| 0:12.2 | Welcome everybody to Prop Points. |
| 0:14.2 | Jeff Erickson here with Nick Whalen. |
| 0:16.1 | We are with RotoWire.com. |
| 0:18.3 | Got a fun show on top for you today. |
| 0:20.3 | Obviously, we've got to talk NBA again. Two nights in a row, we've had epic game ones. Last night, the Knicks pulling off the huge comeback against the calves. Len Hockberg is going to join us to talk to CJ Cup, Byron Nelson, followed by Zachary Cohen joining us too. So double guest Wednesday. I love double guest Wednesday. Always one of my fun, fun shows there for that. We'll finish the show with my best |

| 0:46.9 | Points podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcast. Nick, we did it. We saw it |
| 0:52.9 | again. Another epic game one didn't look like it was |
| 0:55.7 | going to be an epic game one. The MSG was dead. The garden was so quiet. It was a mausoleum. |
| 1:01.9 | And then it was roaring with a huge comeback to end the game. I feel terrible, Jeff, that on |
| 1:08.3 | the show yesterday, I referred to this as the JV series relative to OKC in San Antonio, which, look, it technically is. |
| 1:15.5 | But that says more about the West than it does the East. |
| 1:18.0 | I think we actually ended up with the most fun possible series in the Easter conference, especially if you're taking Boston out of the mix. |
| 1:24.8 | And look, we talked a little bit yesterday about, you know, would you would you rather face Detroit? Would you rather face Cleveland if you're the New York Knicks? I think we saw both the good and the bad of facing the Cavaliers for the first like 44 minutes of this game. You could see how dangerous this cavalier's team could be, even when they're not even playing all that well. You know, Donovan Mitchell was on for most of the night. The two big men were giving Carl Anthony Town some trouble. The biggest issue, of course, is that the New York Knicks just could not hit any open shots for the bulk of this game. I believe they were two of 19 from beyond the arc in the first half. But the script completely flipped. And it didn't really flip Jeff until almost the halfway point in the |
| 2:01.3 | fourth quarter. Knicks end the game, including overtime on a 44 to 11 run. The cab scored three |
| 2:06.7 | points in the overtime period, predictably after blowing that huge lead. They were up 22 points with |
| 2:13.2 | 739 left in the fourth quarter. Just a complete collapse on both ends. I thought from the Cavaliers. I know James Hardin has taken a lot of heat for for his defense on Brunson late in the game. I'm going to be honest. I didn't actually think it was that bad. I think Jalen Brunson was just hitting some really, really difficult shots, you know, some of the angles he was using off the backboard to rattle some of those layups in down the stretch. There's not a whole lot you could do about that. But the cavalier's shifting into like prevent keep away offense for the final seven minutes is what doomed them. Just dribble, dribble, dribble, throw up a contested three. You know, they were not acting as though this was a, you know, a tight game when it, when it did tighten up in terms of taking care of the ball. Turnovers were once again a massive issue for the cavaliers and even more so in the first half of the game where they turned it over 11 times. And I thought we're very fortunate to be in that they were two nights in a row, Jeff. We've had absolute banger game ones. We have also had incredibly improbable betting results. Like if you hit the over |
| 3:08.6 | in game one between the spurs and the thunder, you should be thanking your lucky stars. The over was |
| 3:13.2 | dead all night in in game one between the Knicks and the Cavs last night. That ends up cashing |
| 3:18.6 | by a half a half. Knicks minus six and a half, seven and a half, whatever number you got. Just in all time, |
| 3:23.8 | all time cash. That was completely dead. The entire. Our McCall Bridges, two plus steals. Jeff, that was dead the entire night. It finally came through in the final minute of overtime. These have been two just wildly, wildly improbable results so far. But we are set up, I think, for two incredible series. My question to you, |
