GET UP | Jalen Brunson outplays Steph Curry as Knicks take down Warriors, 119-112 – Tim Legler

Hey what’s happening we are at the Ste let’s do it NOP no need to change your TV greeny is in Asin skiing with st but I have my guy Tim legler here to talk some hoops and we will get with Jeff Darlington Tim hasselbach and Mel Kyper

With his new mock draft fellas what’s happening it is time to have a great day but before we start let’s get to the wake up call and Anthony Edwards with the dunk of the year or maybe the decade did not score and only had one shot attempt in that first half another

Turnover for Utah Edwards gets it back and threw it down and one from the [Applause] Raptors legs that’s the kind of dunk that makes any attractive person give you the Stak face when they see it what is up with Ant-Man that’s the kind of dunk that makes me real fortunate that

I’m doing this for a living now because I remember I had to make some of those decisions right there that John Collins had to make and I would usually make a different decision than he did Anthony Edwards we were talking earlier in the Greening room about Jaylen Brunson and

How he can get his shot anytime and it turned into an Anthony Edwards athletic Love Fest how is Anthony Edwards now transcending the game when we talk about that throwback to that athletic explosive dunker yeah you know he’s added a lot of Polish to his game over

The last couple of years with his handle his mid-range the way he can manage late games but at the end of the day Ryan this is what what all brought our attention to Anthony Edwards in the first place and every now and then he has to remind you that he can do things

Athletically few guys in this league can well let hey we’re going to run the hurry up right now a run the floor I’m thinking about the football season legs we are way into basketball last night the Lakers dismantled Atlanta LeBron ad D’Angelo Russell all had great games is

This big three enough to get the Lakers in the Deep Run and why has it been so successful Deep Run I think is improbable but look they they have nights like this particular when D’Angelo Russell gives them that supplemental offense it gives them that three-point threat to take the pressure

Off of LeBron ad where you think they still could be dangerous okay also now we saw Jason tatums and the Celtics they Breeze past the Detroit the Detroit Pistons we get 31 from jayen Brown he’s playing some of his best ball of his career how much do they need him if they

Want to make a deep run this is the best Jaylen Brown has ever played and he’s he’s putting it all together right now his efficiency his scoring his defense is there every night and then more importantly his playmaking has really taken off to another level Jaylen Brown

Really helped out Jason Tatum and again Jason Tatum wasn’t there last night but Jaylen Brown steps up and becomes the star and number one that they need speaking of stars and number one jayen Brunson had a huge night last night in a win over Golden State how much of a

Factor will the Knicks be in the playoffs well they’re dangerous because of what Jaylen Brunson can do I mean this guy is in control out there on a level that few players in this league are the question is going to be their health OJ and anobi out again right now

Julius Rand we haven’t heard anything about him I don’t know if they’re going to have enough to make a serious run at the East with jayen Brunson is a guy that’s going to keep you in games and make you a very difficult out I mean you watched the New York Knicks you have

Jaylen Brunson stepping up becoming a superstar Josh Hart has played the most minutes of anybody in the entire NBA since the All-Star break he goes 48 last night this is a team that’s finding ways to win and I know Stephen A will be really excited if they do make a deep

Run but speaking of deep runs the team we’re used to seeing is the Golden State Warriors right now the Golden State Warriors take another step back this year they’re the only team to have a winning record for the entire season but a losing record at home they are

Currently 10th in the west standings three games from falling out of the playoffs entirely when we think about the Golden State Warriors Tim we’re used to this team finding ways to win and also in those critical Championship moments we see their big three we see the championship medal what’s been wrong

With this team this season that they can’t seem to find that stride the biggest issue with the Warriors this year is that they haven’t really had everybody playing at a high level offensively at the same time it’s it’s sort of been take your pick on a given

Night outside of Steph Curry and the inconsistency as a result has been difficult to overcome because this is not an elite defensive team the way that those teams were that were winning championships when they were pretty much always ranked in the top five in defensive rating that’s not this team

This team is smaller this team has a difficult times securing rebounds when the game is on the line they don’t really have a physical presence on that end of the floor the way that they did so therefore you need to be great offensively to overcome that most and

They just haven’t been they’ve had too many guys playing below their career Norm other than Steph Curry and that’s why we watch them some nights if they get it going on that given night we think wow you can’t write this team off yet but then you see too many nights

When it’s just hit or miss and it seems like they’re just Treading Water trying to stay alive and that’s just not going to be good enough in a loaded West yeah and watching that game last night Steph has the slow start no points in the first quarter you thought he was

Starting to come along but then Jaylen Brunson and New York Knicks find a way to finish the game off but speaking of teams finding ways to finish games and finish Seasons the Pittsburgh Kendrick Perkins likes to say the playoffs they have already started particularly for a team like the Golden State Warriors who

Are ninth in the west they have struggled against the top four teams in the conference as you can see here that totals up to a combined two and 12 12 record against those teams but that’s not the whole story right if you look at the 12 losses the margin of defeat is

Just over 6 and a half points a game and 11 of those games were played before January 1st remember that’s before the Golden State Warriors really had their full compliment of players together because of suspension because of various health issues my question is come on do you really want to bet against Steph

Curry a Steph Curry Le Warrior Squad because Steph has six 40-point games this season that that is the most in a season by a player at age 35 or older but the question is at this point Chan how far can Steph Curry take this Golden State Warriors team look I’m giving all

Of the greats around LeBron James Steph Curry Kevin Durant and this is not about them diminishing their generational talents because Steph in year 15 is still leading the NBA in made Theses I mean this is his 15th season and he’s still doing things that are unimaginable for the consistency of a perimeter

Shooter but the fact of the matter is the West is stacked and they’re stacked up top with teams that understand what it takes to try to build towards a championship and the Warriors even though they are capable of having a prime stuff season and so is LeBron James are you moisturizing

On this dude just put lotion on that’s necessary work though I’ll trying to help you out bro it look like you it don’t matter that’s a good point I do think you don’t bet the only problem for golden state is are they going to make the postseason at all

Because really they need to together six seven wins in a row in order to really even get out of that ninth spot you said you giv all the old heads a what one round right so they make it through the play in that’s if they be around and

When I think about Steph okay when I think about Steph can Steph lead a team to the to the playoffs yes but the Golden State Warriors Silling is a first round exit I just don’t see this team making any noise in this postseason now look have they made strides in this

Regular season right the development of Jonathan kaminga we see what paji is bringing to the table I get all that play pajsk psky yeah psky psky yeah that’s what I good job well done got it English class we talking basketball you nailed anday coming off the bench coming

Off the bench but that’s not enough to compete in a tough Western Conference and they got to get there J I’m going to say this I I like your thoughts where you’re like look I’m not going to count against the greatest players that we’ve seen in this generation if they get in

There we give them round I get that but ultimately we’re talking about a combined what four four and two you know I know Kevin Durant and Steph Curry so we’re talking about 10 championships between those three players they were always on good teams these teams suck

These teams suck they know they suck I hate it when we talk about basketball IQ and like Braun and Steph and this High basketball IQ every day he walks out there and it’s like this team is kind of trash because these are teams that have won multiple championships they

Understand what it takes not they trash they know that and I’m not saying that any individual players collectively as a group they know that they’re not getting it done Steph was on a 73 win team this team is nth in the west and they might not make

The we’re sitting up here saying well we think that they can make a run they don’t they might not think they can make a run so that’s the only thing I’m saying they’ve never been in the ninth spot eighth spot talking about we’re going to make a run could they get in

And get around because of their greatness 100% but the cap for all of those teams is not getting out of their conference I just don’t like any having to win two playin games it’s not so much once they’re in the playoffs I’m with you we saw what Steph Curry did to to

The number two Sacramento Kings last year putting up 50 plus in a game seven and literally leaving these young you know players saying oh my gosh that’s what it takes that I’m not betting against it’s having to win two playin games which it really looks like the Golden State Warriors or Lakers or

Probably both will have to to do that’s what’s going to the construction of the Miami Heat teams they were younger they were hungrier that’s not the nature of these teams that we’re talking about with LeBron bellies is full for for spee spech speee fore for For foreign spee spee for for for fore speech speech spee for for for oh took
