These last three games are valuable reference points for the rest of the season. Efficacy builders. Learning the value of "try"... getting down, but then gaining confidence that it's within you to reverse the script and maybe even end up on top.

Btw does anyone else here even remember Sidney Moncrief on those great 80's Bucks teams or Alvin Robertson on the Spurs then the Bucks? You don't usually get lockdown defense from shooting guards that can get 2-3 steals a game.

I used to hate that guy.   Him and Jack Sikma!

16

Ya Breen kept mentioning that. Possibly a Knicks record for a guard. I thought I heard Clyde say that was his career high. Not sure. Huge though 16 is nutty for a guy of his stature.

Since Nique y’all!  Why don’t I remember Nique getting 5 steals in any game ever. I swear I watched them all but 5!!!! Nice Murray!

Or even Bucks. He was an animal on D but what I saw from Murray tonight, Alvin may have been the last guy I saw like that. I mean Pippen too I guess in many games for the Bulls but I’m not even sure what Pippen’s career high in a single game is in steal. Alvin, Pippen.. I can’t think of any others guards or wing type perimeter defenders impose like Dejounte did tonight. Defensive clinic put on by our guy. 

Right? I'm like watching DJM at SG and its like Sidney Moncrief or Alvin Robertson has come back from the 1980's and possessed DJM this season. People remember Pippen as a perimeter defender but a shooting guard that can lock a guy down AND ALSO get a ton of steals on a consistent basis? 

I can honestly say El Sid and Alvin are the only two shooting guards I can ever remember being able to do that.

Whoa how can you hate those guys? I loved those guys. Sikma was so great in Seattle and for the Bucks. Did you hate them just because we were playoff rivals? Or is it their games you hate? Honestly curious.

It feels like 2021 playoffs again.  I may have been put on this earth to drink Knick’s tears.

Have you told the Knicksquawkers over on FakeGM that Brunson is a wayfair version of Trae yet? 

Nope, that would be unfair to Trae.

Brunson is a wayfair version of Howard Eisley.

Nbaradio morning show made a comment that, when the game is about skill and pace/space, the Hawks can beat just about anybody.  But when it's about physicality they're not very good.  Harsh but true.... for now.

I hope Nathan and Schlenk recognize that.  Perhaps they do and that's part of why they (effectively) swapped Kevin for Murray?  We need more hosses willing to 'touch' people, so to speak.
