This is such a silly argument if you think Thibs was a good coach
Hiring another Thibs should be a good thing

false...why would they hire a guy for his offense only to want to get Borrego who is a offensive mind as the associate HC. Not rocket science.
connect the dots.
We want Borrego because Brown said its important to have him on staff, according to Begley.
Why would the Knicks FO, the most successful FO we've had in a quarter century, think Brown is an offensive wiz if Brown himself doesn't think so?
Shams is just editorializing here, not reporting.
Saying it’s important to have him on the staff doesn’t mean that brown thinks he can’t coach an offense himself. That’s a stretch.

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

He had Jordan and Kobe. Remember when he tried to bring his system here?
Like I said are we asterisking his rings?
Spo as well, Pat the rat too?
Spo made the finals without Lebron and Rat without Magic, they are great. So far Brown has not made it past the 1st round without Lebron

Does this mean that we don't get to see Kat, OG and Brunson on the floor with 3 minutes left while we're up 20?

Re: Knicks to Hire Mike Brown as Next Head Coach
From the Athletic:
After a lengthy public process, New York views Brown as the coach to help the Knicks build on this season’s trip to the Eastern Conference finals, the franchise’s first in 25 years. New York fired Tom Thibodeau just days after that playoff run ended.
The 55-year-old Brown, who was fired by the Kings after 31 games this season, has a career head coaching regular season record of 454-304, split between his previous employers, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.
Brown played a big part in bringing the Kings back to relevancy, as the franchise posted back-to-back 45-plus-win seasons under his watch for the first time since 2005. Sacramento ended a 16-year playoff drought in Brown’s first season.
The Kings had the NBA’s top-ranked offense in Brown’s first season. However, the team ranked 24th defensively in that same year. In Brown’s second season on the sideline, Sacramento had the 13th-ranked offense and 14th-ranked defense.

Knicks need to follow pacers model, first half deep rotation, give minutes to everyone, let players grow and show what they can do, keep starters fresh, second half start cooking, reduce the rotation and go into the playoffs on top form. Pacers showed that being able to keep the intensity and pressure can overcome home court advantage and better players.

of course not, no one from the knicks talks directly to shams he doesn't have those connects with us.
If they were going to hire someone with experience they probably brought in Nori for the same reason...to pick his brain about probably the offense and being a lead assistant like Borrego.
The Knicks FO isn't dumb and Mike Brown isn't naive to know what he's good at. If he's suggesting he thinks an offensive guru is important to add to the staff than its pretty simple to understand what Brown feels his strengths and weaknesses are. He had an assoc HC in Sacramento who got hired by Nets for his offensive acumen.

Thinking the Knicks FO doesn't know what Mike Brown's strengths and weaknesses are after he's been a coach for 20 years and is personally asking for an offensive minded lead assistant is a much bigger stretch

Shams has no inside Knicks sources, just like Woj didn't before him, which is why people need to understand when they are reporting vs just being a talking head.

So asking for an assistant that’s in demand around the nba means he’s telling the FO he can’t coach an offense? You think that’s what he told them in the interview?

now thats shams is with ESPN, he has to fill a lot of airspace to warrant how much they are paying him to be there insider.

Mike Brown on Keegan Murray not taking an open shot when a guy goes under.
“Whoah whoah whoah if another man disrespect you and go under Anything you better shoot it. And if you don’t, you coming out the game”
