Do you feel like there is a real problem between Jalen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns?

Do I, you know, that's a hard thing to say. I can only go by what I watched last night when

Jailen Brunson wasn't on the court and I was paying so much more attention to it because Jose

Alvarado was out there and the things that you were saying yesterday about how Jose goes right to

Carl Anthony Towns. Now, I don't know if that's by design because that's exactly what the coach wants them to do or that's just something that the two of them have in common with, like they have a sink. There's, you know, whether it be him throwing to Carl Anthony Towns or him cutting off of Carl Anthony Towns last night, a couple times, a couple giving goes. And they were a pretty good plays. And I like the way that they look together. There's no question about it. And there's no question also that when John Brunson's on the basketball court, the basketball is going to be in his hands 75% of the time. Yeah. So a couple of things. Well, I wish this win last night would have happened against a better basketball team,

so we could have evaluated a little bit better because the Memphis Grizzlies are a mess.

They're one of these teams that is tanking to try to get up to the top of the draft.

So it's really tough to evaluate.

But the reason why I do think there is at least a little bit of a problem is because of how

Carl Anthony Towns just looked out there.

He looked so much more into it.

We just saw him against Houston, walk off the court, look nowhere at his teammates, not

slap any fives after a great pass that led to points to go into the half and then sulked into halftime.

And then, you know, last night he's running around. He's more inspired.

He is happier than he talks about moving the basketball around in the post game, which obviously they did a hell of a lot better without Jalen Brunson out there.

Now, this is not a criticism of Jailen Brunson.

The Knicks need Jailen Brunson more than anybody.

He is the best.

He's transformed this team.

But there is a lot of ball stopping with him.

He is more of a isolation guy than we want to admit sometimes,

and he has had to do that. He's had to be the hero. He's had to have these 40-point games
