David Samson

Regardless.

It's 18-12.

No, you don't have to do that.

What you can do in that circumstance and say, because I'm going to say it again, and it's why I didn't get it wrong.

The Spurs had the best half.

that a road team has ever had in a finals game.

In order to come back from that deficit, you have to be as better than the Spurs in the second half as the Spurs were better than you in the first half, which means you have to be historically great in the second half in terms of what the point differential is

To be better than what they were in the first half, largely unlikely.

It's why Michael Wilbon says he's never been more surprised by a result that David Sampson, of course, says, oh, I knew it was going to happen.

The Spurs scored 30 points in the second half after scoring 76 in the first half.

I cannot tell you how unlikely that is.

It's so unlikely it'll never happen again, and it's never happened before.

You guys think what when I say there's no way at halftime Knicks fans actually believed they were going to come back and win this game?

No, but at 12, it was a wrap at 12.

When you get it down to 12, it's a wrap.

Everyone knows that.

I just want to clarify what you have surmised for us here to make sure I have it accurate.

After the game, you couldn't believe what had happened, but at halftime, you thought it was going to happen.

After it had happened, you couldn't believe that it had happened.

But at halftime before it had happened, you believed it would happen.
