Indianapolis – Josh Hart was the first to admit it – strong and directly.
He did not hide from his rough series.
“I failed the team,” said Hart after Knicks of 125-108 Match 6, end-of-season defeat at the Pacers Saturday evening in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. “I did not bring it as I should have, especially in this series. And if I played better, it could have been a different situation. ”
Hart said he was “embarrassed” when he examined the film of match 4.
He was not necessarily much better in match 5, but he was masked by the victory of the Knicks.
He will certainly not like to revise his match 6.
He will have an entire off -season to look at him.
Hart seemed to be in his own head after his difficulties earlier in the series.
He finished with four points on a 1 for 6 shot from the field.
And his two best attributes – bounce and ball movement – were absent. He had only six rebounds and a assist.
He played 22 minutes in the season.
This was indicative of his serial misfortunes.

For the series, Hart had almost as many reversals (13) as goals in the field (14).
Instead of being the guy of glue making the whole knicks, he was a responsibility for struggle.
“I had good games and then bad games,” said Hart. “I’m just trying to find it, I couldn’t find it. Obviously, extremely disappointed. I could have and should have played better. It will take a moment.”
After starting every game he played this year before before, Hart has been removed from the starting range For the last four games in the series.
He paid some dividends to the starting programming, because Mitchell Robinson had an impact with the unit.
But that certainly did not help Spark Hart, who admitted that he did not adapt well to the bench.
“For me, I felt like I was playing hard, trying to find it,” said Hart. “Anyway. I think I haven’t played how I play normally. There were games where I had three or four turnarounds and that it made me go out my game and make myself passive because you know how expensive the turnover is.”
After providing so many good this year, his sustainable image was nightmarish.
