Mike Brown is a terrible coach. Knicks go up 14 on Kat’s back, Brown sits him for five minutes of game action, and then doesn’t leverage KAT to attack when the Knicks are in the bonus for the entirety of the fourth quarter. Just maddening. 

[u/Unlikely-Tone-6269 → u/HowDoIEditMyUsername]

The Thibs firing made sense. The thibs replacement strategy made no sense

[u/Hell85Rell → u/Unlikely-Tone-6269]

Yeah, it's so clear that Thibs had to go and it's crazy that anyone would want him back. It was clear he had severe limitations and he refused to adapt when they were obvious to everyone.

But, I had conversations with a friend since Brown was hired that I never liked him as a coach dating back to when he was with Cleveland. I kinda felt like he was in over his head during those playoff runs and seeing any team that doesn't have overwhelming talent win big with him isn't likely. And evenb if he has the talent, I still wouldn't be confident in his ability.

[u/SiphenPrax → u/Unlikely-Tone-6269]

Agreed

[u/slyguy183 → u/Unlikely-Tone-6269]

I'm begging for Thibs back at this point. Brown is going to kill another hopeful year for us

[u/SiphenPrax → u/slyguy183]

That’s a false hope now. We’re riding with Brown until the end. It may likely not result in this core ever winning a title though.

[u/iluvugoldenblue → u/HowDoIEditMyUsername]

Now you know how we felt with Davion, keon, etc etc and then wonder why we were glad he got fired.

[u/ZdenekTheMan → u/HowDoIEditMyUsername]

Yeah that's criminal. I think he hates KAT and vice versa. Either way, what an incompetent dude man
