The performance on both offense and defense is a mess. Is the Knicks forward general s condition very worried?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks who played at home 114-108 again. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 2-0. Next, they will return to home court to continue fighting. It seems that they have already gained an absolute advantage and initiative in this round of series, as they have won two consecutive away games.

In this game, the performance of the Knicks' starting lineman Josh Hart was very disappointing. Hart played 28 minutes and 30 seconds in the game, made 2 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. He also had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -10. Hart had no scoring ability on the offensive end and did not get the score he deserved. Hart's performance in passing and supporting is also unsatisfactory. Hart's performance on the defensive end was even more shocking. His personal defensive ability was not fully utilized, and his disadvantages in figure were completely magnified, and he was simply beaten by his opponents in various ways. Hart did not have the effect on both offense and defense, which to a large extent directly led to the team's defeat. If Hart performs slightly better, the Knicks may have a chance to win.

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 36.9 minutes in his first 14 games, with averaging 12.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 0.7 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.4%, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 76.1%.

Hart's overall performance this season is of course quite outstanding. Not only does he have good scoring skills, he also has good passing and organizational skills. In the playoffs, Hart's performance was still at a high level, and he also proved that he was a player with both offense and defense. His outstanding performance was also an important factor in the Knicks being able to pass the hurdles and reach the Eastern Conference Finals. As a result, when it came to the Eastern Conference Final, it seemed that the situation had changed a lot. Hart's performance in these two Eastern Conference Finals was terrible, which also led to the team's lack of competitiveness. If Hart can't find the level, the Knicks may really be in big trouble.
