It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.

All right, Boomer and Geo coming you live.

The Build Forward Tuft Studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network.

Game 3 tomorrow, 3.30, Nick Celtics.

I heard a semantics conversation between CMA at a caller this morning about must win and what a must win means and how the caller said game three is a must win and CMAQ said it can't be a must win if the series isn't over and the guy said well series could be over if they lose and it gives the Celtics confidence to come back in the series.

But if you do win, then the series definitely is over.

And I understand it's not a technical must win.

But if the Knicks do win this game, one thing I'm confident in, as wacky as this series is, that they're not losing four in a row.

There's no way they're losing four in a row it

hasn't happened in the NBA right i know it's happened in the nchel it hasn't happened in the NBA a team being

down three o coming back and winning four straight i don't believe so yeah so that it from so from that

standpoint you want to say must win to move on to the next round it's about as close to a lock as you can get. Now, if you lose it, it doesn't mean you're going to lose the series.

So it's like a half of a must win.

Like if you win, you feel pretty good about moving on.

If you lose, you still have an opportunity to win.

You know, did you think that the Celtics would lose three in a row to the Knicks?

Did you think they'd lose both games at home?

No. Who knows what happens? Shakil O'Neill is on the side of the caller who called this,

I believe it was Shaq. They called this a must win for the Knicks if they want to advance

because he believes the same thing that if you give the Celtics life, that they might become

the Celtics again. That having been said to me, split these two. Like if you're the Knicks, if you end up going back to Boston up 3-1 where you know you can win,

you give yourself two serious cracks at ending it before game seven.
