Although The Knicks never missed the center stage in New Yorkeven in their years of insignificance and the prominence (for better or worse) of their neighbors the Nets, in sports terms they have long been in an unusual way. His role younger brother. However, things are back to normal and those driven by Tom Thibodeau you can enjoy again full reign in the city.
At this Monday’s meeting, Knicks and Nets They met for the first time after collapse of brooklyn and the result (as well as the process) was powerful: 124-106 for New Yorkwho was able to shine against a team led by Jacque Vaughn who can do little between them ruins left by their pierced figures.
And just as New York has an owner when it comes to teams, it also has one on an individual level. Today there is no doubt that the best player in town is jalen bransonwhich continues to shine to break with what seemed a damn the shots at point guard. The former Dallas man did whatever he wanted against the Nets: 40 points and seemingly 15 of 21 from the field.
what Branson have not been selected for the All-Star Game is one of them great injustices of this 2022-2023. There aren’t 12 players better than him in the Eastern Conference.
In addition to Brunson, the Knicks also saw another great game from newcomer Josh Hartwho was born to play on this Thibodeau team: 27 points and 10-14 for the exPortland forwardwho took the place of a RJ Barrett lackluster and low. The Canadian added just 4 points, one rebound and 0 assists in 24 minutes.
Of course, if we talk about apathy and poor performance, what Brooklyn has done cannot be ignored. With Spencer Dinwiddie In a star role that suits him all too well (he took twice as many shots as any other teammate, but finished 8-21 from the field) and a porous defense that allowed 124 points, the loss is yet another sign of fall in front of these nets. It wouldn’t even be surprising if the Knicks could soon pass them in the Eastern standings.
Separate chapter for Ben Simmons. Despite the fact that Brooklyn today has one of the worse roster of the championship numerically, the Australian has lost his place as a starter and has fewer and fewer minutes in the Vaughn rotation. Against the Knicks he played just 12 and finished with 2 points and 2 assists.
Simmons no longer attacks the basket, misses his few attempts in the paint, doesn’t dominate as a defender or passer… From star to pariah in Philly. From the beginning to the end of the rotation in Brooklyn. The future is completely uncertain for a basketball player who seems to have lost everything as an NBA player.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
