Precarious. As much as I would love for us to all be right. God, it feels like it's just going to go seven. Something about this Knicks team where they just don't make anything easy. And I just feel like it's going to go seven. So, Shakia, maybe we'll talk to you after game seven next week. We'll see how it goes. That's going to do it for the show. Go and read Shakia over at the athletics.

She's been doing a great job covering the Pacers, you know, pinch hitting there. And honestly, like looking forward to what you write as we head into the finals. If the Pacers make it there, I don't want to jinx it either way. I don't know if you want more work or not. Thank you very much for being on the show. Thanks to Espera. I'm Dave DeFord. This has been the NBA daily.

Yeah. Shea Gildas Alexander was named the conference finals MVP, which is got to say we've got too many awards. The Oscar Robertson Oscar Robertson Western Conference Finals trophy is for the team. The Magic Johnson Western Conference Finals MVP goes to Shea Gildas Alexander. Got to say, by the way, shout out to Clay Bennett. owner of the thunder.

He, you know, they always award these things to the owner. He immediately just turns and kind of pushes it up to the guys. Like that's how you're supposed to do it. Although I got to say the Florida Panthers made the Stanley cup finals. And I like the hockey tradition of not touching the, the conference finals trophy as like, well, we don't want that. That's not the one we want to touch.

You got to wait for the Stanley cup. Where do you side on that? Is it good? Should you celebrate every trophy or, or should you celebrate the one?
