However, Brunson said he merely spoke up after a bad loss to the Mavericks and during the short time before Mike Brown entered the locker room. “It was just me voicing my opinion after the game against Dallas,” Brunson said Tuesday. “It wasn’t me calling a team meeting. We meet after games. I said something before coach walked in. That’s it.”

Brunson entered Monday as the Eastern Conference leader in charges drawn with 13. He also finished No. 1 in the East the last two seasons. “It’s something I’ve always done,” Brunson said. “I think it not only does a lot for your team, it’s a turnover, you get the ball, it can be a momentum swing for you. It’s an offensive foul, you get the ball back ,it could be big for your team in terms of momentum and getting the ball.”
John Starks: I always tell people this, he's the most balanced athlete that I ever played against. Seemed like he was always on balance. And one thing you knew about him, the game is never over with. Even when you think you got the game one, it's never over with him because he plays to the buzzer. You know what I mean? And that's something that I learned playing against him. And that was my mentality is play towards to the buzzer.

After the Knicks win over the Raptors in Toronto last week, when Bridges scored 30 points, his answer on the MSG Network broadcast went viral for how honest he was. Bridges admitted that he was “feeling too entitled” and “wasn’t being coachable.” That realization wasn’t prompted by the coaching staff or his teammates — it came from within. “I think my biggest thing is being accountable, accountability,” Bridges told The Post after the win over the Lakers Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. “You spend a lot of time by yourself, so just trying to realize what I gotta do to be better. I think that was one of the big things — I wasn’t being accountable enough for things that were happening. And not me being coachable as well, as I should.”

According to Highkin, the Blazers are willing to act as a third team — if they get a player they really like. But Highkin doesn’t think Mikal Bridges (Knicks) or Jalen McDaniels (Timberwolves) would fit that bill. As Highkin writes, the Blazers were interested in Bridges, but that was a few years ago when he was obviously younger and on a more team-friendly contract, not the four-year, $150MM extension that will begin next season.
Shams Charania: The Bucks are sifting through proposals specifically from the heat Wolves, Knicks and Warriors. And throughout the whole process, the Bucks have wanted a young blue chip talent and or a surplus of draft picks. And so my understanding is the Warriors have made a pick heavy offer. Minnesota is more of a player centric offer, and Miami is somewhere in the middle, somewhere between players and picks. And so the Bucks are going to have to choose. Do we take one of these offers?
Under coach Mike Brown, defensive coordinator Brendan O’Connor and this new staff, the Knicks began the season with a system that emphasized forcing the ball into the middle — into the length they have in Karl-Anthony Towns, Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby. That type of system is rare and a departure from what most of them have done throughout their careers, including last year under Tom Thibodeau. There were frequent miscommunications, and their defense was constantly getting broken down — forcing it to collapse and leaving shooters open on the perimeter for kickout threes, often the result of missed rotations.
