00:00I got to an NBA Finals.
00:01I've only been to two.
00:02I got to an NBA Finals, and I got run over by a dynasty.
00:06And I was devastated.
00:08Like, these opportunities are fleeting.
00:10I don't know what the Eastern Conference is going to look like next year.
00:12I don't know what the Knicks are going to look like next year.
00:14So I think we have entered the territory where they have to win an NBA championship.
00:18And I understand the thought process.
00:21If they don't, even if they lose to a better team in Oklahoma City,
00:24sitting there in the middle of June wondering aloud, am I ever going to see one?
00:27Like, that is a fair thought to have.
00:29So I think it's about they got to win it all.
00:31I think a lot of it, though, will be what it looks like.
00:34Like, if they get swept.
00:35Doesn't matter.
00:36It's going to be.
00:37But I'm comparing this to the Yankees.
00:39Go ahead.
00:40Now, the Yankees are somewhat different because they were always in the postseason,
00:44but the Knicks are always in the postseason now.
00:46Yeah.
00:46Right?
00:46So it's almost like it's the bare minimum is you're making it to the postseason,
00:52which is what the Yankees are.
00:53Right?
00:54So they go to the World Series.
00:55They lose to the Dodgers in the way that they lose.
00:58And it was, I mean, they lost in five, but it was kind of like they could have won any
01:03of these games.
01:04Right?
01:04If the Dodgers were just so superior and they just blew them out and it was like they never
01:10had a shot, you'd be like, all right, we just got to be better.
01:13If the Knicks get blown out by OKC, it's like he's got to, it's not going to work in this
01:19regard.
01:19But if they lose in seven and there are two of those games that they easily could have
01:23won.
01:23That's worse.
01:24I know.
01:25That's when you'll feel bad.
01:26Oh, I'm just saying if they get blown out and OKC is a dynasty, it's like, dude, what
01:31are we doing?
01:32Yeah.
01:32I think that we are at a point where, and Joe said this the other day, Joe B said this
01:37because it was on a Saturday show and I couldn't agree with him more, where you may be right.
01:41The Thunder may be better.
01:42We're not there yet.
01:43We're kind of holding off the fire of Knicks-Thunder because the Knicks obviously have a whole round
01:47of playoffs.
01:48Same thing with the Thunder.
01:49Yeah, which now looks like it might go to seven.
01:51May go full seven.
01:52More on that in a little bit.
01:54If you don't win, when are you going to win?
01:57It has nothing to do with are you as good, are you better?
02:00If you're not going to win now in which the opportunity is right there in front of you, there's
02:04some luck too.
02:05The opponents, the health.
02:06But Evan, then when does it happen?
