So whenever a team is down huge at halftime of the finals, this Knicks team will get brought up.
Whenever a team is going on a crazy postseason run, this Knicks team will get brought up.
And...
maybe more relevant than any of those, every team that has a good but not great regular season and gets into the playoffs as a low 50s win, three or a four seed, someone in their organization, player, coach, GM is going to reference this Knicks team.
Why do you believe?
Well, we think much like the Knicks a few years ago, we're hitting our stride at the exact right time, we're gelling, and we have an extra gear to hit.
So, they will definitively be a historically memorable team.
Now, will they be considered a historically great team or a good team that got on one of the craziest heaters ever?
That...
is dependent on what they do next season.
We talk about this on the TV show a lot, but the only team that is considered historically all-time great that did not validate it the following season was the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers.
And that was in part because they went 12-1 in the playoffs.
They had made the finals a bunch of years before.
They added Moses Malone to Dr. J. And then they, you know, fizzled after that.
But they're still considered an all-time great team.
Every other team that we consider an all-time great team, it was the conjunction of their title and what the title defense looked like.
So we'll see about that piece of it.
But here's the other thing I will remember about them.
Yes, DiManzi, they had a insane fourth quarter comeback against the Cavs.
Down 22 with seven and a half minutes left.
