Today is Wednesday, April 17th and PFT. I got a question for you. Pop quiz, hot shot. I got an answer for you. Okay. Is it better to be up three at the end of a game with three seconds left or be up four? This is a tough analytics question that is hotly debated in the math community. Reggie Miller asked this question tonight, and I said to myself, thank God, because I've

been saying this for years.

I'd almost rather be of three points than four points, big cat.

The best part about Reggie Miller asking is...

Do you want to know why?

Why?

Tell me.

Yeah, I don't know, because I've got a brain injury.

So the best part about Reggie Miller asking this question, it was the Lakers' Pelicans

game, which will get to both games, playing games. But the best part about him asking this question, the situation was the Lakers were up to with 2.7 seconds left, they get fouled, and he says out loud and you could hear his brain like turning on out loud. He was like, if you make the first one, you're up three. Do you try to purposely

miss the second one because they don't have any time out so they have to go coast to coast? And then he finished it was saying, or do you just make them both go up foreign game over? Like at the end, he was like, wait, shit, four points. Yeah, that would be game over. He tied it together nicely at the end, which was good. But for a second, I was with you. I was like, wait, and I'm talking me wrong.

I'm a big, you don't need a three here guy.

Like that's my favorite. He tied it together nicely at the end, which was good. But for a second, I was with you. I was like, wait, and I'm talking me wrong

I'm a big you don't need a three here guy

Like that's that's my favorite thing to say at the end of a game if there's one second left

If there's half a second left if you're down at four points
