Why can't the Knicks figure out the Pacers?

Why are New York Knicks fans so frustrated with Mikal Bridges?

On JJ & Sal, John Jastremski and Sal Licata discuss the criticism surrounding Mikal Bridges and whether Knicks fans are overlooking everything he brings to the championship-winning roster.

Despite some frustrating offensive performances, JJ and Sal argue that Bridges remains one of the most important players on the team because of his defense, versatility, and ability to deliver when the games matter most.

The conversation also turns to the future of the Knicks' starting five. Could Bridges or Josh Hart eventually be the first player from this beloved core to leave New York?

Is Mikal Bridges being unfairly criticized, or should Knicks fans expect more from him?
