The body disadvantage is quite obvious! It is difficult for the Knicks forward to take on the heavy burden when it comes to key games?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals G6, the Indiana Pacers, who returned to their home court, defeated the New York Knicks 125-108, locking the total score of the series at 4-2. After this game, the Pacers successfully reached the finals, and they will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the NBA championship this season, while the Knicks stopped in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, the performance of the Knicks' substitute forward Josh Hart is still surprising. Hart played 21 minutes and 56 seconds in the game, 1 of 6 shots, 0 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws, only scored 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals, and had bleak data. He also had 1 turnover and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -5. Hart's performance on the offensive end was not ideal, his scoring ability was seriously insufficient, and his ability in passing and supporting was not displayed. He was completely unable to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. Not only that, Hart is also subject to his figure on the defensive end and cannot show his own characteristics, and his defensive contribution is not too high. Hart's performance on the court was not ideal, and he did not perform at all on both offense and defense. With Hart's ability, he should have shown stronger strength, but he did not do this at all.

In the NBA regular season this season, Hart played 77 games in 82 games, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 52.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage of 77.6%. In the playoffs, Hart averaged 35.7 minutes in these 18 games, with averaging 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 3.4 fouls. He shot 47.2%, three-point shooting percentage 37%, and free throw shooting percentage 77.6%.

Hart actually performed well during the regular season. He can take on a lot of responsibilities on the offensive end, he has good scoring ability, he can also play some roles in passing and supporting. He is also a reliable defender on the defensive end. Hart has performed quite well on both offense and defense, and he is also a player with very comprehensive abilities. However, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the situation in the game also changed significantly, and his effect on the court was simply a mess, and his negative impact on the team was also visible to the naked eye. This round of series also completely exposed Hart's weaknesses. After all, he is a forward player with limited figure. Such a player looks like he will encounter huge trouble when facing opponents with tall figures and excellent athletic capabilities in the playoffs.
