\u201cI\u2019ve just seen too many times when I don\u2019t, where it seems like it gets worse and the next thing you know, we\u2019re down 16-4,\u201d Brown said. \u201cI\u2019m going to do whatever I can to not let that happen. The tough part about it is if I do that, I\u2019m down timeouts. So I don\u2019t like doing it. But if I have to, I will try to wake them up.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knicks have had problems lately at the start of games. Over the last 10, they were outscored by an average of 3.2 points \u2014 the fourth worst in the NBA during that stretch and ahead of only tankers Brooklyn, Dallas and Washington.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re turning it over to start. And our opponents are not feeling us,\u201d Brown said. \u201cAnd if they do feel us, it\u2019s because we\u2019re reaching and sending them to the free-throw line. We have to take away the 3 to start the game. The last three games, teams are bang, bang, bang. Hit two or three 3s like the first 1 \u00bd minutes. We\u2019re not getting to shooters and they\u2019re not feeling us on our closeouts. If we do that and we\u2019re taking care of the ball so we\u2019re not fueling their transition, we should start games better. But we\u2019re not giving ourselves a chance and we\u2019re letting our opponents feel good about the way the game is starting. It\u2019s been addressed. It will continue to be addressed and we will continue to keep scrambling until we can find a way to slow that area down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Josh Hart (knee soreness) and Karl-Anthony Towns (bilateral knee soreness) are both listed as questionable for Friday night\u2019s game against the Pacers.<\/p>\n
Hart missed Wednesday\u2019s win over the Jazz with the same ailment. Towns appeared to tweak his knee in Monday\u2019s loss to the Clippers but played through it.<\/p>\n
The Pacers own the worst record in the East and are on a 10-game losing streak. But they\u2019ve tried harder this season against Knicks, including an overtime win at MSG last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An image collage containing 1 images, Image 1 shows New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown reacts after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,670,14200,559,686,423,327,563,304,3357,6,114,422,427,3972],"class_list":["post-655799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-utah-jazz","tag-basketball","tag-brooklyn","tag-charles-wenzelberg","tag-clippers","tag-dallas","tag-jazz","tag-josh-hart","tag-karl-anthony-towns","tag-knicks","tag-mike-brown","tag-nba","tag-pacers","tag-utah","tag-utah-jazz","tag-utahjazz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116220525128139337","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
