[Brunson on the Pacers series] “The one thing I hated the most, when everyone was like ‘they’re tired’ or ‘they’re injured’… that pissed me off. That’s not the reason we lost. I hate the narrative.”
If only the salty Knicks fanbase could learn from their best player and stop crying about injuries.
That’s not really what he’s saying though. He’s a competitor and the team was fighting. Brunson will always say that. He even went in to say right after thay the injuries welder a huge factor and that the team wasn’t very deep at that point. The injuries were the biggest factor for the Knicks – but the Pacers played their asses off and beat them all the same. Shot the lights out. Knicks fans aren’t salty – just resigned to the fact that injuries mounted. Hoping they can come back while next year.

I love rooting against Brunson as an opposing player, but he seems like a pretty cool guy from what I’ve seen in podcast clips. Pretty humble and down to earth. Okay that was painful typing that out, now here’s the obligatory “hope the Knicks miss the playoffs next year” ending.
