After playing 25 Knicks games Brunson has turned into a shoot-first PG only looking to score for himself, and Quickley's performance has been following in-suite. The Knicks had no ball-movement in the last two games. SAD!
The Knicks had 14 assists vs Wizards, and 17 assist vs Toronto in an OT game.

In the offseason when the Hawks added Murray to the team, then the Knicks signed Brunson.
I thought the Knicks would be attacking the Hawks new back-court of Trae & Murray by having a double back-court weapon of Btunson & Grimes half-court offense, then D.Rose & Quickley up-tempo offense.
25-30

The thing is that Brunson has been taking what the defense gives them and he's killing it.

Over his last 10 games:
49.5% FG, 49% 3pt%, 82.1 FT... 5.1apg, 5.4rpg. When you're shooting like this, by all means he should be taking the shots. What's he going to do, pass up so his teammates can take lower percentage shots?!

But yeah, since RJ's return, the ball has not been swinging around as well as they integrate another ball stopper into the mix. With Quickley on the floor next to Brunson, the Knicks were extremely quick and nimble on offense.

Hopefully this will sort itself out soon.

I think he overthinks things in the paint.

And outside of the paint.

Julius’ defensive effort has been great this season.

71.4% from the field
60.0% from 3
100.0% from the FT line

Is this, statistically, the most efficient shooting performance for a half in the history of the Knicks?

On the negative side, with this efficiency we are still only ahead by 3 points.
