Bridges is 100% correct!!!…. Can't disagree as we watch our main players get injured due to extreme wear and tear. Gotta have faith in your whole roster and rotation.. Popavich did…
I agree but he needs to be more consistent we gave up a lot for him and he is not performing
All facts!!! Thibbs ruined a few careers with his mentality.
I just hope that if Thibs plays the bench more at the expense of losing a few games, you people don’t cry then, because the coach cannot win… What bench do we have Bro, McBride? Who else? And Bridges should talk, he sucks…
I agree, but had he not played the starters so many minutes we might not have as many wins as we have. It's hard to justify
I’m so happy that Mikal did the right thing. It’s the reason a lot of players get injured. Speaking up for the bench was a fantastic. That’s team leadership. That was great what Harris did.
When I see players getting injured I get mad at the coach and have confidence in your bench how you want to win if you don't have confidence in your bench players. Sorry to say ur I think they not going to win under thibs
You watch Bridges won’t get any minutes or a lot less bur sure proud he stood up to him !
So the "minutes police" weren't crazy, I been screaming this all year. Just because someone can play 40 minutes, doesn't mean they should play 40 minutes. Especially when u have a capable bench, and other great teams limit their starter minutes to around 35 per game
100 percent agree. I think anyone who disagrees is only disagreeing because they have too much of an ego to switch stances on things. Fresher legs lead to better play its pretty much common sense.
If he’d started the season playing the bench more minutes they would have improved, you can’t improve without playing time Simple’s as that !
Love all your videos bro, thank you for always keeping us updated as a Knicks fan🙏🏼 This is the content we need to hear
I've been saying this from day one… rotate some bench players with the A team…
He outta here next season anyways🤷🏾♂️
The Thibs lovers will explain this away 😂🤣 in their mind Thibs can do no wrong. Everybody else is crazy.
Free bueachamp 😄🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I remember a few games ago, he kept the bench in, in the second half and when we lost, a lot of you cried that he left the starters out too long, so tell me what is it? 🤷🏻♂️
WHAT IS WITH THESE NOVA GUYS THEY COME HERE RUNNING THEIR MOUTH
Agreed 👍🏽 🤝
Yes I agree with bridges 100 percent and if thibs don’t do it we need a new head coach
Tom, doesnt like hear "Constructive feed back from players". He has ..and never will play his bench for then 12 minutes, maybe! Tom is a arcatoic in his coaching style . It will less injuries too. I do not think Bridges stay with us. " He doesn't look happy out there on the floor. Tom needs go "lay down" somewhere".. Tom doesn't run plays for guys and NEVER DUMPS THE ROCK DOWN TO THE POST!!!😡😖
Like I have stated many times before. Mitch should have been traded for Joanes or Nick Richardson his production thus far is subpar at best he will not be that Mitch anymore. Bridges should be running with the second unit so he can play more ball in hand that is when he is at his best. He did it in Brooklyn and Phoenix and was all-star material. Moses Brown should have been on this squad weeks ago, but they add PJ Tucker Why!!! We are crippled when it comes to BIGS. Tibs needs to figure it out like yesterday.
Tom Stubborndo will never change.
Someone finally told that old Bastard to relax on the modern day slavery. Putting guys to work is okay. But riding them too much is insane
Mikal is definitely worth those 5 picks now 😁💪🏽
🚔 🚓 👮♂️ 🚨 😂😂😂
Play the bench thibs
I been calling out Thibs since we lost to the Heat in the playoffs, when we had Rose on the bench.
They are all men, he didn't say anything disrespectful. Just what was on his mind
Man to man
Tibbs might feel the pulse of this team
I am Thibs fan. I agree he is killing the players,fans and the team.
What the minutes police critics have to say now?
Bridges is 100% correct. McBride, Achuiwa, Payne, & Shamet have been playing very well the last 2 months. Achuiwa on D, Payne on O, Shamet on D and lately on O too. McBride is the 1st sub who can also start. Troy you’re also right.
I’m congratulating him for calling out the head coach. Bravo 👏🏽
Fire THIBS
Especially with injury prone players like OG and also Brunson takes a lot of contact between that and the minutes Brunson gonna be done before players
Now we just have to wait and see how Thibs responds..all this talking is great and I'm ecstatic that Mikal did this but will the coach listen? I hope he does because it would probably take this team to another level✌️✌️✌️✌️let's go Knicks
Only thing I disagree with you here is bridges being a star because he has not played like it but he needs to with Brunson out
The only way to compete would be to use bench more
Hopefully the others will also talk to Tom. … why not and say we agree we need help
Even tho its Facts. They need to play less mins .. this might be just the beginning of either Bridges or Thibs exit
