To be fair...procuring basketball opinions based on astrology seems alot more reliable and effective than the methods most basketball fans use given their opinions.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

this is where the value of Mike Brown is also coming in...clearly being able to build out a coaching staff with with guys with specific offensive/defensive skill sets.

Brown and the offensive assistants really need to get into the lab and put together an offense. Hart with the starters caused a ton of schematic problems but there’s fit issues that need to be ironed out too. The biggest problem was Kat and Brunson chemistry got worse as defenses changed coverages through out the year. To the point that we basically abandoned their 2 man game. That really needs to be our bread and butter and our opponents shouldn’t be able to force us out of it so easily.

The other big question Is it possible Mikal and OG to fit together better. When Brunson was out they didn’t have any issues but when Brunson played they alternated scoring well. Is it just as simple as running one of them with bench units more to get their shots or is there actions that can get them both involved? OG is obviously a great cutter. Can something be built around that? Getting the offense to that next level has to be priority number one.

Nobody wants to coach with Brown...the agenda has already been constructed.

Honestly with the new coaches we’re bringing in for offense and the clippers guy for defense, failure is not an option for us. Cause if we still fail to get to the finals or win a chip then that means our biggest issue is having a flawed roster and it was never coaching.

There seems to be a three-year window, maybe 4

It's incredibly hard to make it to the finals or win a title. Let's see what happens

Unfortunately that’s the bar set for Mike Brown. Thibs got fired for not getting this team to the finals. So it’s really finals or bust for Mike brown. And he really should have an easier path to do so since our two biggest threats (Boston and Indiana) won’t be in contention this year. So there’s no excuses unless we get hit with some major injury.

Thibs got fired for multiple reasons and if Brown doesn't make the finals, the Knicks aren't firing him unless there were other problems (ie a total collapse)

We'll see what happens. The team is going to take time to gel with the new coaches, so I think his the team looks from January onward is going to be key

I’m not too worried about Brunson and Kat issue being fixed. We saw them be awesome together the first couple months of the season. If they put a wing on Mitch, he’s gonna destroy them on the offensive glass. Or if they decided to start deuce, he’ll make it rain big guarding him. There’s obvious fixes to try and I’m not that sure there are for Mikal/OG.

OG and Mikal problem has me more worried. It really feels like an RJ/ Randle situation and they can’t compliment each other. They both kinda do the same thing on offense by being corner 3 guys that like to attack close outs. We’ve seen both of them slack off defensively on nights that they’re not getting the amount of shots they think they deserve. At the same time, how many shots are you willing to take away from Brunson and Kat to keep both of those guys happy? Not an easy question to answer.
