Knicks fans are brutal! But seriously did Brown just decide to put a random lineup in the playoffs that he never used all season!?! He’s feeling the heat, will turn up the Brunson and KAT minutes to 40+ just like Thibs, have a tight series with the Celtics, but just like last year if they make the conference finals they’ll be totally gassed by then.

They need to give Richardson some time he can space the floor and fill it up, honestly Da Silva looks completely lost out there first two games even Cain looks better than him.
He's still trying, Jennifer.
A game ended with a defensive stop...

Kerr is an idiot
In defense of Brown, his teams without expectations don't do the greatest, either.

Mike Brown got put in a no win situation the Knicks players peaked last year and Thibs ran them Into the ground the past few seasons, has he made it worse sure but Thibs always does this to every team he's on he drains the life from them the Knicks chance to win was last year with all the injuries and they choked.

It also didn’t help that their GM decided to replace Precious Achiuwa, an actual NBA player, with fat Yabusele, currently not a viable NBA player.
I still see little reason the Knicks couldn't/shouldn't come out of the East this year if they played to their ability. Any grace given to them should be below that given to a team like the Pistons who legitimately hasn't been here before or tasted last year's defeat. Sad thing I think is Brown was the right coach for us in 22-23 but he peaked before the playoffs and it was all downhill after game 2. I thank the Knicks for bailing us out because Vivek was too chicken to call Brown on his bluff going into what should have been (and ultimately was) a prove it year.

Detroit really needs another scorer next season Duran has no moves other than open dunks and WCJ is a elite man to man defender, kind of surprised they didn't try get Monk.
Somebody needs to change this game's diaper.

Raptors are a bad matchup for him with Quickley out. All they have are giant dudes who Keon can’t match up with physically.
