Knicks to Hire Mike Brown as Next Head Coach

[Galvationknicks]

You make the change because Thibs made some horrendous coaching mistakes throughout the season and playoffs. We got as far as we did due to our immense talent and the Celtics shooting themselves out of the playoffs.

Ok well Mike brown went 13-18 and got fired. I wonder if any coaching mistakes took place there

All coaches make mistakes, but there are levels to mistakes. Do you not recall our record during the season to the top teams in the NBA? We couldn't win a game. Inexcusable! We got lucky with the Celtics. Their piss poor shooting and our huge deficit comebacks were miraculous. 99 times out of 100 we probably lose that series if the universe is in order. Brown is better than Thibs IMO.

Thibs end game management for the past 5 years always had me scratching my head

This is Fizdale all over again.

This team is going NOWHERE.

What a waste of Brunsons prime.

He's not as bad as fizdale, he's more like Mike Woodson

[MrDollarBills]

I'm gonna give MB a fair shot here. I at least know that our offense should be unstoppable. Everything else, I don't know.

Maybe he gets Karl to stop doing dumb sh*t. Maybe not. But he gets a clean slate from me starting now.

if true, they can repay us by sending over keon ellis

Keon probably doesn't want to come one guy Mike Brown didn't play enough for some reason

we moved off of our coach, due in no small part, for not playing the kids for another who also doesn't like playing the kids. great

They didn’t move off Thibs for not playing the kids. And that’s also a non issue with Brown because the Knicks have 10 rotation players without even factoring them into it.

I don’t think there’s any evidence that we moved off the coach for not playing the kids. That always seemed like a fan desire not an organizational one. And well this hire seems further proof of that.

I do hope if we have ones that work hard and flash real talent deserve to play get some kind of chance if it’s warranted

Jalen isolations for the entire 4th quarter and overtimes.

[Gravy]

Anyone coaching Lebron should get an asterisk next to those years.

Thibs had a team led by Randle most of the time here.

Does anyone know if Brown uses load management cause I hate that ****!

Yeah that’s fair. All we can do really. Let him cook and see what happens.

[MrDollarBills]

Brown would not be hired if he wasn't opening to working with the kids and in collaboration with the front office.

That doesn't mean all of the kids will play, but i doubt he glues serviceable players like Huk and Kolek to the bench for no reason either. And I doubt he runs a 7 man rotation.

Listening to Alan Hahn now

You honestly don't think that the FO had serious conversations with Brown about developing the bench and young players? They obviously feel confident that he's on the same page with them.

[dadanyk]

Hopefully he gets to add defensive minded coach; before he got fired the 31 games that he coached the kings were giving up an average of 114 pts per game.

[FrozenEnvelope]

I think those who expect Brown to run 11 deep and play Kolek, Dadiet and Huk are going to be disappointed.

The Knicks only have one guy under 23 on the roster and he'd be the 12th man under any coach.

hmm maybe not playing the kids but thought i heard something about not utilizing his bench enough until the playoffs?

Read on Twitter

This guy will last 16 months at best..

REMEMBER LAST SEASON..

Mr no adjustments

Mike Brown on Jalen Brunson: "Man, he's a helluva player. I don't know if—Steph maybe—we blitzed anybody as much as we did Jalen…& he still scored 42…Jalen shot 50% from the 3 & over 50% from the field, & we sent the double team at him every single time he came off the pick & roll in the 2nd half"

JB was in God mode during that game. You can't guard God mode, and Jalen said not tonight. You just tip your hat to those types of game. The statement by brown is saying he threw the defensive book at him and it didn't work. How is that not an adjustment?

idk this is a guy that would bench keon ellis and give him straight DNPs after making mistakes on the court. it doesn't seem implausible

That's not happening but atleast if we up 20 with 4 mins left we wont see any starters in the game
