Maybe the Kevin Durant we were looking for was the Mikal Bridges we found along the way. 😭😭😭

Ya that’s a dumb comment…he’s spent the last two months in Phoenix gaining the confidence and reps to have a game like this

He's not the first person to be paid to say dumb shit in the media. He plays the role perfectly.

Maybe all that was needed to get the most out of two "best friends" was to separate them?

Bridges was always my deal breaker. But this is Bridges playing on virtually a new team as a number one. We were watching him become Scottie this year. Makes sense. I am happy for him. If we win a championship, it will have been worth it.

I’ve been watching all the Nets games too. Glad to see Coach Vaughn realizing his best bet at winning is to play the twins and to let Mikal run the offense over dinwiddie.

I’m glad you guys started talking about the game. I recorded the last quarter and three minutes. I got to see Brooklyn fall in love with Bridges. Of course Ian Eagle is calling him Brooklyn Bridges. Johnson also had a good game and hit some big shots including a beautiful circus shot. One slo mo view had Jimmy Butler watching from the Heat bench with his jaw hanging open in amazement.

Kendrick Perkins is crazy. Mikal might not have another performance like that till next season. Durant might do that a couple times for the rest of the season and maybe four more times in the playoffs.

There is a difference.

It both pains me and feels me with joy watching Bridges play amazing last night. Those highlights and those numbers are phenomenal. The reality is, he never would have been able to become the star I think he will become in Brooklyn had he stayed here. It just wouldn't work with Booker. So bittersweet. Will always have love for Mikal.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Well I don't think his point was that Mikal is equal to Durant. He was just saying that Phoenix was holding him back (which is nonsense).

I can understand wanting to believe this; I just don't understand what it is exactly based on.

Mikal was headed towards being a legitimate on ball option for us. He’s gone from the top tier of 3&D guys to now entering Jerami Grant/Khris Middleton territory. Love that for him…it is hard to see him continue that elsewhere. We need KD to start playing so we feel better haha

One thought I had is that if Mikal had done this a few times in a Suns uniform, we may have been able to make the trade without including Cam.

That would've been more reasonable if Mikal started doing this in November. It's just timing. Shit happens.

I love the guy and I'm so damn glad that he's playing in the Eastern conference.
