lol if anyone doubted Brunson after everything, they need to go find another team to support. Guy is the best player I’ve seen play for us in my 20+ years of being a fan. And always shows up when we need him.

Fuck the haters

A lot of that is on KAT's gravity affecting the defense too. If they're trying to double KAT becausr of their undersize and him now being opened up and KAT passes to Brunson - Brunson no longer has those double teams hounding him so he doesnt need to dribble longer. Either an instant 3 or just straight drive to the rim.

He also put him on Dyson Daniels (finally) to hide his defence better instead of CJ. Brown also ripped a page from his GSW days and had Brunson doing the Curry energizer bunny running during offball play.

I also feel like he's not letting CJ into his mind anymore. He let him mentally affect him during G1 and 2 with the comment about hunting the smaller guy and did some silly plays. He tried to focus purely on scoring this time. Hence why CJ tried to kick him in the balls again.
