00:00But I also don't think it matters at all because the more you break down and process what the Knicks
00:05have done on this amazing 30-day run and 11-game run to the NBA Finals with the sweep of
00:13Cleveland, the sweep of Philadelphia, and the three straight to wrap up the Atlanta Hawks series, it's without compare.
00:20There's no other team we can look to and say, oh, that team had the same kind of run.
00:26The only thing we can look at is the stat you brought up yesterday, which I've been thinking about a
00:31lot since you brought it up to the forefront yesterday, and that is in the history of the NBA, there
00:37have been three teams and only three teams that have had the amount of rest the Knicks are going to
00:42have, or I should rephrase that, have played the number of games the Knicks have played in a 23-day
00:48span, which is four, which is the stat you brought up yesterday.
00:50When you let that sink in, that's crazy to have played four total basketball games in more than three weeks.
00:58It's happened three other times.
01:00Every other time it's happened, the team that had that rest won the series in five games, all three of
01:06them, 4-1, 4-1, 4-1.
01:07Now, that's no guarantee that the Knicks go 4-1 and come home with the title on the parade, but
01:15it's a pretty good indicator that having that type of rest is a net positive and not a net negative.
