Thibs issue is he rely too much on switching. When Mikal was 2nd runner up for DPOY he was a man to man defender.
MAYBE WE GOT THE WRONG MIKAL BRIDGES. LET'S SWAP 😅😅
Poor Shooter,Mid defender,Poor Rebounder this guy has empty stats sheet if he cannot score
Thank you for FINALLY having the tough conversations!!! I love JD!! Broke the Mikal and Knicks issues all the way down!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
JUST BENCH MIKAL BRIDGES LIKE IN THE 90'S AND MAKE A PLAYER EARN THAT SPOT. BUT HE WILL BE A BEAST IN THE LAST PART OF THE REGULAR SEASON THEN IF HE DOESN'T GET INJURED, A SUBPAR IN THE POSTSEASON. HE'S OUT. DON'T THINK THAT THE KNICKS ARE STUCK WITH THE NO SHOW, A BAD APPLE IN THE BIG APPLE M THINK AGAIN.
CAN'T STOP CHATTING WITH YOU GUYS A VERY GREAT AND POSITIVE DISCUSSION. I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY ABOUT THE RETURN OF MR. HE MIGHT BE THE PUZZLE PIECE. MIKAL BRIDGES MIGHT FEEL TOO MUCH PRESSURE IN THE STARTING LINEUP BUT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA BUT FOR ME IT'S SHOW ME WHY YOU DESERVE TO BE A STARTER.
The Knicks have a lot of problems right now. Their main problem is they have no identity. They lost their grit and, toughness they had a season ago. Besides Brunson and, Hart the Knicks don’t have any dawgs who bring 100 percent every night on both ends. Two the Knicks have a time problem. You would love to say just run it back but, the issue with that is Mikal Bridges and, Mitchell Robinson are on expiring deals after this season so, if things don’t improve in the postseason you have to look to move them to get pieces. Three the Knicks have not got the production out of their wing tandem they thought they were going to get. In big time games teams are picking on Mikal Bridges. Four Thibs won’t give the rookies any time. It is no reason why Hukporti is not getting minutes and, based on what Shamet has done all year Diadet should get a look in the rotation. 4 Thibs doesn’t adjust well on both ends. On defense the continue to play drop even though that doesn’t work against the good teams in the east and, offensively it’s Brunson iso or DHO or, KAT driving and, if that doesn’t work they swing. They don’t put enough pressure on the opposing defenses with pick and, roll action and, back door cuts. The roster the Knicks have has serious issues. It is only person the Knicks have who can create for himself or others and, that’s Brunson. If I was the Knicks and, things don’t work out in the postseason I would take a serious look at the moves I made and, how the roster was constructed and, ask myself did I make the right moves. The Knicks have to find a way to add toughness, grit and, bench help.
YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST,MOST IN DEPTH DISCUSSION ABOUT THE KNICKS AND THE ENTIRE NBA WORLD. I WISH THAT I COULD MAKE THIBS LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST AND SUBSCRIBE. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM TO LISTEN AND WATCH ON SURROUND SOUND AND THE SCREEN IS 90 INCHES
Thibbs need to either: start Bridges & take him our early like he did RJ Barrett, so he can play with the bench players or just bring him off the bench to give him more shots.
TUESDAY VS THE PHILLY 76ERS AND FRIDAY VS THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES
FANS NBA IS NEVER A DYNASTY ANYMORE. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE CAV'S WOULD BE THE NUMBER ONE SEED. WE BEAT THEM LAST SEASON IN THE FIRST ROUND. . BUT IF LUKA CAN GET SWAPPED FOR AD , NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THE NBA WORLD NOW. LEON POKER FACE ROSE IS NOT DONE TUNE IN NEXT SEASON
NOT ME MIKAL BRIDGES IS SUSPECT UNTIL I SEE HIM BRING HIS "A", GAME. IF YOU WEAR THE KNICKS JERSEY BRING YOUR "A"GAME OR SIT DOWN TO BE SET DOWN PERIOD
No, they have a Brunson problem. Who dribbles the ball Til The air comes out and let's a defense set up. While Mikel rots in the corner waiting to watch Brunson, take a jump shot contested. You're never going to beat quality teams with isoball, and you lose your other players yesterday. Bridges took seven shots because that was one of the few times that brunson would pass the ball
Can we please stop with all of the negativity. We lost 2 games back to back against 2 elite teams. Bottom line is those teams are just better than we are right now. We're a very good team but i think we may need to tinker with the roster bit specifically the bench in order to be more competitive against Boston, Okc and The Cavs.
No the Knicks have the same problem every "Assemble the Avengers" team has when you try and put all of them on the floor together.
In order for guys to get in the flow they have to know everything is with them including their willingness to take over a a game.
The more guys you have on the court with the ability to do that the more the roles become muddled.
This is the very definition of chemistry. It's a deeper layer than fans are used to because expectations are higher. The knicks are not done yet. They just need to figure out leadership roles in certain situations.
Bench Mikal. Start Deuce and Mitch when he's ready. Cleveland starts 2 PGs and 2 centers as well, to make up for the size difference.
Dex you from Grenada?
Great takes and conversation with JD
Str8 up this dude bridges Drug store Cotton
No one won the NYK- WOLVES Trade, both teams got weaker. Before the trades, the NYK owned the Cavs & Celtics during the regular season & #2 in the East & the WOLVES #1 in the West but now??? If you're a bean counter you look at individual stats but in terms of pure basketball, you look at TEAM results. Remember some of those NYK fans talking all that bleep about Mitchell Robinson? These same bean counters wanted to run him out of town 🤔
You guys keep talking about the Kat trade .. the only bad moves were Mikal Bridges trade and giving a non offensive player 212m … OG’s defense is not even looking elite against better players… We got duped by nets and OG .. dudes are either in their feelings or just lazy .. disrespectful yo the Orange and Blue
Mitchell Robinson makes the knicks insanely easier to defend for the Celtics
@JD SportsTalkNY your point is well taken about Bridges’ like a toughness and, confidence being low. I think that he can definitely come back from this. I remember when Allan Houston first came to the Knicks from Detroit. He had a similar problem. However, through coaching support and his teammates support he overcame that and became one of the great Knicks in history IMO.
Mitchell Robinson, David Robinson, Mrs. Robinsons neighborhood….CAVS in 5 🖐️
Mitchell “when he comes back” Robinson
Leon Rose is responsible for the disastrous trade to bring Mikal with ridiculous 5 picks
