We're going to take a shot at the NBA playoffs here.

0:02.7

I was watching all three games last night.

0:06.4

My God, the Knicks held the largest halftime lead in a playoff game in NBA history.

0:16.0

In a game six up three, two, they led the Atlanta Hawks by 47 at halftime. 47 points. 83 to 36. They didn't score for the final

0:30.7

minute 48 of the first half. I thought they had a very good chance and they had some open looks over the final

0:38.1

minute 48 of the first half to actually get to 90 at halftime and maybe increase the lead

0:44.5

to 50 plus. The lead was at 50 at one point in the first half and climbed even higher than that

0:52.3

in the second half. They ended up winning the game by 51.

0:55.5

51 points they won the game by 140 to 89.

1:33.9

I actually think with Embed, the 76ers, wouldn't be the best matchup for the Knicks, but there's going to be a lot of Knicks conversation coming off what they did from down to 1 in that series.

1:48.3

They destroyed Atlanta in three straight games by 16, by 29, and then by 51 points.

1:57.2

After losing back-to-back, one-point games. They'll get the winner of the Celtics

2:03.3

76ers series, which is now knotted at three games apiece. Game 7 tomorrow at 730 on NBC,

2:16.3

a seventh in deciding game between Philadelphia and Boston. For you old heads

2:20.6
