Knicks to Hire Mike Brown as Next Head Coach

[Jalen Bluntson]

U know that people can go back and read the thread right?

Go back and do it then. Just don't lie amd keep derailing the thread when you respond. I made myself clear and you people don't use the points being made as the basis for these ridiculous back and forth.

The resume of Mike Brown that matters in relevance to THIS job is what happened in SAC. NOTHING else needs to be discussed. Period. All the fluff of asst coach championships that date back decades are irrelevant. The team records with HOF/GOAT level players are irrelevant in regards to THIS JOB. He doesn't have any here. He has a roster that may be better than SAC but, it's at least along the same lines. So that was a two year and three months gig. That's where I am looking for who he is as a HC. It's the only RELEVANT part of his resume that matters right now.

Where's the lie? How do you destroy that? You didn't. Thanks for playing. Go roast marshmallows with Stuporman and rub weiners!

Bye now.

U are the only one derailing this thread... u are the one ignoring people that address and destroy your arguments and keep posting the same crap and asking ppl to address your arguments and now keeps derailing the thread by making stuff up and trying to act like a victim.

Go away. You can't destroy an argument I'm not having. You haven't attempted to either. Now figure out what's gonna happen next when you continue to follow me around lying.

i'm going to run out of blue. i just know it. -JVG

Very interesting Folkssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Essentially the FO is emphasizing exactly the same things fans have pointed to. Longer rotations, better substitutions, young player development......


I still to this day do not understand why Thibs never even attempted to start a different line-up with Hart coming off the bench. It would have improved our faltering starting line-up AND the bench. It seemed so nonsensical and stubborn to not even give it a try. Especially since our positioning was already pretty clear.....

This place is possibly the most negative sports forum I've ever seen. I completely understand weighing out the pros and cons in players and coaches, but the constant systematic trashing of these guys before they've even played or coached a game here is completely unwarranted. It just feels like the forum is being taken over by people with pure pessimism and anger. I'm always down for a good back and forth but it's gotten so bad that I find myself trying to avoid coming to the site and reading the comments. The mods have tightened up on the personal attacks, but it feels even more toxic now for some reason. I used to wonder why outsiders would trash the Knicks fanbase, but I'm beginning to understand why. Can't we just support our squad and save the extreme criticism for when they actually do something wrong, instead of assuming that everything is definitively going to hell?

good example of a hamsterdam/community thread-appropriate observation. -JVG

[Charlie Sollers]

Between Mike Brown and Rick Brunson, you guys have one of the deepest coaching staffs.

oh brother not coming back into this thread until the crying is done

I'm with you. I tried reading through the last several pages and now I want the last 15 minutes of life back. Way too much overthinking and crashing out over a decision none of us can control.

don't add to it this way. -JVG

That line right there...One of the KEY areas in leadership that an aspiring leader needs to understand.

That's the true meaning of collaboration - others can give us what we'd never be able to do on our own. It doens't mean being a patsy for Leon, WWW, and James.

without a doubt Bklutch!
what I want to know is what would be the true meaning of this for us:

If we have a good associate coach to take over the game, I'm going to love seeing Mike protecting his guys with all he's got. Stir them up, and light a fire under KAT's butt!

And here is where it gets twisted. If you're talking about me, I never crashed out over the decision. Apparently you can't question anything around here without being attacked and having your words and points twisted. Then portrayed as a problem when you have to correct the BS.

I'll just take extreme sides from now on and be a part of both echo chambers. Better yet. I'll be the Homer version of Buzz.

Mike Brown is an impeccable coach. Without question probably the best HC we've had in 50 years.

Really love the Micheal Jordan Clarkson signing. Dude was being held back by 7 different HC and is gonna be the best bench o,auer we've ever had.

Yabusele ceiling is LeBron crossed with AD.

CHAMPIONSHIP!

jesus, help. -JVG

Yep, unfortunately seems to happen with any forums after a while- most of the tv show or music forums I used to visit went the same way- negative people posting religiously about how everything is bad, constantly- it's so tedious, eventually drives everyone who enjoys the team/tv show/ music (and wants to share that with other people) away.

Fortunately there are some good Knick discords out there!

good insights and recommendations for hamsterdam/community thread. -JVG

In the clip of him going after the refs, I was watching that as Raptor fan. I remember thinking he was overreacting a bit but I respected the fire.

Watching the clip I noticed Jordi Fernandez and Jay Triano holding him back and it hit me he had two assistants who coached Team Canada. Speaking of FIBA, Brown was coach of the 2020 Nigeria Olympic team, in 2021. I remember he was trying to get OG to play but OG chose not to. But I saw OG and Brown hug after that, next time Raptors played SAC, so no hard feelings. It's good he has some international experience in FIBA ball

Whatever you do, you can't ask any relevant questions or have any valid concerns about anything. You either love it or you hate it but, don't engage in any sort of conversation that requires one to think critically about anything. Just pick a side and hammer away at your keyboard.

[F N 11]

I dont pick sides personally. I do run with things from time to time WITHOUT doing research I must admit. This was one of those times.
Browns resume is incredible. Like I said, growth doesnt have to stop. It stopped for Thibs. We will find out if Brown can get better today.
We will find out if Brown is going to push himself toward being greater. He has a unique group to work with. Can't wait to see him work.

When everything you read good about him is our weaknesses I had no choice but to say damn good choice. Whether his assistants helped out or not, we should be excited.

Exactly
I've found that its not only ok to realize you're wrong but it feels good when you admit it. As much as I wanted Bryant. Mike Brown brings experience
plus so much of what we didnt have and so much of what we need F N 11!

I think we all had that “ugh Mike Brown moment” I personally wanted a big name but like everything in life, you review and make a decision. I don’t always go all out like I did for Frank and RJ. But when I do for people like Thibs I was right.

[rajajackal]

i don't care what anyone's opinion is i just can't deal with the constant evoking of the rules and backseat modding towards anyone who dares to engage in a debate

meta backseat modding. good work. -JVG

they really tryna scapegoat Thibs

Makes senses that they’re trying to do that to Thibs. the front office really believes in this team they put together and they better cuz they’ve pushed all their chips in for this roster. Just didn’t think they’d keep mostly the same staff. Comes off a little vindictive but they have a point to prove to a lot of people. Now we’ll get to see if the reason the things didn’t feel seamless was Thibs stubbornness or pieces that don’t fit well together.

This.
I just wanted to know what Brown did without LeBron or Kobe and that's really a very small part of his resume. It is relevant to the discussion but, apparently not.

I am rooting for him. I have my concerns but, they aren't as rigid as why I didn't want Thibs. I can't wait to see the last two roster spots fleshed out and the coaching staff. So far, it's rumored that most of Thibs guys will be back. Doesn't that raise eyebrows?

Brown is the new HC
Staff TBD

Brunson/Deuce/Kolek
Mikal/Clarkson
OG/Hart/Pac
KAT/Yabu
Mitch/Huk

Two spots left to fill
3 TWO WAY left.

Summer league in a week.
