Really nice debut for Brown. He got 11 players in, the motion offense is refreshing, and the Knicks controlled most of this game...granted, Cleveland was missing a bunch of important players.

I like how much the rotations mixed and matched. That should get even more interesting when Mitch and Hart get back. It's wild that the Knicks outrebounded Cleveland by 16 boards without two of their best three rebounders.

I love and appreciate Thibs for the standard and stability he restored, but yesterday was a banner night for his critics


They weren't asking him to reinvent the wheel, just evolve a bit :manny:
What's crazy is what we saw WAS an evolved version. That's the main reason I was ok with letting him go. The organization genuinely felt he was incapable of implementing the rest of the changes they (and all of us, for that matter) saw clearly needed to happen. All the leaks about them begging him to use different lineups etc and he ignored them all. That's one of those, YOU HAD BETTER BE RIGHT situations, and he was ultimately proven not to be. The flipside is, now the Knicks organization is in the same YOU HAD BETTER BE RIGHT situation. Managing KAT and Jalen minutes and not practicing was his compromise.
