We were talking math a bunch last year with the Celtics. And at some point, when you go up 20 a bunch of times over the course of a season, you're probably good. OKC this year, a lot of blowouts, a lot of big leads. You're probably good. The Knicks... feel like they're kind of punching above their weight when you just look at how hard it is for them to stay competitive in these games.

I was going to do this in the second segment, but let's do it now. There's two separate Knicks conversations right now, and they're running parallel to each other.

So Philly never happens. Let's go there. Philly just never happens. Butler blows up Miami. Dame ruptures his Achilles. Boston chokes the first two games away. And then Tatum gets hurt for a year in game four. And then Indy knocks out a 64-win team that had home court advantage throughout the playoffs. So you stack all this stuff together. And it's a borderline miracle if you're the Knicks.

So I don't, I'm not as, I'm not as like, yeah, this is one of my favorite basketball playoff theories. And then one that I always think of is Spurs sons, 2008. When, um, that Duncan made that crazy.
