Jalen Brunson won’t be rattled or upset by the Knicks’ defeat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The New York Knicks lost Game 6 of the Indiana Pacers’ Eastern Conference Finals. Their season is now over as they haven’t reached the NBA Finals.
Perhaps no one has criticized tonight more than Josh Hart, who dropped just six points off the bench in a crucial game.
Jalen Brunson scored just 19 points as he didn’t follow up on making history that would make 32 points history in Game 5.
But how does All-Star Guard feel about the future of their team? Well, in his own words, he is “overconfident” about them.

The reporter asked Jalen Branson how confident he is about the Knicks’ core pieces that will make the right adjustments to find success next year.
With the Eastern Conference blowing up next year, Branson isn’t just convinced the Knicks will make it right. He is overconfident.
“Most confident. Overconfident. Seriously. I have no ounce of doubt that I am not confident in this group.”
Branson is helping both the Knicks roster and its front office, helping the team prepare to push another championship.

There is no doubt that there will be some improvements on this Knicks roster. The power of the stars is strong, but their lack of depth has come back to annoy them against the Pacers.
The problem with Leon Rose and the Knicks’ front office is that they don’t have the assets to move on. The Knicks have almost empty their war chest as part of the Michal Bridge trade.
Now is the time for some tough decisions and some ingenuity. Some players have to make a path so that the Knicks can earn assets and clear cap space for another big name.
How will the Knicks make it happen? Rose brilliantly rebuilt the franchise in his time, which earned him the organization’s trust.
