So Bridges got benched a week ago in the 4th and now he is bitching about minutes hmmm!
Too late, should have been said two months ago. Trade may be coming for current high schoolers (future picks).
MIKAL BRIDGES IS WRONG FOR THIS! Take thibs to the side and have a man to man conversation! Why blow this up to make it drama, when you could’ve simply had a conversation?
I agree with you to a degree. However, I need you to also acknowledge that the player with the highest min per game (37.8 mpg) please four minutes more per game than the 50th person on that list (33 mpg). Also, hearing him say this and watching the way he’s played this year we should’ve kept Devo and just made a deal for Julius and two of the picks we used to get it. 🤷🏽♂️ Confirmation bias all over this take
Even though Knicks universe agrees Thibs should play bench more, Mikal should not complain. Divo, Randle, IHart, RJ, IQ and other better players on Knicks than Mikal have never complained about minutes. Mikal for one is not living up to expectations and his minutes should be cut and come off the bench. Five 1st rd picks and he’s complaining about minutes distribution when he’s not even playing all star caliber production. Look for Thibs to send Bridges to bench and start someone else. Every time some one complains about their minutes they get traded or get sent to the bench- Grimes, Obi Toppin, etc. Mika needs to play better and 🤫 The other starters not even complaining about their minutes. Without a doubt everyone wants to see even distribution of minutes among the bench and starters. This is for Thibs to realize and if can’t see that then he should be gone at end of season. 6 years NYKs have never gone to ECF, NBA Finals or been top seed in EC. Need new voice and direction where this is not about just minutes distribution
Cwc- I'm with the min. Police too
It's obvious this is being discussed in the locker room, Mikal just had the heart to speak up…Thibs is tripping…smh…
Where do you get your Knicks caps bro? They be lookin 🔥
Tom and Malone(Nuggets) are the ONLY coaches in the league running their starters to the ground…smh…
Minutes deputy reporting for duty 😸. Been saying he should play the bench more and rest the starters…we can't afford any more injuries.
Yeah that not bringing cam back in that night was crazy, u can't teach a old dog new tricks, Tom better think about this
Too many Knick fans are clueless to the massive number of minutes the starters play.
No one saw IHart rising to the occasion n it only occurred from injury. W.o playing talented players, u can’t build confidence n chemistry
I am not going to lie thibs should be a defensive assistant coach.😂😂😂😂
Troy lmaoooooooooooo
Finally this goes back to last year n he wasn’t even on team ty Mb
This wasn't a call out bro that casts a bad light on what I'm sure was a healthy dialog between coach and player.
He don't need to say nothing. He is a waste of 5 first rounds picks
Big facts man, you spit facts on this one
Anyone who disagrees with Mikel is an absolute moron. You cant beat down your starters when their the ones playing 82 games and plays the last 5 mins in the game. Thibs can be a pain in the ass with his old ways He will get more out of his team with fresher legs this is not rocket science There is a price to pay for everything including high minutes will ruin your team
I am back! I haven't watched one second of ONE GAME since the O.G. Anunogbi injury! I knew this was going to happen! If T.T. doesn't change his operation of starter minutes then the knics wilk go no where! You ylunger fans, get it to your heads!
