtic reporter that, yeah, you can see the Celtics are holding back a lot on defense tonight in terms of plays.

So there is a lot of that cat and mouse game in terms of what you want to show and what you don't want to show.

What?

Cat and mouse game.

Yeah, why would I?

What's the problem with that?

I didn't think of that.
