00:00
The NBA summer can often be dramatic whether it's free agency or blockbuster deals or heck
00:05
head coaching hirings the offseason around the association always filled with drama and storylines
00:12
no different yesterday afternoon DRS as we break it down here bright and early on a Thursday on
00:18
the early line when the New York Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time
00:23
in 25 years since 2000 and were booked as a favorite against the Indiana Pacers with home
00:31
court advantage people started dreaming like it was 99 like the Knicks would get to the NBA Finals
00:37
for the first time in 26 years why because Tom Thibodeau as the head coach had guided them there
00:44
but when the Knicks came up short there was some question around Tibbs's future was he the guy to
00:50
elevate this Knicks franchise to the stages they now expected to be the answer pretty quickly DRS
00:57
was no as Leon Rose and that Knicks front office decided to axe Tom Thibodeau after five highly
01:04
successful seasons in New York if you make that move for a guy that had brought you to new stages
01:10
and new heights in recent franchise history we all think all right who is that next big fish the New
01:17
York Knicks are going to reel in Jay Wright Rick Pitino Dan Hurley all right a guy in the NBA Jason
01:25
kidd Eric Spolstra the Knicks were denied and basically every head coaching inquiry they made so who do
01:31
they settle on well it was made official yesterday the next head coach of the New York Knicks Mike Brown
01:39
welcome to Madison Square Garden inside the world's most famous arena Mike Brown will be the new head
01:46
coach DRS of the New York Knicks starting in 2025-26 upgrades are what you're always looking forward to
01:53
when you're trying to win a championship and hear me out on this like Mike Brown is a very solid NBA coach
01:59
but that's not what we were looking for in New York City like we were looking for next level who's going
02:04
to be able to get us over the hump who's gonna be able to get us to the championship round who's gonna be
02:08
able to win an NBA championship who's gonna invigorate the fan base because the fan base like
02:13
Thibodeau but we used to joke about hey it's funny that they don't play any bench and you play five guys
02:17
the entire season 82 games every minute of every game eventually catches up to you there were some
02:21
deficiencies there I don't think anybody looked at the New York Knicks roster and said boy he's the
02:25
reason why we didn't win this maybe some of the guys just didn't play as well so if you were under
02:30
the thought process that coach Tibbs was hey maybe he's not good enough I want to go out and get a true
02:35
tactician and the guys they tried to ask for Jason Kidd, Chris Finch, Imi Odoka, Quinn Snyder, Billy Donovan
02:40
and those likes and maybe pulling Jay Wright out of the commentary booth to be their head coach
02:45
because I just think what Knicks fans wanted to is because there was so much passion in that arena
02:49
throughout the playoff run so much passion in the city that I truly believe if they got the head coach
02:54
they wanted to like the fashion district would be exploding to like I can't wait for the press conference
02:58
we're on our way to an NBA championship but now we look at it it's like okay it's Mike Brown it's a
03:03
wait and see approach I don't figure I don't you know you don't fire Tibbs Ben to sit back and say
03:09
let's take a wait and see approach the next coach is supposed to be here to take that mantle and not
03:13
say hey happy to be here in New York I'm here on one mission it's to win a championship that's what
03:18
I was hired to do and have the fan base believe that
03:21
you're as much better as well I don't want to use it right now
03:25
you're Halloween you have to go from going down to a team that you aren't worth it
03:29
they were almost there being on a team swift bus helping you out here that you're
03:33
it's the same Usually let's all the options are all that you're hoping for
03:36
you should come up there That sounds like this is enough people think
03:37
social town that every day have not allowed to record this team to happen
03:41
people think so if you've done some such cool issues
03:43
events that all the Maggie were told this meeting
03:46
that we were doing a team of variables, all thekeit helped push
