Mike Brown explains he ‘enjoyed’ the New York Knicks’ historically bad 0-3 start this season

After what was the worst start to a season for a reigning NBA Champion, the New York Knicks are seemingly back on track. The Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks to move to a 6-4 record in their first 10 games this season, turning around what had been a dire start for them. However, even with the consecutive losses to start their championship defence, the Knicks have not wavered in confidence. Mike Brown says New York Knicks will be ready for the ‘real season’ in the playoffs When asked about how he felt during their start to the season, New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown suggested he appreciated them going through a difficult stretch early on. Brown noted that their 0-3 start reminded the players and the coaching staff how difficult defending the NBA championship would be, and how alert they need to be. Brown said: “The house wasn’t burning down for us. I said it, and I had to be careful saying it because I didn’t want to get my house egged or anything like that. “I enjoyed our start because it was competitive. There were certain small things that we weren’t doing well, but it reminded us of how hard this was going to be. To go through stretches throughout the course of the year where you struggle or lose to a team you’re not supposed to is okay. “I think those types of struggles throughout the course of the year build character if you handle it the right way for when the real season happens, which is in April, May and June.” The Knicks started the season 0-3, which is the worst start to a season by any defending NBA champion since the 2011-12 Dallas Mavericks. However, since then, the Knicks have been playing much better, going on a 6-1 run to get their season back on track.
