Jalen has never been through a coach firing before and Thibs was special to him. Helped him become a two-time All-Star and all-NBA. Josh had the best season of his career. Thibs gave him stability he never had before. He plaued for 6 coaches in 8 years.

They love their teammates and they still talk in the group chat. They are sore now that they don't have to get ready for a next game.

Losing sucks and they are hurt they lost to Indy but aindy had counters for everything they did. They said it wasn't important where Indy ranked amd nobody believed they would beat Boston. So it didn't matter whether they were ranked as the favourites but missing the opportunity hurt. They believe they will be better next year. JB isn't watching the finals. Hart is hate watching.

Josh didn't want Jay Wright as his coach again. JB knew Wright was retired for good because he is living life.

They talked aboutnfather's day and some team awards like best dressed, best music, best teammate etc.

Too bad the podcast is 75% ads, 25% content. No wonder JB can give discounts.

Just caught the part around 3-4 minutes in, Josh talking about his knees are sore, he has to hold something to sit down, when he sits too long his knees are sore getting up. Like a 50 year old he said. I'm 70 and had a knee replacement a year ago, I know what he's saying. I wonder if this is a worry for him going forward. Not in retirement, I mean the rest of his career. He missed a few games with knee soreness. He doesn't need surgery but I hope he can do the right treatment and rehab to get his knees right. He won't likely play as many minutes next year but still.

Unless he gets traded, then it's not our problem. :D
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

It was reported to be patellar femoralis. Runner's knee. The knee cap comes out of the groove and irritates the lining of the knee. It's a painful thing but not career ending.

You know what, you're just a hating ass hater. Uncle Jimmy is magic with his mouth organ....and gives great advice. But what do you know, you're never gonna dine with the President, so you don't have to be careful what you eat....so just sit home and cry.




Hold the broccoli please, we got a hater over here.

Not sure his shot is fixable at his age, something about wrist too flat or straight. But imagine if he improved his three point shot to just average, so teams had to guard him. And he no longer hesitated when open. It would really unlock the offense

He’d actually have to put some effort into practice and shooting drills but by all accounts he acts like a **** high schooler during practice and team meetings. He should be embarrassed to be defended on the perimeter by a center lol. He is who he is at this point.

yea i love josh as much as the next guy and he had an amazing season. but since when did we normalize half assing everything besides the game?

i mean, we dont know whats going on behind closed doors in those sessions. maybe its all an act. but i find it weird they he celebrates his work ethic like that. he acts like he already done all the work and can just play

I agree, he brings great energy in game but the whole goofball act about practice and film sessions needs to stop. These guys want a chip, I’m sure some players get annoyed with him acting like a clown at times.

He is who he is. He goes off vibes. His wife is Trini. He isn't about the serious face during the grind. They've said he could be an elite shooter. He doesn't eant to be. He wants to win his way. He didn't want Wright as his pro coach because he was exacting on him. He loved Thibs because he got freedom for effort level. In his wau Josh is selfish as well. The Nova boys have odd psychologies. Jalen wants to do it all. Mikal doesn't want to get dirty and Josh just wants to vibe.

I would have no problem trading hart because of that. If we could deal him and a second for a guy like Coby white I would do it in a heartbeat. Josh hart just isn’t the kind of guy you want in a locker room with some teams. I doubt OG finds him very funny. Jalen even looks like he’s tired of the josh hart experience. Jalen grew up after college, hart never did.

I really hate how these Villanova players have brought such crappy attitudes and playing approach leading to substandard Knicks seasons the last 4 years

Hahaha it ain’t like that obviously, I’m just frustrated with the fact that hart doesn’t seem to care to get any better.
