Josh Hart this postseason...46.6 mpg, 18, 12, and 5 on 44.7% from three...

What in the world?

I never thought I'd see this from Hart. He's been great. Leads the playoffs at 46.6 minutes per game and putting up great numbers.

Figured he deserved his own thread!

The 3pt shooting has been huge, even if he doesn't hit another big shot. He basically forced Nurse to give up on his plan of selling out to get the ball away from Brunson, and teams can't ignore him out there like they were at times during the regular season.

When he's attacking the rim with a head of steam, he's an excellent finisher and distributor...and everyone knows about the rebounding.

Just the perfect 6th/7th man who has step up in a big way since being forced into the starting lineup.

Probably a lot more than Randle would be giving them outta that PF spot.

And to think the Cavs passed on this guy not once but twice.

This man is all Hart. When you take into consideration his playing style and how much energy brings to the court, its inconceivable how much he still has left in the tank in the 4th and OT. He's rested for exactly 2 minutes out of a possible 149 in the last 3 games.

Turns out he was the best player given up by the Lakers in that AD trade

This silly meme is getting old. Josh is playing great but we desperately miss Randle in the half court...especially with the way he was playing this season. Brunson's a beast but his efficiency has dropped significantly without Randle and even on a bad ankle last spring, we were an objectively better with Randle on the court than without him.

I was clamoring for the Lakers to keep him. No way the pelicans say no to the trade just because of Hart. Even his rookie season I thought he'd be the perfect role player on a championship team, and though he's eclipsed my expectations Im not insanely surprised either.

Dude has always been a winning player. Especially at Villonova.

Just hope his wheels can continue to handle this workload. Thibs is in a tough spot this season, but next year when they have a full roster, this can't continue all regular season. Guy is gonna end up blowing a tire.

He really needs a breather but not much we can do with all the injuries we have.

He is critical to our team but 46 minutes is not sustainable. I hope somehow he can manage these playoffs.

Against the Pacers Thibs could certainly play guys like Burks or Shake Milton a few minutes lol.
