Mike Brown, the New York Knicks coach, has acknowledged discussing a potential starting lineup change but is not close to acting on it. He stated that he plans to continue playing the current five-man playoff rotation for the playoffs. Earlier this season, Brown replaced Mitchell Robinson with Josh Hart, a move he made in December, and said his staff convinced him to abandon the original double-big lineup with Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns. The current Knicks starting lineup had been criticized for producing poor first quarters, but managed to secure a 108-105 victory over the Hawks. The team's current net rating was only plus-0.7, with a net rating of minus-8.1 in the first quarter.
