It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the BetRivers Network.

Hello, good, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network as we join you on this rainy, well, on and off rainy, Friday evening after a very, very tough game number two.

Now, put this series in perspective, the Knicks lost a game one at home that if they replayed from the point where they were up 15, a 14 with 250 left, or the point where they were up nine inside the final minute, they would win the game 500 times out of 500 times.

That was a 10,000 to one shot.

Everything had to go wrong.

When you get that kind of collapse, not one thing can go wrong for the team that is trying to make the dramatic comeback. But the Knicks for the night did some things that should have made that a winning effort.

There was things you could take from that game.

Tonight's game, which was a very strange game.

It had very little flow.

It was a game that was kind of like a counterpuncher.

You punch, I counter punch, you punch, I counter punch.

It was a game that the Knicks should have had a substantial lead, not a three-point lead at the half,

but the Pacers got a crazy performance from Siakum, who had a bad for him first game.

And I've said for a while that I felt Seaccombe was probably the most underrated player in the league.

He's an unusual player, but in that you don't have to run a lot of things for him.

He can score in a variety of ways.

He can get out on a break and score.

He can get a three in score.

He can hit the turnaround.

He can take it hard to the hole.

He cleans up a lot of mess.

He can be quiet some games and then very explosive some games.
