And obviously you can't go through that without having it.

There's a metaphor there that I just completely whiffed on.

But, yeah.

I think they have everything you need but experience.

Yeah, you know, I think the Knicks, again, are the betting favorite.

I also think that the Knicks, you know, many thought that they were going to roll the Pacers last season, and we all know what happened there.

I mean, Donovan Mitchell and James Harden as a tandem, you know, and Evan Mobley and Jared Allen, they have some of the size that can give the Knicks frontcourt, you know, with Cat and Mitchell Robinson some issues.

They have to get those, too, and it's been a weird series, and obviously no road team has won yet.

The Pistons, you know, I thought they were going to lose to the Magic.

I think they should have.

And that was a New York Mets-F chose job by the Magic.

There's my metaphor game back.

And I think the Knicks should win that series, but I do think that maybe they can get a push from either team, just given the regular seasons those teams had.

Again, James Harden's postseason resume continues to look iffy.

And that's where, again, that wouldn't stun me if the Knicks were to roll the Cavs in like five or six games just because of the way the Knicks are playing and the inconsistency.

But the Knicks should win the conference, I would say.

I was more shocked that the Clippers traded James Harden than the Cavs acquired him in the moment because the Clippers were rolling.

Obviously, it was the aspiration Kawhi investigation hammer that may or may not drop over them.

You know, they look like a team that could really make some noise in the playoff.

If you believe in the conspiracy that the Clippers knew the hammer was coming and they weren't going to bother paying James Harden this summer, his contract was only partially guaranteed.
