Jalen Brunson makes demand for Knicks teammates after Mike Brown takes blame for recent losses

Mike Brown admits he hasn’t helped New York Knicks in recent games

Mike Brown spoke after the New York Knicks’ latest loss to the Chicago Bulls. He believes he hasn’t done right by his players over the last few games.

Brown added that he needs to be clearer and more consistent with his rotations, as failing to do so has forced his players to lose their rhythm during games.

“It starts with me because I gotta help them. With Josh coming back, with Mitch coming back, the different things that those guys present in terms of minutes…

“I didn’t help a ton last couple of games. I was all over the map with substitutions, so it was hard for those guys to get rhythm.

“I have to do a better job, and thought I did tonight, of trying to have a rotation & stick with it while still playing 9.5-10 guys…

“I have to continue to help them get comfortable in that area because we have guys that can come off the bench and make plays and knock down shots.”

Jalen Brunson says New York Knicks players must support Mike Brown

Responding to Mike Brown’s comments after the game, Jalen Brunson admitted that they have Mike Brown’s back, and the players need to step up and deliver for him.

“Mike’s going to make the decisions, and no matter what he does, we’re going to have his back. Regardless of what he does, and whoever is in there, we gotta be ready to go.

“We can’t ease in. Obviously, with shooting the ball comes a rhythm, but there are other things that come in the game of basketball. So, if he says that, great. But we gotta have each other’s backs.”

Brunson and the Knicks seem to have embraced playing under Mike Brown, even though their start to the season hasn’t been ideal.

The Knicks players have adjusted well to Brown’s offense, but they need to start translating their performances into winning basketball.
