There's no denying that Mike Brown has completely changed the outlook for this New York Knicks team. It wasn't so long ago that firing Tom Thibodeau and bringing in Brown was seen as something of a controversial move, and now Knicks fans wouldn't change that situation for anything.
Brown's coaching style has rapidly raised New York's ceiling. Last season, the Knicks were still trying to figure out their lineups as the playoffs were going on. And this year, Brown's system is such that this team can much more easily employ guys up and down the roster while still playing winning basketball.
