Latest Updates Around The World
NEW ORLEANS — It’s not quite what the Knicks had in mind when they put this bench together, but it doesn’t matter if it works. With Guerschon Yabusele downgraded to DNP status and roaming the trade block — and Pacôme Dadiet, the franchise’s only first-round pick remaining on the roster, disappearing from Mike Brown’s famed […]
Mike Brown came to Karl-Anthony Towns’ defense. Towns is often criticized for his lackluster effort on that side of the ball. His lack of speed, especially laterally, is often noticeable when he is late in rotations or comes slowly up the field. But even though it was against a weak opponent, Brown was impressed with […]
Early in the season, the Knicks have shown that when they are clicking offensively, they are almost unguardable. In their 116-94 victory over the Raptors on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks scored 41 points in the first quarter – the ninth time this year they have scored 40 or more points in […]
So much for Mike Brown’s plans to use Josh Hart in smaller doses. This was the workload Hart had grown accustomed to under Brown’s predecessor, Tom Thibodeau. And he rewarded Brown’s faith with a standout performance, recording 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists in a season-high 40 minutes during the Knicks’ 118-109 Black Friday […]
MIAMI – Mitchell Robinson’s minutes restriction has been relaxed, but coach Mike Brown hasn’t come close to playing his center to the limit. Robinson, who put weight on his surgically repaired ankle early in the season, again logged sub-20 minutes in Monday’s 115-113 loss to the Heat. It was the seventh time in seven appearances […]
It turns out that Mike Brown is eerily similar to Tom Thibodeau when it comes to garbage time. The new Knicks coach defended his decision to leave Jalen Brunson on the court in the final minutes of Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, saying, “I’m trying to win the game” while referencing his experience with “crazy […]
From the outside it may seem like a subtle difference. Most won’t even notice. For the players, however, the impact is palpable. When Knicks coach Mike Brown takes players out of the game, he often takes a moment to talk to them before they sit on the bench. That was rare under his predecessor Tom […]
Jalen Brunson had had enough. Enough of an early three-game losing streak. Enough of the burgeoning questions about Mike Brown and his offense. Enough of the sudden bad vibes surrounding the Knicks. Brunson is so often their stabilizing force. After the Knicks experienced their first setback during Brown’s tenure, Brunson leveled the playing field. He […]
CHICAGO – Mike Brown says he wants to see how the Knicks respond to adversity. He is already getting a chance, probably sooner than the coach had hoped. In the previous two seasons under coach Tom Thibodeau, the Knicks only suffered a three-game losing streak after Christmas. With higher expectations and an experienced roster, Brown […]
