The best kind of psychos

don’t ask what sort of video Joe Mazzulla would have made

When that stops working, he’ll show them videos of their loved ones locked in a basement in the Bronx tied to chairs.

modern NBA coach

I’m a Knick sicko

I love basketball psychopaths

There’s no way the Knicks don’t win the Finals this, that shit is a lock.

Absolute sickos.

Josh Hart probably goes home and hunts rats, killing them with his bare hands.

The team genuinely seems to be playing like they’ll be shot if they lose, might as well add to the fear

Nah Mazulla would have used pictures and videos from traumatic experiences of their childhoods, like them crying after losing their first tooth, them crying at a relatives funeral, them crying because MJ died, … to drive that same point home

A comment like that, down 3-0, would make me want to fire that HC into the sun.

Joe Mazzulla would include vague threats of physical violence tho

Between analytics, “got a little unlucky” and “I like to hold them,” Atkinson had a generational press conference performance this series

I understand what he meant but man Kenny framed it in the worst fucken way possible. Just say we had better quality shots and they just were not dropping or something and leave it at that. The we won 2 of 3 was completely unnecessary and doesn’t matter at all.

Seems to be more effective than watching the town

What’s funny is Kenny’s comments COULD MAKE SENSE in some worlds like poker or something to explain short term variance not going your way. However, doing it in this setting where they’re getting steamrolled for multiple games is nuts.

Deeply funny to me to imagine his analytics department catching wind of that comment

What the hell does “Analytically, we won those games.” even mean man?

Brown is a legit coach don’t compare him to mozzarella

Yeah, we massively upgraded at coach

The amount of games we came back this year to win and completely obliterate teams in the 4th was astonishing.

fr man, that video tactic is some next level psychological warfare. Imagine that shit playing in your head when you’re up 18 in the third quarter, keeps you from ever letting off the gas.

He’s telling them to turn the fucking jets on…. emotionally

LeBron never let him actually be a coach. We’re seeing what he’s made of as a coach.

lmfao

“Remember when yall were ass without me”

Hes certainly been eliminated. never won a ring. not specific to them but knows the feeling generally

so true

Insane lol 

insert Mike Brown Laptop meme

Maybe it’s Mazulla wearing a Mike Brown face skin mask.

I mean he’s come a long way from holding up a laptop with replays at the podium

Nah, Warriors dearly missed Mike’s defensive coaching. I think he was the only thing keeping Dray and Klay in check.

He seemed like a good coach–just not a great one capable of turning the Knicks around like he has. He deserves a lot of credit.

Listen those first Hawks games were frustrating as hell. I appreciate what he did to fix things and take the series, but at the same time the Knicks sub was begging for those changes for a while before he finally changed things.

He saved himself, but he also made some mistakes early that were worthy of criticism at the time.

slightly off topic but speaking of anime, there’s this clip of Wembanyama biting his hand after game one like Eren, it was definitely an AOT reference.

it’s funny because the dude is already a Titan and he knows it

Maybe Mike Brown will show them Levi Ackerman clips then LMAO

Nesmith*

I HATE THE SACRAMENTO KINGS

Teej

Nesmith was the real villain

lmaooo that Kenny quote is gonna haunt him forever. But honestly Mike Brown’s approach is way more effective - fear of losing again hits different than some analytics meme.

Michael Irvin 

Kenny was known as a hard coach in Brooklyn. I don’t know that’s changed, but it is a lot harder to do that with legitimate stars getting paid. 

Think we do need to be careful about treating stuff that’s public or becomes public as reflecting what goes on behind the scenes. No one is rushing to post non-negative stuff when you get your butt kicked. 

You can make a 5 episode documentary on Harden’s playoff failures. It wouldn’t matter to Harden

He’s shown he’s great at running offense through passing bigs, I bet that Sabonis guy would flourish in his system. Now if only they had an electric scoring guard to pair with him…

Heard that

moral back to back finals run

it takes a certain degree of knowing your customer, Mike has been there for a year and he knows them very well, my general impression of the Knicks is that they really don’t have fragile egos about them, they’re balling for their city, for legacy, and for eachother and are hungry as hell

Hoping he meet Fox there too

The Sacramento Kings have had 32 head coaches in their 78 year history.

Only 5 of them had a total winning percentage above .500 with the team and Mike Brown was one of them.
