Re: Some love for Josh Hart
If Randle (and OG) is fully healthy and focused then we are top contenders in the East...
Strength and Honour!

Defense will be insane with Mitch, OG, and , Deuce on the floor at the same time.

In the first 418 games of his NBA career, Hart didn’t record a single triple-double. In the last 24 games he has recorded six
This is one of the reasons I called him a bum. 3 teams in 5 years and also got decent minutes at every stop - in his own words - he couldn't find a home. In Portland - it's not just that he didn't hit 3's, he was scared to shoot - how was this guy going to play in MSG?robillionaire wrote:I was critical of the amount of money he got paid but nobody can say he didn’t earn it this year with the amount of minutes he’s played and winning basketball
...you weren't the only one -- and it was a reasonable criticism. Part of Leon's code is to pay everybody's mama - get the constituency paid - this looked like a case of that (while making Brunson happy) - and we all know how such things can go sideways.
...But the proof is in the pudding. He's played well for 2years now ... in the regular season.
I know he pushes the ball and rebounds, but for me, it's his quickness around the basket that makes a difference. He adds to the chaos in the paint that Randle, Mitch,Ihart, and now Precious brings. Obviously, Knicks are a possession team, and 2nd chance points are gold.
However, if he can't hit his 3's -- Knicks will continue to play 4 on 5 on offense - which is a fatal flaw when the knicks play good teams. But, while I'm impressed with how he can still make a play sometimes, driving from the 3 point line and forcing a close out instead of taking a shot, Boston and the Bucks can really take advantage if he's out there with say, Mitch or Precious.

Re: Some love for Josh Hart
A lot of what Josh is doing is exactly what I expected and why I never understood people griping about his contract, but it is a little wild to me just how automatic he is slashing to the rim in space. He's not a great driver in crowds, but I don't always appreciate just how good his finishing is when there's some space.

Brunson: So what are you paid to do?
Hart: Run around like an idiot during the game and f*** s*** up!

Don't think Deuce has been on the court with OG & Brundle yet:

He's gonna work woth JJ Reddick....Funny thing I remember watching him other teams and it must of been during one of his hot streaks....he looked like a sniper.
With his off-balance form he will always be streaky. but that effort, the defense, and the ability to hit that big momentum shot are there.
