In a span of 50 seconds late in regulation of the New York Knicks’ overtime victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, Josh Hart forced a jump ball, recorded a steal, dunked and passed a man open for a 3.

Thibodeau and the Knicks have sent a brutal message to Hart following his "ego"comments. And while it can simply be chalked up as a harmless little comment from an outspoken player, New York has made it clear they expect more from one of their leaders.

The last thing the Knicks need is locker room drama. Though it may not feel like it, New York is actually on a better pace than they were at this time last year. They are 26-15 through the first half of the season compared to being 24-17 through the first half of last season.

"We're losing games I feel like we shouldn't be losing," wing Josh Hart said in the locker room after the defeat. "We've got to start figuring it out. We're halfway through. There's nothing we can do about the first half now. But if we want to be the team we're trying to be at the end of the season, we need to start correcting stuff now."

In recent years, there has been a big trend of current and former NBA players breaking into the world of podcast. Among the more recent pairings to do is Jalen

“We're losing games I feel like we shouldn't be losing,” Knicks player Josh Hart said, per ESPN. “We've got to start figuring it out. We're halfway through. There's nothing we can do about the first half now. But if we want to be the team we're trying to be at the end of the season, we need to start correcting stuff now.”

At the season's halfway point, Josh Hart expressed frustration after the Knicks' loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night.
