Knicks News: Mikal Bridges Puts Josh Hart’s “Undefeated” Streak at Stake, Makes Bold Promise to NY Fans

Leaving the Brooklyn Nets umbrella, Mikal Bridges is now one of the Knickerbockers. It can be hilarious at times to realize he’d be rivals with his former team in the upcoming season. This simply means Bridges’ loyalty now lies solely with the Knicks. Therefore, the 28YO will have some commitments to Tom Thibodeau’s squad.

But, did Mikal Bridges just make the biggest promises to New York? Well, he’s committing himself to all the games he’ll be playing for the Knicks, especially against Brooklyn. So, what’s going on? The Roommates Show organized their recent episode live from Central Park. Thousands of New Yorkers huddled up to see their favorites- Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart. While the conversation was heading towards Bridges’ early exit due to prior commitments, Hart asked him to make a promise.

Josh Hart said, “Since I got traded to New York, I haven’t lost to Brooklyn. So can we just make sure we keep that up, bro? I haven’t lost once, I’m undefeated. Can we keep that up bro, please?” Well, if you thought the answer from Mikal Bridges would’ve been a simple yes, you’re wrong, as he replied: “Well I’m going to get out there and try to win every game we can, Josh against any team.” It looks like Bridges is focusing beyond the Nets. This, in a way, is great indeed, after all winning against all teams would only facilitate their title dreams.

Therefore, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Mikal Bridges has adapted himself to the orange and blue outfit! Surely, he’ll play a crucial role in helping the Knicks and teammate Jalen Brunson in winning more games. The efforts will make the fans happy and could also open the path for a third silverware, who knows?

Mikal Bridges could prove to be the perfect replacement for Isaiah Hartenstein

This season NYC will miss Isaiah Hartenstein. The rim protector and complementary player to Jalen Brunson had played an important part for the Knicks. Despite this loss, NBA insider Zach Lowe argues that the trade for Mikal Bridges could mitigate some of Hartenstein’s impact. Lowe emphasizes that Bridges brings significant offensive talent and creativity, which could provide the New York Knicks with more options on the court, particularly in creating scoring opportunities.

Mikal Bridges as a secondary creator had brought success to his ex-team, the Brooklyn Nets. He displayed effective shooting, ball-handling, and shot-creation skills. This versatility could make it harder for opposing defenses to focus solely on Brunson, thereby enhancing the Knicks’ offensive dynamics. Additionally, the potential for Julius Randle to play center offers further opportunities for spacing and shooting, even if it compromises some defensive strengths.

Overall, there is a light of optimism surrounding Bridges’ first season on the Knicks’ roster. His versatility and depth of understanding of the game could become the cornerstones for building a stronger, undefeatable New York Knicks in the upcoming games.
