Could the New York Knicks Finally Break Their Finals Drought and Shock the NBA World?
Clearly, Brown has added new life to a veteran team that seemed to have squeezed all they could out of their metaphorical orange. But how? And what does it mean for their chances of returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999?
The Perfect Offense
When the Knicks first traded for Karl-Anthony Towns, the idea was they would be so dangerous on the offensive side of the ball they could make up for any of the defensive shortcomings of a Towns/Jalen Brunson pairing. Under Thibodeau, that somewhat came to fruition, as their offense was very good, but when push came to shove against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, it wasn’t enough to overcome their defensive limitations. Now, under Brown, New York boasts the best offense in the world outside of the one that rosters Nikola Jokic.
