ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — If you’re going to blame anybody for the Knicks’ conference finals flameout, blame Josh Hart.
That was the message from Hart after Tuesday’s practice in Abu Dhabi, where he rerouted criticisms of Karl-Anthony Towns to himself.
“I thought [Towns] played well in the playoffs. I mean, hey, I think the only one who should get blamed is me,” Hart said. “I had a terrible — I think I played well in Detroit, played well in Boston. With Indiana, I just didn’t have nothing left.
“I thought [Towns] played good. I thought the team played well. I think I didn’t have enough to give. Honestly, I should get the brunt of that more than KAT or anyone else. They played hard. They did what they were supposed to do. If they’re blaming [Towns], I think it’s stupidity.”
