The cavs clearly prepped for the KAT offensive hub scheme and the knicks moved away from it fast. Moving him to a catch and shoot, iso, and post up threat made him still have amazing impact despite the different role. Having multiple amazing roles he can fill makes KAT special. Some nights he’s Sabonis. Other nights hes a 7 ft iso threat.

PurchasingPugs | Knicks

I was a Mike Brown hater and boy was I wrong

dortmunder13 | Knicks

977 | 4 months ago

I agree with you. I didn’t like the hire when it happened but I was completely wrong. Adjusting after Atlanta game 3 to point center KAT, developing a bench, going to 5 out on Tuesday when it took thibs 5 games, even tonight when he put the starters back in early in the 4th. Great stuff.

EuphoricHouse | Knicks

683 | 4 months ago

Sky was falling after Game 3 in Atlanta and he’s now coached 9 straight playoff wins. Insane

Mg29reaper | Celtics

To be fair he was being extremely stupid in that series like he ran no star line ups for like 10 mins

myheartismykey | Knicks

Not even sure if it was stupid or a test. Which was crazy.

lilmeekrat | Knicks

Running a test in game 2 because you’re that confident you’ll win the series is crazy. And that game 6 blowout shows he was right.

CommandersLog | GSW

This is me reliving our glory days but it reminds me of how the dubs would figure out a team as a series progressed. Epitomized by Steph and Dray knowing we’d won the series after Horford killed us in a game.

People don’t give Mike Brown enough credit. He’s been part of resurrecting teams and winning for much of the last half of his career

Mindsetsandreps | Knicks

78 | 4 months ago

When he put Bridges and Brunson back in with about 10 minutes I was like oh he’s not fuckin around. The saving grace was that Mitchell played the entire fourth and had nothing left at the end.

AbjectAffect91 | Knicks

38 | 4 months ago

Yeah good move. 18 point lead cut to 8 thanks partly to refball. Cavs played 16 straight Playoffs basketball games with only one day rest in betweens. Account travel and those legs are dead. We need to go for the jugular.

Mg29reaper | Celtics

If there is one thing Mike Brown excels at its getting non traditional bigs to look good. First Sabonis and now KAT.

Backshotsonyadaughtr

people shit on Lebron’s 1st stint Cavs teams but they had an elite defense with Twin Towers coached by Mike Brown

Mike Brown held Tim Duncan to one of his worst playoff series ever

realsomalipirate | Raptors

131 | 4 months ago

The thing is that Mike Brown pre-Warriors is a totally different coach, at least with his offensive philosophy and willingness to adapt on the fly more.

cletoreyes01 | Heat

74 | 4 months ago

Pre-warriors mike brown had an awesome offensive philosophy though and pretty simple too.

Give lembrom ball.
That’s it.

HipnotiK1 | Knicks

46 | 4 months ago

He’s very collaborative with his assistants now. They have an offensive and defensive coordinator.

samhit_n | Lakers

137 | 4 months ago

Thibodeau was a floor raiser while Brown is a ceiling raiser. This is why the Knicks are playing better in the playoffs despite people saying swapping Thibodeau for Brown was a lateral move during the regular season.

HipnotiK1 | Knicks

56 | 4 months ago

Right. It was just as much about Thibs stubbornness. He didn’t want to take suggestions/input from the front office and his assistants were largely just yes men falling in line to how thibs wanted them to play.

Everyone knows the issue with starters minutes, not playing the bench enough etc - but it was also an unwillingness to adjust. He believed in his strategy/scheme and would die with it and only change/adjust if his hand was essentially forced.

Brown is basically the opposite in a lot of those categories. He’s essentially letting his offensive and defensive coordinators run timeout huddles etc and is very quick to make adjustments (sometimes maybe too quick, but that is a nuance of coaching). Also experimented with tons of different guys in the rotation throughout the year. Closed with different lineups based on who had the hot hand etc etc

The comeback in game 1 with hart on the bench - Thibs would never. He’s going back to the starters 100 times out of a 100.

FullHouse222 | Knicks

144 | 4 months ago

Bruh this Knicks team is just a series of so happy to be wrong moments

Why did we pay the backup PG on Dallas big money as a FA?
Did we really need to trade away RJ? OG is good but always injured idk.
Man 5 firsts for Mikal is a pretty big overpay idk.
God damnit, just when we were gonna fulfill the nova knicks prophecy we now lost Randle and Divo? I hope the whole KAT is soft this isn’t as bad as people say
Mike Brown? Really? Ugh I guess we’ll see how this goes

DaBronxBombersV | Knicks

26 | 4 months ago

Brunson definitely showed he had potential in Dallas.

RJ was never going to be that guy, and quick was ridiculously over valued and paid by Toronto.

Mikal trade, yea it was a lot, but for the right guy to complete your system, do what u gotta do.

KAT trade, when the news broke, I hoped it was BS, but i can’t shade KAT and how he elevates the team. I miss Dante more than Randle.

And Mike Brown, im glad I was wrong.

Jimm120 | Knicks

407 | 4 months ago

the KAT offensive hub scheme and the knicks moved away from it fast.

you can’t do that offense when Hart isn’t being guarded. Even Brunson is having a harder time cause Allen just roaming to help.

Once Hart starts making shots, its all over and everything starts working

Mg29reaper | Celtics

145 | 4 months ago

Also the cavs have been employing some light illegal holding techniques to prevent those baseline screens you guys love offball

Jimm120 | Knicks

yeah. the gameplan was working to perfection (though knicks were still up) when Hart was missing. 2-7 from 3. He had the most shots for the knicks at the half…which wasn’t a good thing. by design.

but he started making shots. once that happened, it opened up everythign else for the knicks

I feel like this hack a shaq style is getting less effective as the league gets better talent through the years because even if you disrupt a teams rhythm by fouling a weak shooter you’re risking putting your team in the bonus with guys who can use those free throws to get hot. Even without that you have to start playing much less physical ball because you worry about fouling and sending guys to the line.

I remember looking at the east as a sixers fan and thinking the same thing. I knew we sucked, no Tatum for the Cs, and the Milwaukee Antetokounmpo’s were the same. The Pistons to me never made any sense because Cade just is the team and the Cavs I figured would be about the same till harden.

The Knicks are just incredibly deep in talent, have a great starting 5, and their chemistry is just leagues above everyone else. Josh legit is the heart of the team, Brunson does normal shit, KAT is so versatile, and that OG trade was an absolute steal. Mikal was always the last piece to get right and now that he’s scoring it’s hard to say they aren’t in their final form.

This series just screams sweep. The Cavs took advantage of a rusty Knicks in game 1 to nearly win, but these teams are really not close in level. Maybe Cavs steal one at home, but the Knicks are in a class of their own in the East.

Ty finally someone with sense. Was crazy hearing everyone saying Cavs, pistons, Celtics were better when it just wasn’t close at all

Pistons match up well, but the Knicks performed better against top teams all season.

Still surprised the Cavs beat the Pistons. Too many absent players in the playoffs.

TheTonyDose | Knicks

The Cavs had an insane whistle in this game and the refs gave nothing to the Knicks. 32 FTs to the 14 for Knicks including when they hacked Mitch multiple times and the Cavs still lost easily by double digits.

No one has been on our level in the East.

Going into this series we’re top 3 def rating and good for 2 off rating on par with OKC. Theres a significant drop off to the next best which is the Spurs. Cavs weren’t even top 5 off rating.

This could very well a sweep while Spurs/OKC is 7 game war. Knicks could really be slept on as winning the finals.

The Knicks are just amazing man. One underrated thing about them is composure through adversity they went into the bonus mad early in the 4th and just kept their poise. Scary team if I’m OKC or spurs I wouldn’t underestimate em. Yes I’m calling it series done.

They lost by one both games… they are 10-2 with an insane point differential blowing out playoff teams by 40.

Knicks showing off they can win a variety of ways. Brunson doesn’t go crazy for points like Game 1 but 14 assists. Hart goes from being unplayable in Game 1 to being the highest scorer. Then KAT and Bridges carrying them in the first half. This is the epitome of team basketball.

Cavs though… They missed 10 FTs despite the volume being very much on their side. Merrill is also picking a rough time to slump missing all 7 of his 3s, many of which were wide open.

Knicks are finding ways to win while the Cavs are finding ways to lose.

toggaf69 | Cavaliers

“Finding ways to lose” is really just the Cavs this postseason, barring random spurts of brilliance. Team is very prone to collapse and negative momentum, idk if it’s coaching or player leadership or what

Yea, I don’t know why people are acting like the Spurs would absolutely smash us into a sweep. We beat them by 11 and 25. They beat us by 2. Not a big sample size and the playoffs are not the same as the regular season, but we actually have the ability to guard Wemby and the shooters to work around him.

The Knicks can beat anyone but the NBA media and fans have a weird obsession with the West always being better by default

Fully-rested Knicks after sweeping the Cavs vs whoever win in 6-or-7 between OKC and Spurs will be fun.

TheWumboligist | Knicks

53 | 4 months ago

Unfortunately that might mean another rusty game 1 but the “good” thing if that happens is A) Shai seems to be bad Game 1s if its OKC and B) we’ll be on the road either way so its not like we’ll lose home court like what would have happened this series.

Jimm120 | Knicks

30 | 4 months ago

knicks can easily come out rusty. look how they looked in game 1.

It was horrible offensively for 3 ¹⁄₂ quarters.

Tons of misses simply because they missed (not forced to miss).

Rust.

Rest, but rust.

You can’t sleep on OKC for even 1 quarter.

ethiopian_kid

The Knicks also beat the Spurs in the Cup Final, they are 10-2 so far this playoffs with both losses being 1 point.

Maybe they are just a good team?

We gotta give Mike Brown his flowers. Ever since they were down 2-1 to the Hawks, he’s been the more innovative coach in every series and has made quick and accurate adjustments.

10 to 32 FT if you remove the 4 hackAmitch. The refs tried to give the cavs a win after that collapse in game 1 but they said no thank you.

Long way to go but I don’t see why this Knicks team can’t take 4 out of 7 from anybody.

Doesn’t mean it’ll happen, but the fact that I can envision it means this is easily the best Knicks team in 30 years

The New York Knicks (2-0) take command of the series in Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers (0-2), 109-93, behind Josh Hart’s 26 point performance
