DALLAS — Mike Brown has everything charted, ready to recite and analyze after the final buzzer.

He has the number of drive-and-kicks, for instance, or “sprays,” as Brown calls them. He has deflections. He has verticalities. He has a handwritten minutes sheet to consult during games for his substitutions. He’s uber-organized, not coincidentally as the son of a military father, and there are defined rules about playing his preferred style.

It’s a contradiction, in some ways. Brown wants the Knicks to adopt a freestylin’ offense without a playbook, but he also wants compliance with his tenets.

Play free, but play fast, and make sure you’re rebounding, passing and dribbling within these charted guidelines.
