The New York Knicks suffer a crushing 121-90 blowout loss to the Detroit Pistons, raising urgent questions about Jalen Brunson’s recent struggles and the alarming lack of energy across the roster. Gavin Schall and XJ debate whether the root issue is a “Jalen Brunson problem” or an “everyone but Brunson problem,” analyzing Brunson’s uncharacteristic six turnovers and zero assists, as well as the passive play from key teammates like OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns.
The discussion spotlights Deuce McBride’s breakout shooting and argues why he deserves a starting role to reignite the Knicks’ offense. The boys also tackle Mitchell Robinson’s diminishing defensive impact, potential center trade targets, and whether Mike Brown’s adjustments can reverse New York’s slide. With a brutal West Coast road trip looming, can the Knicks recapture their trademark grit, or is this the beginning of a deeper crisis at Madison Square Garden?
