I think he is fine.

Last game, he got to rest for a while. Mikal comes in the 4th quarter I think and Brunson immediately set him up for a middy

Mikal probably has the best mid-range game out of anyone in the series. It's going to come in handy in the playoffs when teams figure out how take away the paint and the three.


That's my issue. He has one of the best midrange games in the league. But he's just too passive. He's not aggressive at all at trying to get his shot.


But that's my general problem with the set-up of this team. We want JB, KAT, OG and Mikal to be aggressive. But realistically that is not going to happen. JB and KAT are our best offensive players----if both of them take 20+ shots, which they should and OG takes 15-18, then Mikal is going to have trouble getting much more than 10-12 really. There are not going to be enough shots.


some of them have to be paired up with the bench peeps - alot of people have been saying that for months now.
there is only one basketball and 4 starters looking to get theirs is just wayyyy tooo much to handle
thibs has to learn how to stagger the roster properly

What explosiveness !!

The season after he got traded to the Nets for KD, he was still fine, he was scoring 30+ In fact some people thought due to age he could be the piece better than KD himself

Something happened in the offseason after that season ended, cuz the following season he had a disappointing year averaging only 20ppg as Nets' #1 option.

He doesn't know the team on a personal level to know whether they're mentally soft

Either way, they aren't and they never were. They win games, they lose games, but they win more than they lose. They won plenty of games because of the fact they made intelligent decisions under pressure in the 4th quarter and over time.

Knicks would not have had the 5th best record in the entire NBA if they were mentally soft.

My understanding is that this person isn't representative of the majority of the fanbase. But considering how annoyingly chirpy some Detroit players are, I'm starting to think they listen to this guy. Only thing I agree on are yes, this team is soft to an extend, and yes, the series isn't over (Knicks in 5). Getting punched in the mouth and responding the way they did should put fear into Detroit.

We should give up some firsts for him, that's just my unbiased, completely fair opinion on the matter.
