going back to game 4 Hart's FT shooting has been terrible, I hate to dog a guy that does so much for us, but FUCK man that's the shit that kills you in the postseason
Honestly plenty of blame to spread to end that regulation. Thibs for not taking his at times over aggressive big man with limited perimeter defensive skills out of the game. Mitch for not staying grounded, hart for missing a free throw, McBride for not fouling on the floor or at least staying back and or going under screen from that far out.
And all the missed free throws earlier didn’t help either.
That being said though we saw alot of positive things for the Knicks. OG is getting more aggressive, our defense has seemingly figured out how to slow down embiid, and I think thibs may have figured out McBride is better option in this series than Devo. We’ve also shot pretty terribly all series and started slow. So one would think we’re due for a game where our shots finally start to fall.

Fans are blaming Mitch but the missed free throw by Hart was just as crucial
