Knicks make another big statement in blowout win of the Nuggets

Knicks make another big statement in blowout win of the Nuggets

A couple of days ago I said we’ll know if the Knicks are for real if they beat the Nuggets and boy did they do just that they ranom boys up out of the garden Thursday night so let’s talk Nicks with celso jiga Porto co-host of

The Nicks morning Brew my man I know you feeling great today after that blowout win yesterday how you feeling man how could you not feel good after that you know I mean let’s be real most Nicks fans went into that game yester like oh we don’t have iHeart what are we going

To do at the sentius I joke is going to kill us and we dog walked them brand I mean we literally walked out of that building how anybody can leave that game and be negative in any fashion whether it’s Nick’s Twitter Nick’s media it’s crazy the team is legit right now man

Yeah yeah I’m I’m surprised I didn’t see one of those viral Bing Bong videos after a blowout like that but you don’t just beat up on the defending champs like that unless you got something cooking go all the way in with your thoughts on Thursday’s night when from a

Team standpoint we’re going to talk about the players nexts yeah I mean let’s be real like I said the the biggest thing for me is the fact that no one really counted on the Knicks to walk away with that W last night everybody was concerned about the center position

Everybody’s like how are we going to be able to hold Joker down and here we are 122 uh 12284 right to walk away with that on the Nuggets is amazing the team overall since the OG trade shows that the OG factor is in fact real and

There’s no way you can look at any piece of last night in a negative fashion I know you said we talk about players individually but that’s where I want to talk about Julius Randle man this is the Randle version that I’ve been begging for the guy that doesn’t need to put up

Those 25 points but he’s dishing he’s swishing he’s doing that cly kind of atmosphere and giving you a little bit of everything so I really felt like last night the only thing we missed was bringing in Kaden in at the end of the game Off the Bench to put some points in

Bro all right so we’re gonna go right into it give out your game ball and of course this New York City man we love the flowers give you give out them flowers it’s going to be two people man OG and anobi right dead smack in the middle of

The game I put the Tweet out there the Jersey must be ordered so I I mean the fact that he’s putting up the points he’s all over the place and you see the joy that he’s bringing with this team for some reason the Knicks are showing

That when they make a trade we go on Amazing runs and OG is that guy the second one again it’s gonna be Julius Randall bro the way that he’s showing his IQ and looking to pass the ball out and know that he’s going to get that ball back eventually is really kind of

Pulling away that ISO and it’s making this team really look like they’re jelling at a level that most people should be scared of yeah even Nuggets head coach Mike Malone was talking about OG he heard the garden chanting this man’s name I mean it’s been a heck of a

Trade great job by Leon Rose and when we talk about Julius Randle what he’s gone through with you know within this city within this fan base the fact that every time I ask someone who deserves their flowers everyone comes on and says Julius Randall now there’s the Westside

Story and there’s the Julius Randle story two of the greatest love stories in New York City history uh you were talking about Jaylen Brunson he was an allstar game snub from the starter standpoint I don’t be biased but how you feel about that well it’s funny this

Morning on our show the Nicks morning Brew we actually had Chris manx on with Jerry Ferrara and that was the debate and the conversation because it comes down to the fan voting right so yes we can look at it as he got snubbed as a

Nicks fan but the point is when that fan base doesn’t show up and some are saying we didn’t show up to give him the votes he wants whether you agree with the popularity side of it I think there needs to be changes on the voting I will

Put that out there but listen I said it last night when we were with our show and we said if anything him getting snubbed turns into this team showing up and showing out against the Nuggets we saw what happens when you don’t put respect on Jaylen Brunson and these

Knicks last night what’s going to take for Jaylen Brunson to get National recognition his National flowers for the fans all over the NBA to really understand that this man can ball he is him well I mean the shortcut would be he can go drop a mixtape in an album right

He starts putting some Tik toks out there all of a sudden he’ll have the popularity but realistically I think the more media coverage because of the fact that we are performing and we get to that Championship round we move on those playoffs we get more eyes on who jul uh

Jaylen Brun is that’s when you’ll start to see the national recognition that he deserves finally come to light bro all right we’re a couple weeks from the All-Star game if you’re tibs what are you telling your team in terms of keeping this momentum in this run going

With the break coming up um well we can do it in our best tips voice well guys I got tell you right now you know you gotta really really really work hard that was better than Jerry’s and Jerry’s an actor prob he’s probably them telling them

What we’re all saying don’t lose side of the goal keep doing what you’re doing get better and better people forget this is only 13 games with OG like this is still the beginning of that imagine this squad when Mitch Robinson comes back imagine this squad when precious keeps

Finding his legs imagine when Grimes starts to figure it out up top and that confidence comes back so I think he’s telling them stick to what we do best show me that defense move the ball around which is crazy to say right move the ball around but that’s what we’re

Doing now so I think he’s just on to the next one like he is every time but hey the man is laughing he’s smiling so who knows he might actually be in there you know having a cocktail with the guys at this point I can’t even call it

Man tibs look like he drank hinin zero uh but but you don’t you don’t feel like this team is peing at the right at the at the wrong time do you think they’re peing too early in the season or you just think that hey this is a good

Basketball team um yeah I think it is the fact that we are a good basketball team right I don’t look at it as we’re peing right the biggest benefit to me when we made that OG trade was it was done so early you were able to see what

This team has and all those narratives that you see in Media or on Twitter they’re all being answered oh we need to go get a backup center really because we didn’t have two of them last night and we saw precious and Sim hold it down so

Now we can kind of move away from the oh we need a backup center no we don’t right you’re starting to see hey the conversation of oh we need a star stop we have those okay we’re now talking about if we make a move go get us a

Bench piece bring us a little bit more points off for that listen to that Brandon go get me a bench piece I’m not worried about the Stars cuz we got them right here so I think they are peing at the right time but I don’t think it’s a

Peak bro I think it’s just the beginning of the uphill climb and they’re about to they’re about to go off Soo tell the people where they can find you you can find me Nick morning Brew uh we do everything on Brew Crew sports follow me
