00:00When you look at what he did, particularly against the Bulls, 22 in the first quarter, and listen, the captain
00:07needed to find his shot.
00:08He needed to find the confidence.
00:09I think what I like seeing in that first quarter, sure, he hit a bunch of threes, but I like
00:14that he was able to get to his mid-range game.
00:16The floater was working.
00:17The middie pull-up was working.
00:18You were seeing him feel like he was really in his bag.
00:21Again, it's the Bulls.
00:23Was I personally worried about him?
00:25No.
00:25You want your best player to make those makeable shots because part of the Knicks being the champions last year
00:31and having that secret sauce in the fourth quarter was, hey, Jalen Brunson can get to any spot on the
00:36floor, which we saw yesterday, and be able to hit this shot from here, from this elbow, this pull-up
00:42three from the top of the key, do all these different things, and being able to just hit those shots.
00:47That's really the antidote for a lot of this.
00:49So to see him do that, even though it's against the Bulls, which we keep saying, it is encouraging because
00:54you just wanted to see that, hey, this can still happen consistently.
