Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber.

It's Evan and Tiki on W-FAN, The Fan, 101-FM, and always live on the free Odyssey app.

We're going to have to have a very uncomfortable conversation, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a therapy Wednesday on the heels of not just the Islander season ending,

but the New York Knicks collapsing at Madison Square Garden where we all thought, we all thought, I thought it,

Tiki thought it, Lugi thought it, my Breen thought it, Clyde thought it, we all thought

there was about to be a party on 8th Avenue and everything changed as the New York mix choked

away an opportunity to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers and the series in 5.

And that's the most important thing we need to do right off the top.

Whether you are a diehard Nick fan, whether you are a casual Nick fan, whether you are an independent

basketball observer, sometimes the simplest and most important thing you need to do is to identify

what happened.

So let's identify it.

The New York Knicks choked last night.

Okay?

That does not mean they're going to lose this series. That

does not mean that they're going to lose in Philadelphia tomorrow night. It

don't mean anything other than what happened last night was and we got to call it for what it was they choked it away and if that hurts your feelings or that's uncomfortable I'm going to present to you along with Tiki barber the test of choking are you

ready yes I don't know the choking test here it is because we all thought

just for the record we all thought that when Joe Lumbed had a. B. had a ball ticked away by Mitchell Robinson

and O.G. dunked it to put him up by five with a buck thirty nine to go.

We all thought the game was over.
