00:00It might be the most disappointing loss in my Knick fandom history.
00:03Last night's game?
00:04No, no, no.
00:05If they lose the series.
00:06I mean, now, they had some disappointing losses, but I respected those Pacers teams.
00:11I obviously respected the Michael Jordan teams.
00:13Like, Atlanta a couple years ago in the first year.
00:17Where were you in 94?
00:18How old were you?
00:19I was 10.
00:20All right, so.
00:22Not like you're totally emotionally invested yet.
00:24No, but again.
00:25A fan, but not.
00:26It's the NBA Finals, and they lost a two-time, then they go and win again.
00:29Like, you know, Akeem, the dream.
00:31Like, they lost a legitimate, you know, Ronnie.
00:33I'm just asking.
00:34I'm just trying to think.
00:35Like, if you compartmentalize it.
00:36I don't know if I'd be more disappointed, considering the expectations of the season.
00:40To get knocked out in the first round by a team, I think they are clearly significantly better than.
00:45Like, this might be the most.
00:46If they lose this series, I'm 42 years old.
00:49This might be the most disappointing Nick loss in my life.
00:51You know why?
00:52Because this was, I guess, the second year, to be fair.
00:55But maybe the biggest of the two.
00:57Where our expectations were not pie in the sky.
01:01When we said the New York Knicks have a good enough roster to go to the NBA Finals.
01:06And you said that with the knowledge that Halliburton's out for the year.
01:10Sure.
01:10We thought Tatum was going to be out for the year.
01:13You know, we didn't.
01:14Cleveland wasn't a threat to us.
01:16And Bede's never healthy in Philly, nor is Paul George.
01:19So, they weren't really a threat.
01:21It was hard not to view this season as a special one where the Knicks legitimately, not because we're fans,
01:28legitimately have a chance to win it all this year.
01:30And when you get out of the gate against a team that, on paper, you are better than position by
01:36position by position.
01:38And you're in a 2-1 hole.
01:40Yep.
01:41And you have your season on the line on Saturday night.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Yeah, it's frustrating.
01:45And you kick the crap out of them in Game 1.
01:46The talk of the series after Game 1 was kind of like most people going, you know, I gave the
01:52Hawks too much credit.
01:53I thought this was going to be a competitive series.
01:54And it's clear the Knicks are going to kick their ass.
01:57Then they're up 20 points in Game 2.
01:59And now they're down two games to one?
02:01That makes sense.
02:02If they lose this series, I'm telling you, I think this would be the most disappointing series loss as a
02:07Knicks fan that I've experienced.
