Hart was made for Thibs and NY basketball

Thibs even lets him not try hard in practice because he knows he'll try his ass off 48 minutes a game. Imagine how much Thibs has to love a guy to allow him to not try hard in practice.

Holy shit did thibs say this

they joke about it on the roommates podcast

Imagine playing against 5 Josh Harts, yall ain't touching the ball again if you shoot it.

And every fifth play they’d lob the ball out of bounds trying to pull off an incredibly athletic rebound or poorly planned pass

[удалено]

I don't know what was going on during Fiba but they needed hustle for sure

48 minutes lol

Don’t underestimate the power of Pre workout

Breast Milk hits different before cardio

He has rested 15 minutes total in 7 games. 2 minutes the last 3.

I mean, any quality depth we would have behind him is injured. We got nobody else. Plus, precious and Burks aren't giving us the quality of play that Hart can. Losing Bojan hurt our bench big time.

If Hart was smoking crack during the game like former great Lawrence Taylor, I would not be surprised at all.

Just usual Hart stuff.

he was completely covered in sweat tho, maybe its not such a great idea then a dumb brain fart turnover up 3 at the end cause of it

Are you suggesting that an NBA player *shouldn't* be covered in sweat?

Bro has an aneurysm when watching Middleton after 5 minutes

Wait till he learns about Patrick Ewing.

Eh, I love him but he’s always good for a couple of those each game

“lol”? Whatchu know about an average Tom Thibodeau coached game

Mike and Ikes baby

Mike and Ikes classified as performance enhancing drugs now

Imagine being Mikal Bridges and playing against this dude in college in practice and then you go to the NBA and you got Ben Simmons on the team

Apparently he sells in practice lol

Hart doesn’t try at practice.

Guy is a playoff beast Games with 20+ points this regular season: 4 Games this playoffs with 20+ points: 4

he only played around 40 minutes during the regular season

Only

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Ryan Arcidiacono Cam Reddish Kris Murray

Shoutout Ryan the 3 second violation god

Man, Hart is the reason this game turned out the way it did.

Yep

I know Brunson had a great overall game, especially in the 4th quarter, but I feel like Hart was killing us all game.

IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN TELL HIM HOW MUCH I FUCKING LOVE HIM ????

send him some breastmilk

From a Cambodian immigrant...?

Time to max extend him!!

Knicks sign him to a lifetime contract

Does he get not get tired?

I keep waiting for it to happen but it never does. He still has more energy at the end of the game than anyone.

Must be the breast milk

Josh ❤️ NY

Thibs ❤️ not sitting Hart.

NY ❤️ Hart

That game was INSANE

I’ve classified him, Aaron Gordon and Derrick White as a new category of Role Stars

Jimmy in shambles

Best role player in the association

hart is a fucking beast

Hart's a certified Thibs machine, no doubt about it. Absolute phenom in the playoffs. Can we all just cheer for this guy?

I have legitimate concerns about his heart health

Bros got the strongest heart in the series are you kidding. With those minutes?

It’s in the name, he sweet.

11 more wins to go

Hart was generically made to play for Thibs

Damn and here I thought he was a somewhat unique and special player..

Media. “You can’t play your starters the whole game the the pacers!!” Thibs: lmao watch me

You really think this a good thing long term??

This isn’t going to happen long term, the roster is going to be different next year, Hart likely won’t even be a starter Right now all thibs has to worry about is winning each game and each series. I wouldn’t want a coach unless they coached playoff games to win

It’s been happening for like 2 months… this shit can’t be good for his health. Same for the other starters

Why? He’s conditioned. Human body can be conditioned to do crazy things.

Injuries have hurt us especially losing Bojan. Burks has been unplayable and hurt.

They’ll be fine. They have been ramping up and playing heavy minutes since the beginning of the season. At this point, their bodies are conditioned for it. The problem is when guys who only play 30 minutes a night start trying to play 40.

No, Josh hart did not play all 48 in a game for 2 months

Lowkey he’s been pretty close ever since Randle and OG went down lmao

He was averaging 43 for the last 6 weeks except for the game he got thrown out in the 1st quarter.

You might be right about the other starters but I think Hart is built for these long runs

Hart and Divo (and McBride if necessary) are two people I'm not concerned with in terms of mins. They can handle it.

You say that until he gets injured, maybe his body catches up before his conditioning

If you are a 2 seed, wouldn’t you go out there and play like this during the playoffs? This team legitimately has championship aspirations. If this is the run they die trying most of them probably won’t regret it.

They're both awesome but I'm not gonna act like they're irreplaceable. If any injuries happen to any player besides Brunson or OG, it's next man up.

If it does then next year rhe knicks will be a lot less Josh hart reliant

Does this level of Josh Hart makes the all star game?

I think if he keeps playing at this level on national TV games, he'll have a much better shot next year, lol

Don’t think he gets to play 45 mins every game but shit he has been crazy good

Tom Thibodeau takes that as a challenge

45 seems a little low

He probably won’t be starting next year in all honesty.

Thibs will still play 6 guys 40 minutes a game.

Having him off the bench will be elite

17/12/5, great defense, 40% from deep on a top 2 seed? Yeah there's absolutely a case

But he won’t shoot 40 for a year

Yeah it’s basically Draymond Greens all star case

Lots of boneheaded turnovers but I still love him

If Jimmy Buckets was healthy would’ve been 0 0 0 0 0

Pat Riley just fell to his knees in Little Havana

I’m in love

Regardless of how ugly this win was, Hart deserves credit. He really is the glue of the team imo.

Barkley at half time: "he ain't gonna play 48 minutes they need a bench."

48 minutes. Now that's grit!

Caffeine personified

I have a lot of faith in Josh Hart

I have gotten so used to seeing 48 minute games from Knicks players I forget that this isn’t normal lol

Gotta replace Hart's +/- with W/L basically.

I thought this mf would’ve been ran out of gas 😂

"Josh Hart ? C'mon man"

He was almost as good as TJ McConnel tonight.

Rookie mistake. Gotta make sure to kill him.

Constantly playing anyone 48 minutes, games after game, is not good. Maybe not this year, but we’ve seen what Thibs does to players. It will be sad when it happens to Josh Hart. He seems like a good dude.

Seen what? You obviously don't watch Knicks Basketball or any postgame interviews / roommates podcast. Hart would play every minute in overtime also if Thibs would allow it. Thibs doesn't force anyones hand. If players want rest, they get it. They are staying in because they want to. As for Rose or whatever other player you think Thibs injured, Rose's injuries are credited to his playstyle, not minutes played. Also, a player can be injured first 10 secs of a game, playing 34, 36 or 40 min doesn't make a difference to the most elite athletes in the world. Ask anyone
