If Daniel Day-Lewis did it, you'd be jerking off all over yourself.
Aggressive description.
That's me.
Okay, so the first thing that needs to happen is a round of apologies, not just from the people on this show, but people nationwide, specifically Knicks fans, who are calling for Mike Brown's head.
This is what Mike Brown envisioned from the beginning of the season.
They started out a little rough, and everyone was crying, like, oh, my God, we're not going to make it back.
Where's Tibbs?
And so he eventually kind of transitioned back to the offense that they were accustomed to running under Tom Thibodeau, which is a very ISO heavy, you know, ball in Brunson's hands offense.
They get to the playoffs and they start to have a little bit of problems against the Hawks because it's a very versatile defensive team.
And so Mike Brown is like, hey, you know what?
I got here that might work as an adjustment.
It's the offense I was trying to run all along, which is a Golden State offense.
They're running warrior sets there where Towns is in the high post, right, like Draymond Green, and they're running split cuts for Bridges and Brunson, and they're curling and popping off and all that stuff, and Towns gets to look and survey, and if they're helping, he can hit that far corner, and if they're not paying attention over here, he can hit this guy, hit a guy on the handoff, and then as we saw the other night,
Sometimes the defense forgets about all these things and all of a sudden, oh yeah, Carl Anthony Towns is wide open for a jumper.
And that's the difference between him and Draymond Green where it's like, you can live with that with Draymond Green.
With Towns, it's insane.
But he has that opportunity now.
And so because of that, the offense has opened up.
And we're seeing a Knicks offense that has a much higher ceiling and that is directly attributed to Mike Brown and his adjustment and his playbook, but also Carl Anthony Towns accepting that, hey, I can take 12 shots in a game and I can be one of the most important, if not the most important reason why we won.
I found it like it's in the Atlantic.
