Mikal has the worst +/- on the team through 6 games at -14. The team is 26 points (!) per 100 possessions worse with Bridges on the court.

And he's again worst on the team in this half (by far) at -16 in 18 minutes.

The lead completely evaporated when he came back.

So far, he has been by far the biggest issue on the team. He's providing close to nothing, particularly on defense and on the boards. He needs to wake up because he just looks soft tbh.

Play Deuce more. Everything just seems to click when he's out there. Well except for the last game.

Bill Simmons is right about Mikal Bridges, if you're going to give up 5 FRPs for him.. you need to feature him on the offensive end.

[quote="Worst_to_First"]JB should consider giving up the ball very early in the possession and wait to get the ball back and then attempt to score.[/quote}


Yeah when he gets trapped and blitzed at halfcourt he takes too long to dribble out of it
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Captain Brunson and his Daddy won't allow it.

Brunson thinks this is the playoffs where half the team is injured and he gets to chuck up every shot. We’re so dangerous when the ball is moving like when Kolek was in.

This version of Jalen it who Julius saved the Knicks from a few times last season before he got hurt. Similar to Julius, the offense needs to go through Karl-Anthony Towns and let everyone else on the court play through him.

What we're seeing now is Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen having their RJ and Julius moment, where the fans felt like they were fighting to see who would be the #1 option in the offense.

Jalen is still high off of what he did in the playoffs, but in the end in order for the team to succeed Karl-Anthony Towns will have to be the #1 option.

Sometimes I feel like Brunson needs to realize when he has a difficult matchup and not force it as much but I don't know what his role is in the offense if he isn't attacking.

Zaccarie averaged 8 a game. Leave it up to Knicks to leave him open to get him going.

brunson is in between everything in his being tells him to be a scorer...he's never really been a true distributor. So he doing way too much thinking.

When it was just his as the sole option he kinda knew it was on him to score...now that we have all these other options he is unsure when to get his and when to distribute

that seems like the biggest hurdle.

The defense needs to be better as well.

Our coach would never. It’ll be back to a steady diet of Payne and his esoteric style of basketball.
