Steals are not necessarily a good indication of playing good defense.

No, but when someone specifically says that Mikal was brought in to play the passing lanes and get steals, it does shine light on that take.

It’s still strange to me when other teams are more dysfunctional than we are.. Aughts PTSD still strong n me.

And Bridges isn’t terrible, he just isn’t as good as we need him to be.

If bleeping up one instance should be a firing offense…. the Knick’s medical team has the 9 lives of a cat.

We have a new medical team, it’s the Mavs old one

But I just want you guys to know the last 2 games I went to were the OkC blowout and the Celtics ass kicking

So if you wanna start a Go Fund Me to stop me from attending I’ll go watch it at a bar (-:

DERECK LIVELY II, a 21-year-old center who projects as a long-term cornerstone, was listed as questionable on Jan. 20 because of a right ankle sprain after sitting out the previous two games. Under Belton’s supervision, Lively went through an intense return-to-play workout before sitting out again that night.

The plan was for Lively to play at home two nights later against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

But Bilsborough had concerns, prompting him to send Lively for a CT scan. It revealed a stress fracture in his right ankle that sidelined the center for the next 2½ months.

“Somebody should be fired for that,” a team source said then.

If bleeping up one instance should be a firing offense…. the Knick’s medical team has the 9 lives of a cat.

The uptick in his play coincided completely with the absence of Brunson and ceased immediately upon Brunson’s return.

That’s perhaps the worst indictment of this trade. It’s not just the value that was terrible, the fit also sucks.

Brunson and Bridges worked just fine at Villanova and won 2 National Titles. It seems to me the issue is the head coach has no idea how to put all the pieces together.
