03 hole against the New York Knicks. As you know, no team has come back from an O3 deficit. Only four teams in NBA history have forced a game seven after going down 03. Things are not great when it comes to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but things are still pretty good for me because I'm joined by my co-host, Carter Rodriguez. Carter, how you doing, buddy?
