The numbers told the story they always do.

It's one of those idiots who believe in analytics. This is a numbers game with Gil Alexander gone V-SEN. Good Wednesday morning to you as a numbers game. At Visa, the SportsBetting Network, visa.com, Game Plus, Ihard Radio, YouTube TV. Sirius XM Channel 158, Gil Alexander, Kelly Midland. Oh! In the house. I just said off air.

I said, I'm way too nonchalant about getting in this seat on time and you said that's another one no one ever says no one's ever shalant no one's shalant no one's shalant no one's all nonchalant no one's ever shalant yeah if i was shalant that would mean i'd be i'd be riddled with anxiety is that what you're saying I guess. I don't know. Okay. I don't think that's a word. I don't know.

Maybe it is. Glad we got that taken care. That's right. Got that out of the way. On the show today, Nick Whalen on the NBA. Oh my goodness. I mean, Spurs O KC, classic. Nick's cabs were like, we got something for you, though. Let's just listening live to Cleveland Sports Talk Radio this morning. That's got to be fun. We'll just step aside. You can listen to Cleveland Sports Talk Radio. That's got to be fun today. Will Hill, all his bets, NBA, MLB, and more. Always got to, you can't sleep on more. That's good stuff.

Todd Wishnab wants to talk about a few MLB things, so we will indulge him later. Wishnet Wednesdays. Paul Spoor, Major League Baseball as well. We'll do it all. And then maybe a little later on because we talked so much about O's yesterday, maybe at the end of the show, will go back in time and re-air one of the bits that O's did with us. Yeah. I don't think we've done that a long time. That was kind of a nothing burger for me after when it was all said and done yesterday. We went back and we listened to the rest. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know what? I'm glad they did it. I'm glad we defended O's and just, you know, just sort of a brief take-in on everything. I don't think people were happy with the sort of attack on him. Yeah, I don't. I'm glad they did it because we and I've been wondering about some of the tricks and stuff for years. You know what I mean? So I'm still glad they did it, but I don't really know what the big point was, I guess.

All right. Last night, ladies and gentlemen, I mean, we have stepped it up at these conference finals.

The New York Knicks come back from a 22 point deficit with under eight minutes to play to not only beat the Cleveland

Cavaliers, but impossibly cover the number of minus seven.

This game started out like, you know, the whole, the whole first three quarters in change,

this was, speaking of it, nothing burger.

This was like whatever,

whatever the opposite of a classic was, that was it. New York Knicks coming off a nine-day break.

Cleveland went up by as many as six early, but at 13 to 8, Knicks went on a 12-0-0 run,

took a 20 to 13 lead. They led 23 to 16 after the first quarter. Brunson had 10 at that point.

Cavs were two of 12 from behind the arc.

Nicks were one of 10 from behind the arc.

So, I mean, not only talk about the total as well,

this already was like an underfest from the beginning.

Oh, yeah.

Second quarter, Nick's biggest lead was 38 to 27. And then the worm turn, 10 to nothing Cavs run to cut it to 38, 37, part of a 21 to 8 run to close the half. Cavs led by a bucket at the break, 48, 46. Mitchell had 16. Brunson had 14 at that point. Cavs had stepped up their three-point shooting. They were 8 of 21.

Nix remained 2 of 19 from behind the arc.

That's 10.5% Kelly did the math for you.
