Detroit – Jalen Brunson is not a battery to be the villain. Throughout his career in the NBA, he was the helpless, the second round selection that exceeded the exits and squeezed the greatest amount of his limited athletics.
But that is definitely not Brunson in Detroit. Here, he is the bad boy, the theme of teasing and blasphemies.
In a small hostile sand of Caesars on the day of Thorsday, Brunson was booed incessantly and received with negative energy as strong as I have heard this season, yes, stronger than anything in MSG for games 1 and 2.
The multitude of the meditated Pistons, anxious for their most important playoff game in many years, sang “FK you, Brunson” on each opportunity. They were unpleasant and Knicks fans cannot complain after giving the same treatment through Young.
