Josh Hart feels he ‘failed' the Knicks in Eastern Conference finals
NEW YORK — Josh Hart didn't sugarcoat it. Typically the Knicks' do-it-all glue guy, Hart was not satisfied with how he played in the Eastern Conference finals. 'I failed the team,' Hart said after the Knicks' season-ending Game 6 loss to the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 'I didn't bring it the way I should have, especially in this series, and if I played better, it could've been a different situation.' Advertisement Hart scored a series-low four points on 1-of-6 shooting in Game 6, while his six rebounds matched his lowest output of any game in the postseason. His 22 minutes were his fewest in any game this season. He said he suffered a dislocated finger in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 125-108 defeat, and afterward, he shook hands in the locker room using his non-dominant left hand. Hart finished the series with a plus/minus of -16, meaning the Knicks were outscored by 16 points with him on the court. 'I didn't play how I normally play,' Hart said. 'There were some games I had three or four turnovers and let that cause me to get out my game and make me passive, because you know how costly turnovers are.' Advertisement Hart committed five turnovers in the Knicks' Game 4 loss before he fouled out. He finished the series with 13 turnovers. The 30-year-old guard did deliver some late-game heroics, particularly with his rebounding, in the Knicks' wins in Games 3 and 5. But Hart averaged 8.3 points and 3.0 assists per game — both well below his season averages — to go with 9.3 rebounds per game. 'I felt like I was playing hard, trying to find it,' Hart said. Hart started each of his 77 appearances in the regular season, as well as the Knicks' first 14 playoff games. His +38 in the Knicks' first-round series against the Detroit Pistons was the best on the team. Advertisement But after the Knicks' starting lineup was outplayed in the first two games of the conference finals — contributing to an 0-2 series hole — Hart volunteered to come off the bench. Seven-foot center Mitchell Robinson started the final four games in Hart's place. 'I had some good games and then some bad games,' Hart said. 'Just trying to find it. I couldn't find it. Obviously, extremely disappointed. Could've and should've played better. That's gonna sting for a while.' ____

Mark Daigneault explains how Thunder have navigated the glitz and glamor of NBA Finals
Mark Daigneault explains how Thunder have navigated the glitz and glamor of NBA Finals As the Oklahoma City Thunder prepare for the Indiana Pacers, the circus that typically surrounds the NBA Finals is brand new for most of the roster. Even Alex Caruso — the lone champion on their roster — had a unique experience in The Bubble. Still three days away from Game 1, the Thunder's typical setup looks vastly different now compared to even Round 1 of the playoffs. Expect national and global media to flock to OKC this week. Practices have had simultaneous media availabilities — one on Zoom and one in-person. The attention will only increase tenfold. The NBA Finals Media Day will be hosted on Wednesday. Expect hundreds of folks to overwhelm the entire roster with questions. Usually holding practice at their facility, the Thunder will hold it at Paycom Center as the all-day event will be broadcast on NBA TV. Despite all this hoopla, the Thunder have remained focused on the goal. They're four wins away from a championship and enter as heavy favorites against the Pacers. Mark Daigneault has helped navigate his group from this first-time experience. 'There are some things that are different. We're gonna practice Wednesday at the arena and there's gonna be 100 people at the last 45 minutes of practice. Trying to pretend that's the exact same would be foolish on our part," Daigneault said. "That's going to feel a lot different and we're trying to define that. We're also going to try to define what's the same. And what's the same is when the ball goes up in the air." This is the best mindset to have. All the pageantry involved with the NBA Finals becomes irrelevant once Game 1 starts. The Thunder will need to Eurostep their way through all the glitter. Especially when they're universally seen as the favorite to win the series.
