Yes I do remember that game. That same game Kyrie had 44points and 10 assists and out dueled Brunson to get the W.
I'm not saying Brunson is a bad player. Quite the opposite. Brunson is great. He's had a career year and has reached a place I truly never thought he could've reached. At the same time, I'm trying to highlight how good Irving also is and has been right now. Can Kyrie be the 1st option on the Knicks and lead them to their record? Probably not just due to health issues and Thibs running him into the ground. But I wouldn't be shocked if in that reality the Knicks are in a similar place today with Kyrie at the helm.
