There\u2019s been good parts and bad parts, but at the end of the day, we\u2019re doing good as a team. That\u2019s the most important part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s stuff I can definitely do better than what I\u2019m doing right now and that\u2019s on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hartenstein has played in all 41 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s this season and on Monday night got the nod over Jericho Sims to remain in the rotation as the backup center with Obi Toppin returning from injury as the backup 4.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Isaiah Hartenstein looks to grab a rebound during a recent game against the Raptors.\" class=\"wp-image-25315725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2046 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Isaiah Hartenstein looks to grab a rebound during the Knicks\u2019 win over the Raptors.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>But the loss to the Bucks proved to be one of the more frustrating games of Hartenstein\u2019s season. He brought down four rebounds (all of them offensive), committed three fouls and went scoreless in 10 minutes after shooting 0-for-6 from the field. That included a single possession late in the third quarter in which he missed three straight shots from inside the restricted area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are things that I can control and that\u2019s what makes me confident that I know I can do it better later on, or the next game,\u201d Hartenstein said after practice as the Knicks prepared to play the Pacers. \u201cThat\u2019s a quick fix. It\u2019s not like something where I\u2019m doing complicated things like fadeaways, step-backs or things I don\u2019t normally do. That\u2019s stuff I know I can do. I\u2019ve done it in the past, so I\u2019m not really worried about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t help that the sequence came during a 10-0 Bucks run that helped them get back in the game and erase a 17-point deficit. But it has been something of a growing trend for Hartenstein this season.<\/p>\n<p>Entering Tuesday, 234 players had attempted 50 or more field goals from within the restricted area. Hartenstein ranked 219th in field-goal percentage at 54.1 (53-for-98). Among 63 centers in that group, Hartenstein ranked last. First in that category was Sims, who was shooting 84.7 percent (50-for-59) in the restricted area.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"672\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?w=672\" alt=\"Knicks big man Isaiah Hartenstein defends as Tre Jones goes up for a layup during the Knicks' win over the Spurs. \" class=\"wp-image-25315742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1344 1344w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1008 1008w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=672 672w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=336 336w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Isaiah-Hartenstein-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\"\/><figcaption>Center Isaiah Hartenstein defends as Tre Jones goes up for a layup during the Knicks\u2019 win over the Spurs. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">N.Y. Post: Charles Wenzelberg<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last season, Hartenstein shot 72.8 percent from within the restricted area.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, opponents are shooting only 61 percent in the restricted area with Hartenstein defending them, which was the sixth-best mark among all centers with at least 300 field goals attempted against them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rim protection is really good,\u201d coach Tom Thibodeau said in assessing Harteinstein\u2019s performance. \u201cObviously having the ability to play away from the basket opens up the floor for us. Puts pressure on the rim, the offensive rebounding has been really good. Play to your strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Except the Knicks have not used Hartenstein in the same role he thrived in last season, when he was a sharp facilitator averaging 2.4 assists per game. This season, he is averaging 0.8 assists per game and has been used more for his spacing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a little difficult, but at the end of the day, it\u2019s about what the team needs,\u201d Hartenstein said of adjusting roles. \u201cEveryone sacrifices certain aspects of their game. Not everyone\u2019s playing exactly how they want to play, but that\u2019s every team. \u2026 Now I just kind of have to sacrifice one of my best attributes. But whatever the team needs. We got three guys that are very ball-dominant and I think that\u2019s kind of how we\u2019ve been winning. It\u2019s hard to say much if we\u2019re winning.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
