I mean, look, this is tough to come back from because, look, you know going in for the road team –
To win the series, you have to win a game in the gardens.
The Knicks don't have to win on the road in this series.
And when are you going to be in a better position to win a game than they just were last night?
Because even in the moment, I'm thinking, look, being honest, I'm expecting the Knicks to lose that game, as I'm calling it, when they're down 22.
Even then, you're kind of thinking like, okay, well, it's one loss for the Knicks.
I feel like the way they're playing, they're in a better place than the Cavs coming into this game.
Like, they're going to be okay as long as they win game two.
For the Cavs, first of all, I never crossed my mind that they would lose that game.
But once it got late, and now this is hanging in the balance.
Thinking to myself, if they cough this up, this is very difficult to recover from this because you might not get another game in this series where you stifle the Knicks offense to the extent that you just did.
Because the way they were playing coming in.
Now, the Knicks might go for 65 points in the first half of game two.
