The New York Knicks are experiencing a fall from grace as far as the season record is concerned, but New York head coach Mike Brown doesn't see any reason to sound the alarm bells yet. He's adamant that his team has what it takes to not only succeed in the regular season, but be serious playoff contenders. 

That doesn't mean he doesn't think they don't need to make adjustments though. 

The Knicks have lost two straight after falling 126-113 to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday and they've now lost seven of their last nine games. 

Despite their recent struggles, Brown has maintained faith in his roster, which is still full of talented players that brought the Knicks to their standout success so early in the season. 

Brown has simply identified that the brand of basketball that made the Knicks so successful to start to the season hasn't been showing up in the way they've played lately, but he trusts that will change sooner or later. 

"We have played good basketball as of late... We've hit a slide, and that's the ebb and flow of any season that you're in. You're not gonna be here all the time [up]," Brown said. (via Knicks). "We've slid a little bit. I believe in the group, I believe that we're gonna bounce back and we're gonna figure this thing out, and fight the right way."

Brown's biggest issue with the way the Knicks have been playing lately, and something that he's brought continuously after several of the Knicks' recent losses, has been their lack of physicality. 

Brown felt that against the Warriors the Knicks weren't doing enough to make things difficult for the Warriors or get stops with their bodies and that he wants to see more physicality from his team to make things difficult for opposing offenses and stop hot streaks from the opposition before they even start. 

"Just right now.. We gotta keep trying to figure out how we can do the small things, and it starts with us being just as physical as our opponents for a longer period of time," Brown said. 

Of course, being physical can be held back if you're drawing foul calls in the process.

Being physical in a smart way is something else that Brown emphasizes often. 

He has constantly stressed that the Knicks need to lead with their chests, rather than their hands, in order to avoid easy foul calls, and that's something that New York has shown an inability to do in recent games. 

Despite all their struggles, the Knicks still own a healthy 25-16 record and are the third-seed in the Eastern Conference.

If they heed their head coach's advice and ramp up their physicality, the Knicks' season is more than salvageable at this point.
