Dan Le Batard

I was not there in 70.

I started going to games in 74.

So I missed the two titles and I lived through all the dreck.

And then once I got into baseball, I stopped being a true Knick fan.

And now I've crawled my way back.

It's impossible not to.

It was impossible not to be distracted by what went on at that game.

But I will tell you, Dan, one thing you got wrong in the first hour.

It's not that nobody thought the Knicks were going to win because our entire area thought the Knicks were going to win at the half when we were down 27 because we were examining field goal percentage.

And there's no way San Antonio was going to keep shooting at that clip.

And so we knew that it really wasn't a 27-point game.

It was not 76-49.

We viewed it as more of a 14- or 15-point game and that those games are easily, easily changed.

If it got down to 12, it was over.

We actually said that, Tony.

Real hoopers know.

Tony, we talked about what the score is because you can't shoot 80% from three for a game.

You can't shoot 75% from the field for the game.

So you have to look at where the field goal percentages are, and that's how you can judge where the game is.

So, again, that's not right.
