Terrible hire but even he cant mess up that team

So was he their 15th choice?

Mike Brown has been to the playoffs one time as a head coach since 2011-2012 after riding the coattails of LeBron in Cleveland and Kobe in LA.

I repeat it again...

In the last 11 seasons Mike Brown has led a team to the playoffs one time. Grant it, six of those he was an assistant in Golden State, but still...obviously this was what the Knicks were left with.

Knicks will NOT make it back to the WCF this season.

It's strange you're including seasons he literally wasn't even a head coach. Since 2013 he's made the playoffs once in 5 seasons as a coach, and tbf to him, one of those years was on a dreadful Cavs team the year before LeBron came back that no coach would've taken to the playoffs, and one of them was a year the Kings won 46 games but still missed the playoffs.

I also don't see the Knicks making the WCF this year either.

Happy for Mike.

Also was in a loaded west. Knicks should be one of the top teams in east

I think he's another Thibs, defensive heavy no offensive scheme coach.

I think he's a hard worker and professional, but this is throwing shit at the wall at this point.

Kings had the top offense. He learned some things in gs

How many of those years were true underachievement? I don't have a strong opinion either way but I don't recall him getting great talent in Sac or wherever.

He's definitely evolved as a coach. I think he's a great fit for NY.

I feel like he's too much in the same vein as Thibs. Feels like a total lateral move.

If you're going to move on from Thibs, I think you either have to upgrade and get a proven championship winning coach or you need to go in a completely new direction entirely.

Brown feels like more of the same. Not sure his hire justifies firing Thibs.

Makes sense that they would want to continue on the same path with hopefully someone the players like more

Was Mike Malone not an option or did Jokic cover up how good Malone really is? Serious question



Hire this fire Thibs Hire Thibs again…

How many times can teams recycle this guy?

Think about it. When Mike Brown inevitably gets fired at the end of the season or halfway through the next he'll be collecting 8.5mil from the Kings, probably 10mil from the Knicks and be out hunting for another job as a head or assistant coach. Life is good for Mike Brown and Damian Lillard

Players were having problems with malone. Same as thibs. Doesnt sound like the guy

He doesn't grind his players to play 40 minutes a night though. So it's an upgrade in that department.

He learned to let someone else run the offense. Cleveland's offense in the beginning with LeBron when he coached was completely dependent on LeBron and Brown didn't run any plays at all. Nothing complicated at least. They had no identity as a team offensively except LeBron-ball. Towards the end of his tenure with LeBron-Cavs he let offensive coordinator John Kuester run it. During huddles Brown wouldn't even be drawing up plays or in the huddle during timeouts.

In Sacramento he wasn't running the offense. His assistant Jay Triano was. He basically did the same thing there that he did at the end of his Cavs days.

So if you mean he learned something by letting someone else do it, then yea...he learned.

Delegating is part of being the head coach.

I agree. Especially if you don't know what the f*ck you're doing.

:yaohappy:

Should have just gotten Thibs an offensive minded assistant and some half decent bench players..
Mike brown is the biggest nothing hire
