Time For A Full Investigation: We Got A Video Showing Jalen Brunson Nearly Shattering His Ankle As MSG's Court Gave Out Under Him

What the fuck, man? Obviously the court is supposed to have a little bit of flex, it's not concrete. But you can't have your star's ankle turn into dust because of the floor. This only happens at MetLife Stadium, not MSG. This can't happen to Jalen Brunson in a close out game, with a few minutes to go. It all led to the Knicks loss: 

You ended up with Brunson and Hart sitting at the scorer's table, waiting to check in as the clock ticked down. Thibs didn't call a timeout 

Unless the Knicks had a 5-on-0 fast break, you gotta call timeout and get Brunson and Hart back into the game. That's a no-brainer man. But this is about Brunson's ankle (and Hart's body). This is about how MSG needs to have Brunson out there and put the floor down himself if need be. Can't be having an ankle nearly snap because of too much give and rolling it that way. I don't care if it's the shadows causing it either, let the Knicks starting 5 out there and pick each panel. We saw it happen in the 2022 title game:

More importantly, this doesn't happen if the Knicks just let the Garden be the Garden. No more alternate court or jerseys or anything else. I want the regular white Knicks jerseys at home with the regular MSG court. That and just win game 6. Win game 6 and none of this matters right now. The lack of energy after halftime, the bad showings, whatever, get out of the series in 6 and move on. That and get Brunson and Hart into bubbles before then.

Final ruling: Court is supposed to move, Brunson nearly shattered his ankle and any Pistons fan happy about it can suck my ass.
