“The Knicks are back!” Six-time NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire said those words after signing a massive five-year, $99.7 million contract with New York in June, 2010.

It’s safe to say Mikal Bridges was plenty frustrated Tuesday night simply by the Brooklyn Nets falling 119-107 to the Dallas Mavericks, pushing his team’s disappointing record back to 10 games below .500.
