Yabusele is starting for Mitch in the second half.

I obviously don't think the Knicks will be as bad of a 3-point shooting team in the regular season as they've been in the preseason so far, but I am curious to see if this team does struggle to be anywhere near as efficient as last year with more volume.

Knicks are doing a great job of generating open corner 3s.

They're doing a terrible job of making them.

Mike Brown said the starters will get “at least one burst” in the second half.

League Sources: The Knicks have hired Peter Patton as a shooting coach. He’s been the director of player development in Chicago and a shooting coach for Minnesota and Dallas.

Asked Brown if he anticipates using Bridges primarily at point of attack on defense or mixing it up:

"He will do it some. I think he chases really good, too. If Reggie Miller was still playing, I'd put him on Reggie."

Said they'll mix it up.

Mike Brown said one thing that stands out about Mikal Bridges is how great of a teammate he is. Said he's always uplifting everyone on the roster.

Mike Brown said he isn't sure if Josh Hart, who is day-to-day with back spasms and missed practice today due to an illness, will play tomorrow.

Bridges said Brogdon talked to him about his ability to stay available throughout his career.

Got together with @fredkatz.bsky.social and wrote about Giannis and the Knicks:

Does the Knicks trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo even make sense?

Brunson on team bonding in Abu Dhabi: "Being able to the dinner in the desert that we did, try different things that is within the culture out there was interesting and glad we were able to do it."

Brown said they haven't really put in any plays yet and that the offense is currently read-and-react based.

Brown on Giannis trade stuff: "I don't get into that stuff. We're in a great spot right now. ... I love our guys."

Brown said he expects to play the starters in the second half of Thursday's game.

James L. Edwards III @jledwardsiii.bsky.social · 3d

Brown said he expects it to take some time for everyone to get adjusted to being back from Abu Dhabi.

Said it was a good practice but probably their most sloppy to date.

Mike Brown said Josh Hart (back spasms) didn't practice today and is day-to-day.
