After witnessing Jalen Brunson’s performance against the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 today, many have started to side with Draymond Green’s take about the New York Knicks point guard. The excitement at Madison Square Garden kept reducing every minute after Brunson missed shots, one after the other. It turned worse after the 27-year-old fractured his left hand during the third quarter. However, a heartbroken fanbase did not show any sympathy to Brunson, deeming that he “didn’t show up anyway”. 

Brunson was not only missing shots, but he was also making a lot of careless mistakes which Indiana took advantage of. The Knicks were called for a 5-second violation, which was the turning point of the game, and the blame ultimately fell on Brunson. Later, he headed to the locker room with a fractured left hand, but fans did not hold back.

Draymond Green was questioned if Brunson was the best point guard in the NBA a few days ago. The 2016 DPOY denied it and went on to choose his teammate, Stephen Curry. Many did not agree with this take, but after Brunson’s underwhelming performance today, they eventually switched sides!

Draymond Green received unexpected support after Jalen Brunson’s “fault” was exposed for Knicks’ exit

A fan tweeted, “They really put Jalen Brunson over Steph Curry as the best point guard today”, agreeing with Green’s take about the Knicks guard. Curry and the Warriors did not make it to the playoffs this year. Fans initially used this fact to eliminate Green’s take, but the times have changed now. 

An X user said, “I never understood the hype around Brunson. Yea he’s scoring 40 but the man is taking 35 shots. Let dame or curry take that amount and they scoring 50+.” Some believe Brunson was ball-dominant, but less efficient at the same time. Curry or Damian Lillard have fewer attempts when compared with Brunson. 

Another fan wrote, “Absolutely f****** pathetic. Jalen Brunson. 5 second call, your fault. Cutting in front of the inbounded not paying attention. Your fault. You are the reason why we r here.” Brunson was struggling all together today. Shots were not falling, he was making rookie mistakes, turnovers, etc. 

“Didn’t show up anyway, “ said another fan on X. Brunson shot 6/17 from the field today. He was already having a bad night, and it got worse with a fracture. So the above words show how disappointed the fans were in Brunson. 

Another user asked, “Who is the next PG y’all will claim is better than Steph curry? Tyrese Haliburton you are up my brother”. As Brunson and Curry are both out of playoffs. Haliburton will garner more attention now, who had 26 points and 6 assists today.

The NY Knicks are officially out of playoff contention and their 24-year streak of not making it to the Conference Finals continues. Let’s see if they can change the result in the next season.
