Josh Hart has simple reason why Knicks don’t have ‘target’ on them despite NBA title

Comments

1. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: they won one game more than everyone else last year, doesn't make them a 'target' or something. whatever happened to underdog story?
2. Romanofreya: haven't we seen this script before where teams get written off after one good season?
3. Adamr: Don't think being last year's champs necessarily means they'll be everyone's favorite punching bag though. How does their coach feel about the added scrutiny?
4. Obsidian Mantis: a target would imply they're favored to repeat - which isn't the case yet
5. Sanakarim: don't think 'target' status means anything in a lockout season anyway
6. Obsidian Pulse: please tell me hart's talking about more than just their lack of egos
7. Aidenbrar: Sounds like someone's getting a little too ahead of themselves here; still gotta put in the work to prove it was no fluke
8. Zoer: not sure what i'd be watching if i wasn't a knicks fan, but whatever happens next season, it better not include another slow start
9. Mirage Nomad: Honestly, a title defense is never an easy task, but I love Josh's confidence in his teammates. Given their roster and coach, the Knicks do have a legitimate shot at
10. Aiden: don't know how else they'll make a run without Randle's minutes, that was a huge part of their title season
11. Leo: I'm more worried about their supporting cast holding up than some supposed "target" on their back
12. Veraf: seems like a healthy team attitude to me, especially coming from hart who was part of that run
13. Echo Vesper: don't get it, how can a team not be expected to improve after adding julius randle?
14. Brunob: love how he's focusing on execution over hype, that mentality can go a long way in these play-in games
15. Wraith Kite: sports commentators always trying to make things about rivalries and tension
16. Velvet Rune: seems reasonable considering their actual on-court performance
17. Ravikwan: not buying it sounds like he's trying to keep everyone loose. we'll see how confident they are come playoffs time
