Knicks owner is set to be interviewed on WFAN on Monday. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST<\/p>\nDETROIT \u2014 James Dolan is breaking his silence.<\/p>\n
The Knicks owner is scheduled to appear at 5:30 p.m. Monday on WFAN for the relaunch of Craig Carton\u2019s show, the radio host announced.<\/p>\n
Dolan was last interviewed by a media member about the Knicks or Rangers in January 2023, when he also sat down with Carton on WFAN.<\/p>\n
Since then, the Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau despite advancing to the franchise\u2019s first conference finals since 2000. Then they hired Mike Brown. They also won the NBA Cup but declined to hang a banner.<\/p>\n

Dolan has yet to speak on any of those decisions. Brown, who speaks with Dolan after most home games, recently applauded the owner\u2019s contributions and setting the bar high.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look at a team on paper, you\u2019re around the team a little bit. You\u2019re like, \u2018OK man, we legitimately have a chance to like win this whole thing,\u2019 \u201d Brown said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to friggin\u2019 win and win at a high level. We have a chance here because of the roster, the guys on the roster and the coaches I have on my staff and Leon [Rose] and Jim Dolan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knicks (23-12) are second in the East and three games behind the No. 1 Pistons (26-9), with those two teams facing off Monday night in Detroit.<\/p>\n
The Knicks haven\u2019t finished with the best record in the conference since 1993.<\/p>\n
Josh Hart was ruled out of Monday\u2019s game against the Pistons with an ankle sprain, his sixth consecutive absence. The Knicks are 2-3 since his injury.<\/p>\n
Landry Shamet is also out again, awaiting clearance for contact after his shoulder popped out of its socket Nov. 22.<\/p>\n
The Pistons won\u2019t have regular starters Jalen Duren (ankle) and Tobias Harris (hip).<\/p>\n

Brown continues to send a message that his players should leave the refs alone.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficials are human,\u201d the coach said after the Knicks fell Saturday to the 76ers 130-119. \u201cThey\u2019re going to make good calls, they\u2019re going to make bad calls. And we can\u2019t rely on officials to win us the ballgame. We have to go win it ourselves. The reality of it is even with us fouling late, they shot 23 free throws, we shot 32. We had 18 fouls called against us and they had 23 called. So we have to do a better job of just focusing on what our job is or what we can do to help the group get over the hump and win the ballgame. \u2026 The officials are the officials. They\u2019ve been fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps not coincidentally, a league source said the Knicks desired a coach who would commit to a better rapport with the officials before they hired Brown. Thibodeau tended to be gruff with the refs and consistently shouted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DETROIT \u2014 James Dolan is breaking his silence.
