The New York Knicks have been one of the most impressive teams in the Playoffs. They are the first team in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they are waiting for the winners of the Detroit Pistons vs the Cleveland Cavaliers series.
This has been an impressive run for the Knicks, which is a good result of Mike Brown's arrival as the team's head coach. He has become a great presence in the locker room, as the Knicks look more cohesive these days.

In previous seasons, Tom Thibodeau was excellent for the Knicks. However, some issues were quite evident, including how the players had little say in the system.
It was mostly a system centered on Thibodeau's tactics, which were similar to what people saw during his stints across the NBA. That has not been the case with Brown because he is a much more collaborative coach.

As the captain and leader of the Knicks, Brunson has been excellent for the Knicks. It is a great result for what he has done throughout the years since he joined the Knicks. Now, he has a coach who listens to him and the rest of the team, as their input matters.
"He's always one to have open dialogue since day one...we give our opinions. Whether they're good or bad, they're talked about and decided on later," Brunson said in a recent Knicks presser.
Moving forward, this is a good sign for the Knicks because they have all the talent in the world. However, a coach who knows how to maximize them is great for the team's potential in the Eastern Conference Finals.
