And it also happened after they got down 2-1 to Atlanta.

Both losses, by the way, coming by one point, so close games.

And then they make the shifts to towns as the hub, and that's not the only reason things changed in a drastic way.

It's part of it.

But, yeah, the gulf between the regular season performance and the postseason performance, I don't think there's a comp for that, Zach.

I really don't.

And you could look at it also like two ways with the East.

You could say,

well, the East was so bad.

Maybe in a normal year, the next regular season isn't a 53 win season.

Maybe it's even like a 49, 48, 47 win season.

Right.

And, or you could say like the playoff numbers are a product partially of a week East.

I can see that either way, but you know, the bottom line is it's happening and it happened to me.

Yeah.

Once I saw James Dolan and Stefan Marbury sitting next to each other, I believe it was game six in Atlanta when the Knicks went absolutely crazy.

Once I saw those two sitting next to each other celebrating Knick dominance, I just thought anything is on the table because it ended so ugly with Marbury in New York, with Dolan in the middle of it.

Those two together, it just told me anything is possible here with this Knick team if those two can unite over this group.

Super, super tense.

And, you know, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer today, but just because it was a Mets reference, I found it interesting.
