Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports that head coach Mike Brown has been frustrated with the Knicks’ slow starts in recent games, even though the team has managed to recover in some cases.
On Sunday, New York fell behind by 21 points in the first quarter against an injury-depleted Golden State Warriors team before rallying to win by three.
Despite those issues, Brown said he is not currently planning to make any changes to the starting lineup.
“Right now I don’t feel the need to,” Brown said Sunday. “But like I said, if I felt the need to, I would. I don’t feel the need to right now.”
Brown emphasized that his concerns are more about the team’s overall performance rather than singling out one player, Bondy adds, though he left open the possibility of adjustments if necessary.
“It’s not too late to do anything. And if I feel the need, I will,” Brown said of a lineup change.
“I’m not thinking that right now. I’m not concentrating on each individual because, like you said, we’ve started different people at different times.”
