KAT gets mauled a lot and only a fraction of the fouls committed on him are actually called. If he didn't complain about everything, I think the refs would give him a lot more credibility.

It’s official. Hart is our most impactful player.

A year ago Hart was playing like a liability.

I couldn't tell that Hart had much of an impact on the game (sarcasm).

Knicks don’t win this game without Hart. But also I don’t think they lose against phoenix if he plays either.

Probably the reason Hart starts over Deuce: better handle and rim runner, rebounds, heart and hustle. And these the things the other starts don’t excel at.

Not that Deuce doesnt do those things but Josh just better at all of them.

We shall call him 3 minute Mo.

he is still getting his feet wet, he will have more time. Team has to rebound from its slump.

Josh needed to come back cause KAT was also struggling

I could feel Brown's puckered butt clenched through the TV screen and it didn't relax until the final seconds ticked off the clock.

If I had to choose one, I would keep Kolek active over Clarkson who veers between being a trainwreck and a bucket getter.

Mitch has been far better the last two games. He looks more vital and focused.

Amazing what a little Hart can do for this team. We just play with more urgency and emotion with Josh. And it's like he never left! He looked so in sync with his jumper and made all his usual hustle plays. He also did the best job on Avdija. Clutch shots by OG, Deuce and JB! KAT played well too. Anyone else notice he did not argue with the zebras even once? Good move by Brown to finish with Mitch though. Sucks Kolek didn't play but it is what it is.

Extension of contract negotiations going well I guess

Yes!!! I saw that! This really gives me hopes that Towns can turn around his relationship with the zebras at some point. He was boxing out too!!! That's huge

Brunson can impose his will on games, especially at end to close. OG can do it on the defensive end and maybe Mikal can too at times. We've seen Mitch do it in spurts. KAT on offensive end.

But Josh brings the energy and physicality and ball handling none of the other guys do on a regular basis. His mentality of "**** things up" is crucial and unique to only him on the roster it seems. It's a combo of physicality, all out energy, zest, and some **** it up mentality.
