Hart has just not seemed himself these past 2 games. I don’t think he’s had a single transition coast to coast layup, which is partly because he’s not getting the ball, but also he seems less aggressive in general. That’s very very odd for him, he used to have like 2-3 a game last year.
He physically appears a bit labored and slower to me. He talked about him being kind of drained by the offseason fiba play, thibs mentioned him being ‘nicked up’ entering the season.
It seems like it’s fair to wager he’s not playing at 100%, which is unfortunate to start the season. Wonder if the knicks rest him
Thibs is only playing him 22 mins a night. That’s why. He should be playing 30.
It’s because they have him playing backup PF. Ny needs a backup PF and to put hart back in his SF position. He won’t be the same player we saw last season if he continues to play out of position
