Mikal Bridges has shot 9/31 over the last four games. That’s 29%. It’s also 7.75 shots per game.

Didn’t I say he has to be more efficient also? In fact I said it twice inside the same post.

It’s also Towns stepping up. And if Mikal gets back to a volume where he’s scoring close to 20 per game, someone else will be scoring less and people will be whining about that.

It may come down to that home game vs Boston in April.

FYI, on the season he’s shooting 49% and ~38% from three. And he’s averaging over 12 shots a game. 7.75 is just effing weird.

It’s really not weid at all. There is a significant player FGA variance for non ball handlers in this offense.

He’s also shot 3/14 from three in those last four games. That’s 21%.

That’s not “Towns taking his shots.” That’s invisible and ineffective.

And I LIKE Mikal Bridges.

Start Clarkson over Bridges. See if he actually has a reaction.

Well, I would die of laughter. 😉

78 point second half? Hard to see that coming.

It’s the common playbook for tanking teams. They try to play well in first half and ideally get to 100 first. Then they stop getting back on defense. Go back to that 4th quarter and see how many wide open transition threes and layups we score. After every miss we somehow had a transition layup.

Next two weeks it’s going to be much of the same. There is nothing we can learn from these games. The only purpose they exist is to pay bills. Just get a W and don’t get hurt. Start resting JB and lower Mikal’s minutes for god sake.

Oh…there is a non zero chance that one night the Knicks are complete shit and someone accidentally wins a game they were trying to loose.

I love them both.

Because games against the Knicks are the only ones they wanna actually win.
