IF the Knicks don't have OG Anunoby in this series, here are a few adjustments Mike Brown can make.
1. Double Big - force the hands of Nick Nurse. KAT/Mitch makes it easier to rotate your 1-3 rotations. Even if it's for a minute or two.
2. Play Mohamed Diawara - I don't think Mike trusts Mohamed Diawara, especially with the attention to detail in these kinds of games. I hate to say it cuz no one loves Mo more than me. but he's just been out of the rotation for so long, you're going to have to hope he's not dealing with rust, anxiety, on top of having to understand his assignments.
I remember specifically that Mohamed didn't get in Paul George's air space in the December 19th game and PG hit a three in his grill. I do think he could get some run at the end of a quarter for his defense, energy, and length. I doubt it, but I'd smile like a kid in a candy store if he got the opportunity.
3. Increase Clarkson's minutes - This is the most likely approach, as Jordan Clarkson is a veteran and knows how to play on the road in intense environments. Clarkson showed his defensive prowess, taking on the Jonathan Kuminga assignment in round 1. With Paul George and VJ playing 40 minutes a night and Mikal primarily on Maxey, someone else has to step up and guard off the bench. Clarkson is small, but he's noticeably up into the body since he returned to the Knicks rotation in March/April.
4. Landry Shamet minutes - Landry Shamet got into the game last night during the small ball 5 actions, but he was just showcasing his positioning and switch-ability on defense. He didn't make any plays and got beat pretty badly by Dominick Barlow on one play, I believe it was a Grimes deflection that got into the hands of Barlow to cut the lead to 84-83. I love Shamet's resume and you never know when he's going to erupt, but he also seems to be out of rhythm and tentative to shoot even, which really hampers the main get of having him out on the floor.
Mike Brown has to get creative in game 3. I'm not saying punt the game and start experimenting. but Throwing Hart/Bridges out there for 45 minutes is not going to work in my opinion. Not on the road. Don't fall into Nurse's rotations too much. Yesterday was tough cuz the center situation forced the Knicks to play small and thus drove Hart's minutes up... but the Knicks gotta have a couple bodies ready to replace OG's minutes.
What would you do?

Joel Embiid: “I don’t know if it was dirty or not. I guess I got to do a better job of protecting [myself].
“I don’t think that was necessary…But we move on. It’s whatever. It’s playoff basketball…I guess we got to be physical too and do it too.”

Joel Embiid is struggling with some abdominal pain after taking a shot from Mikal Bridges while setting a screen. He's staying in the game, but something to keep an eye on. Embiid had an appendectomy less than four weeks ago.

@WaltonsWagers @sny_knicks Why am I’m a dummy bcuz I thought they had 1 left & didn’t realize that they burn them out bcuz they had non productive players on the court losing a 14 point lead. But idiots like urself didn’t realize that huh?

@thomas_dar99462 @sny_knicks They didn’t have a timeout you dummy
English

@sny_knicks Yeah the miss free throws were a problem but the non challenges cost them 5 points & the McBride 5 turnovers cost them 8 points. But not calling timeout with 5.6 left in the game is ridiculous. Especially after calling 1 & Brunson hitting a 3.
English

@KnicksMuse Still on Mike Brown for calling one with 2:43 as Brunson is driving to the basket in the bonus.
