For the record: (LOL!)

Dammit, start. Mitch for Hart already. If Hart is passing open shots, he shouldn’t be there. Hart is not the play. Sub josh hart, enough! The big is not guarding him. Sitting in the paint stopping drives while watching hart shoot bricks. Hart’s shots aren’t even close. Adjustment time, coach. Oh good more Josh Hart. We have two unplayable guys…mitch and hart. Hart can’t make a 3 and Mitch can’t get a rebound or make a free throw. The Mitch-Hart lineup stinks. Hart comes back and immediately shoots an insanely difficult fadeaway. If I were coming up with the strategy for this game, I would hope that Josh Hart had the most shots by halftime…and he does. Jack Nicholson nodding gif everytime Josh hoists a 3. That’s it Josh, go to the rim. They’ll keep daring Hart to shoot but if it’s Shamet or Deuce out there it’ll start scrambling the Cavs’ defense. Hart leads the Knicks with 12 FGAs. Nobody else has more than 7. We are playing the game that the Cavs want us to play. This makes no strategic sense whatsoever. Deuce and Shamet combined for fewer minutes than Hart. Every lineup has had Mitch or Hart in it, and surprise surprise our 3 pt shooting is shit. We are lucky hart finally made a couple wide open toward the end of the half. That might mean that Brown will think his strategy is working. Why do we just concede that we’ll make our offense depend on Hart hitting threes? Are we trying to pay Atkinson back for letting us iso on Harden all night in Tuesday or something? less josh more landry MB… seems so incredibly obvious, and yet… Last year I think Hart told Thibs to start Mitch, maybe he’ll do it again. I mean Hart has 1 rebound. We are literally playing him in the Brunson role it’s insane. I’ll stop speaking about Hart, because otherwise I have to complain every possession. 9-0 run bitches. Okay, this is good… Man, we can just explode on teams. Maybe we can stop with the 5 out and Brown incompetence complaints for a while? This is looking good. Keep shooting Hart! There we go! And maybe a pause on the Hart hate, too. They’re gonna have a real hard time if Hart keeps hittinf his 3s. The thing about ignoring Hart on the perimeter is it doesn’t really work if Hart doesn’t want it to work. Yasssss. JOSH. LOL. I love Josh Hart. He is the kind of tough a team needs. Lmao I must admit the timing of my complaints haa been impeccable this series. Hart, the sharpshooter. The Josh Hart game I always predicted. Josh HEART. Whoever complained about Hart needs to apologize. Is shooting 45.5% from three good? Asking for Josh… Kudos to Josh and the starting lineup. I didn’t think they had this in them. He’s here, he’s there, He’s every fucking where! JOSH HART! JOSH HART! That last rebound by Hart was incredible. Josh, you don’t need to foul him now. 3. Josh Hart lmao. Josh Hart , I apologize. Credit Josh Hart. We were all on him and he stepped up. Atkinson to his team before the game: “Ok leave Josh Hart open no matter what” Team: “What if he starts making shots?” Atkinson: “I got nothing”. No lie… when the Knicks acquired Hart, i took a look at his numbers and the kind of player he was. I thought to myself, “this guy can win us a playoff game.” josh heart just got deep…servant to his teammates, strong faith, prays for humility, and burned his ego away years ago…okay there mister josh…I see you… Josh had never attempted 11 3PAs in a game his whole Knicks career. His record was 9. If he does this consistently, there will no longer be a ghost coverage. Hart is definitely the Id. If Josh shoots like this, the Knicks will win the chip. I’m watching some of these highlights and man, Allen’s not just sagging off Josh, he’s 25 feet away from him on some of these plays. Note these are Josh Hart highlights I’m watching. @SbondyNBA
Josh Hart says he’s not big on analytics: “They’re like a lamppost to a drunk person. You can lean on it but it won’t get you home.” Guessing he’s not a lurker here. And I couldn’t care in the slightest.

MB heading back to cleveland to get some payback…

i told my wife that my son can choose between Yankees and Dodgers

That’s gracious of you, Cdiggy. I’m letting my son have Inter Miami CF but that’s it.

Under NO circumstances will he be a Laker fan. She rolls her eyes at me but really, she’s not gonna put any energy into doing anything about that 😁🤣

let’s see what happens if they don’t leave mobley or allen hanging back by the rim…

They’ll probably try it again because they’re kinda fucked if they don’t. But remember how many big games Josh has had in Cleveland. He likes shooting there.

That’s great, Alan! Happy for you and yours!

I have felt all along that I wouldn’t be able to judge him until we saw what the team did in the playoffs.

Sold!
