New York Knicks owner, James Dolan, recent victim of Pablo Torre’s quest to be banned from every sports arena. Dolan found using should-be-illegal facial recognition technology to watch people around Madison Square Garden and The Sphere in Vegas.
The bigot spied on a trans woman who frequented Knicks games for 2 years straight, writing up a fucking “dossier” on this woman, claiming he wanted to “keep them away from the players.”
Dolan tracked her every single step, knew which escalator she used, her every human interaction and timed how long she’d stay in bathrooms.
No one on planet Earth cares more about trans people than those driven to mania, convincing themselves trans people are the end of days, when all the compiled footage simply shows this trans woman was a regular ass person who loved the Knicks just like James Dolan.
This is your boss, Mikal.
He’s watching his loyal customers pee. You really think you can go out there in a Game 3 playing like Kash Patel drunk drive through your kitchen to arrest you on gambling charges.
Mikal Bridges scored 0 points in 21 minutes.
Hawks won 109-108.
The Knicks would be up 2-1, celebrating, if only Mikal scored one field goal.
He scored zero (0).
Bridges went 0-for-3 with 2 assists, 1 rebound and 4 turnovers, a game-worst -21.
Let’s not forget Bridges did nothing in the second half of the Knicks Game 2 loss. He went scoreless when the Knicks desperately needed someone to score a bucket.
All the extra cig breaks and texting on the job are over.
Mikal Bridges, with all eyes on him, wants to disappear.
So he did.
Mike Brown benched Bridges in the third, only to bring him back for the Hawks final offensive possession.
The Hawks scored.
Of course they did.
Mikal Bridges was on the floor.
What’s wrong with Mikal Bridges?
Perhaps this is simply a matchup issue.
Miles McBride makes more sense out there with Brunson, handling the CJ McCollum assignment, applying real ball pressure, then hitting open threes on the other end.
Jalen Brunson may be stuck on Nickeil Alexander-Walker but so be it. Cute regular season and all but the playoffs are different.
NAW scored 14 points on 4-for-12 shooting from the field.
The Brunson matchup kinda works.
And on the other end, the Hawks have too many big forwards who push Mikal around.
Bridges doesn’t want to be touched.
He is not the first potential Hall of Fame wide receiver to quit the sport after one padded practice.
Jalen Johnson, Jonathan Kuminga, Dyson Daniels and Nickiel Alexander-Walker have Bridges in hell.
But I think it’s more than that…
When the Knicks team chemistry is under scutiny and the question’s then asked, “Who’s the guy causing the problems?” we all know it’s Mikal now.
Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby showed up to Game 3 on the road. KAT with 21 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks. OG with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Mikal Bridges isn’t doing shit.
All Mikal’s skills hypothetical. He’s a great on-ball defender, allegedly. A secondary ball handler, theoretically.
Why doesn’t Mikal grab a defensive rebound and lead the transition offense himself? Ever?
He and Josh Hart get the ball at the beginning of a shot clock and they cannot wait to give that ball back to Brunson. They don’t even consider other options.
We’re all watching you, Mikal.
Once Dolan is done combing through all the nasty hidden camera bathroom footage he’s sorting into his “save for later” folder, he’s going to notice his $133 million investment stealing company time.
The Knicks are better than the Atlanta Hawks.
It’s Knicks in 6 now, whether Mikal Bridges wants to participate or not.
