Good point!! Imagine: the “throw-in” player that no one thought would get any playing time has really turned into a dependable effort guy who filled the gaps when needed last year and has become a staple and a spark on this team. He’s a keeper. And he’s still young!!
Brunson is one of top catch and shoot scorers in the league. I want to see the Knicks run the offense through Mikal a little bit because I have seen him find Jalen on the wing and corner three point line for some easy buckets.
The Knicks whole gameplan is move without the ball and take the shot when you get the ball and rebound ,movement on defense ,backdoor plays screens and movement, the ball is in motion all the time.
The truth is he isn't a true #1, but he's a damn good player and there are a lot of excellent players around him. It was always about him getting comfortable with his teammates. Even his defense, which fell off in Brooklyn, has shown improvement, because he doesn't need to be the lead option AND the lead shut down guy (KAT/Brunson got the offense, and OG got the D).
I personally think Thibs should experiment with a matchup zone type of defense. With their wingspans, Bridges, OG, and Precious could thrive in that defense. But maybe that's just me.
How many times fanbases has came at us and now look stupid? : -Toronto fans telling us we got fleece with the OG trade then in less than 30 days, they got shut up real fast - Then the Brooklyn Nets saying we got fleece and now look at us, Mikail Bridges hopefully potential All-Star - now the Timberwolves fans were different. Some say we got Free some Dayton but for the ones that did say we got fleece now they look stupid and they’re miserable with the state of their team is in.
He was essentially being ignored for the first couple of weeks into the season but now since they're looking for him and getting him the ball things are looking up. I would still love to see him be more aggressive and take to the basket like OG does instead of settling for jump shots .
9:25 Bridges is definitely what we needed come on it takes a minute to get adjusted but now you see he is a great defender and an awesome catch and shoot scorer also he has a winning pedigree if and when Mitchell Robinson comes back this conversation will be like it was never a matter of contention.
i think knicks needed to adjust to the fact that hes more talented on offense than a stand behind the 3 point line and shoot it type guy. also, they've realized hes not the same type of defender he was in phoenix but still solid and his growth in offense is helping him put more energy on the defense side. to go from the main guy at a team to a number 4 guy takes some time. remember the adjustment LJ, chris childs, houston, sprewell, etc all had to make when they first came to the knicks? it also helps that kat is a selfless player. .if randle was on this team it would have sucked for bridges i think
'Lied to' by fans with zero understanding of Mikal's game. Anyone who paid attention to Mikal (go talk to any Phoenix Suns fan) knows the value he brings. When he was traded to the Nets he was averaging 26 ppg. He basically does everything well = a multi dimensional player. The only thing he couldn't do was carry a team for a full season like a legit super star. The Knicks don't need him to be that guy
Bridges have been stomping mud holes in people his whole career. Only thing is that he's trying to change his shot which is messing him up. So I never doubted him. He's played every game his whole basketball career., how many players can say that??? I don't understand why people say the team last year was better because the Knicks this year's record is two games higher than last year's record at this time. And they lost 30 games with Divincenzo last year.
The major change in mikals game is. He just loosing up on dat jump shot. And I'm so happy he did. That. Cuz his jump shot was stiff. And dats understandable.and it's still not where it needs to be. But he shooting good. But what's crazy is he could shoot better. I'm telling y'all mikals nice.
No Jalen Brunson is taking the same amount of shots as he did last year he's just missing a lot of them. That's why he's not scoring like he did last year.
I was right about og he not max player doesn’t show up at all only once n blue moon he looks like Kobe when he lock in but most times he poor man Dorian finney smith
Please the guy is clearly overrated. You guys hyping this guy up when he hasn’t played to the level he is EXPECTED to play. Definitely not worth the 5 No. we gave up, Sorry
Haha...you seem hurt. We good giving up those picks. They will all fall between 20 - 30. Do a little research. Why is nets no celebrating winning a lottery.
@@lastdragon820 I said IF , stop being so butthurt......who have the Knicks drafted in the past 20 years in the 1st round thats been worth anything anyways ? All of those picks will be in the bottom of the round anyways.

I think the turn really happened when Achuwa came back.. since Achuwa came back everyone is comfortable
Absolutely correct. Beat me to this statement
Yeahh he was definitely the hidden gem from last year
Good point!! Imagine: the “throw-in” player that no one thought would get any playing time has really turned into a dependable effort guy who filled the gaps when needed last year and has become a staple and a spark on this team. He’s a keeper. And he’s still young!!

Crazy is just 3 weeks ago some idiots were saying bench him
Knick fans smh
@ if u ain’t one go head and get up outta here 🟠🔵🟠🔵
Bridges was just 2nd guessing his moves too much. Once he started just naturally balling.. no issues. He has the skills & talent.
Chris you are so right Bridges is balling he is playing the best basketball lately. GO KNICKS
The Knicks whole gameplan is move without the ball and take the shot when you get the ball and rebound ,movement on defense ,backdoor plays screens and movement, the ball is in motion all the time.
As a Cavs fan Mikal is the one guy i have wanted on this team for years, Knicks made outstanding moves this off season and a really fun team to watch!
Chris happy holidays to you and your family. GO KNICKS
If anyone knows anything about bball . It’s a team sport. It’s about chemistry, flow and time with teammates.
He's had 4 good games and your already ready to definitely say he was worth 5 first round picks 😂😂
Don’t tell Knicks fans that lol
So lets forget he once averaged 27 points per game per year
@@wyclefwyclef3862 for less than 40 hands bro. Don’t leave out the context of his stats

It was flipping cold af outside today. Stay warm my dude🥶

Finally Mikal is playing up to his potential this is what we wanted

Yes and the Knicks are a very dangerous team, watch out NBA.😂
Need the new coach to be better

Rough starts in new roles witj new teams aren't too uncommon. Everybody that knows his game knows he's a great support player.
His the sane guys he’s always been. Fans , since they can’t do, hate✔️
To his credit; MB has been balling out the past couple of weeks.. Still was a ridiculous amount of assets to give up
He/they just had to figure it out! Thats it n thats all. Us knicks fans just get so impatient all the time.
Once Mikal figures out how to defend the swing dribble of some players he is lockdown 🛰️
If this brings NY a championship it will be totally worth it. If it doesn't it will be seen as a fail
He’s just a hooper man just had to get comfortable with the squad

Who started the rumor that Bridges would be cohosting this channel? I was lied to!
Mikals playing good. But this. Is not his best basketball. Did you see him on da nets. Not last year but da year b4
Exactly...he's playing his best basketball as a Knick over the past couple of weeks
Thibs is not a good coach for the Knicks let him get us to the ECF and we’ll see if he is a good coach for the Knicks
He Definitely is a team player n scorer but JB have a pass to him more n watch him cook
