The New York Knicks are two simple wins away from doing something that, yes, I don't think I ever thought was possible.

Are you over your loser and this yet? Can you now see it after two straight wins on the road and knowing the history of being up to O after winning two games on the road?

Yeah. Can you see the Knicks winning a championship yet? Forget about me for a second. I was talking to a buddy of mine who's a die-hard Nick fan, like die-dye-dye-hard Nick fan, who's also a Yankee fan, so he's experienced winning, and a jet fan. He has not experienced winning. And he's a confident guy, confident fan. He said something to me, and I think

it represents a lot of Nick fans as we go into the most anticipated game Madison Square

Garden is hosted in decades. He said, I'm nervous. Not because he doesn't trust this team. How can

you not? They haven't lost the game since mid-April, but he's nervous because he's this close.

And you guys are this close.

So it's not about- Why does that make him nervous?

Because you can taste it.

And when you're this close, you have no reason basketball-wise to not believe in this team.

I think every Nick fan does.

But when you get this close, you can smell it, you can taste it, and the nerves

start to build. And don't confuse nerves with not believing you're going to do it.

Right. But I think that as you get closer, you're starting to think and dream about something

that most Nick fans couldn't imagine, which is they may win a championship. Yeah.

They're likely to win a championship.

It's kind of the hard thing about basketball is it's so spread out, especially at this point.

It felt like the Eastern Conference Finals, Western Conference Finals, the second round.

It felt like those games were closer together.

So it was happening right on top of the world.

Every game was every other night. Obviously, it's been two days since game two. Right. So it just feels like Friday was a long time ago. And then, or whatever, game two, which was Friday. Yeah. It was a long time ago. But then you go back to game one, which was Wednesday. It just, it feels so long that this has been going on. You have time to think. You have time to think. It's too much, you can go on in your mind. It's not like one day off and then we're right back in it. It's three days, it feels like. And it's just, it makes you overthink. Yeah. And I think when you start to overthink, you start to either get wacky with negativity,

right?
