Knicks are playing the Spurs.
The Spurs are in New York.
Halftime, they're up something like 29 points. They got a lead. Everyone's saying the game is over. Dilly stays with me and says, Dad, please don't say anything because I don't think it's over. Good for Dilly boy. We sit till to the very end.
And then go into fourth quarter, they got a 15 point lead. And then in the fourth quarter, they take the 15 point lead and they end up winning by one point, the biggest comeback in the history of NBA finals, maybe even playoff history ever, but it's definitely the finals. It was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my life. Charles Barkley, I don't know if you have this clip or not, Charles Barkley called it hands down the worst officiating he's ever seen in his life. He said, this is the dumbest officiating I've ever seen in my life. I'll send it to you. It was so embarrassing. And by the way, if you're watching this, if you were a Knicks fan and you were at that game, guess what? You probably attended the greatest Knicks game ever. So if you paid $50,000 for it or whatever the ticket price was, you got your moneys worth. Halftime, is this it? This is it. Watch this clip, folks. Go ahead. Terrible.

**Charles Barkley** (1:48)
That was a dumbass play. He did not have to shoot that ball.
They could have just got fouled. There was no reason for him to shoot that ball.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:00)
The video I just sent you, you had a portion of it. Go to the video I just sent you and watch what he says here. It's a little longer. Watch this. Watch this clip here by Barkley. It makes a very good point. Go ahead.
Refresh. Oh, you can't do it. Okay.

**Charles Barkley** (2:16)
The dumbest basketball team in the history of civilization. We saw they had a 25-point lead to eight straight threes.
They thought to get, that was some of the most mismanaged stupid basketball. Hey, when you pull a 29-point lead, the other team has to help you. When you come back from 29-point, the other team has to help you.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:41)
When you come back from 29-point, the other team has to help you. You can pause it right there. So are they playing tonight? Is the next game tonight?

**Tom Ellsworth** (2:47)
The next game is Saturday night. Saturday night.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:49)
Saturday night. Tomorrow night. So what do you think is going to happen? It's back in the Spurs, I think. Right back in San Antonio?

**Adam Sosnick** (2:54)
There's no way the Spurs can lose it. Like, hold on, the fact that they got a 29-point lead means they're obviously ridiculously good, but that's a failure. There's no way they're going to lose at home this game. That's my prediction.

**Tom Ellsworth** (3:09)
I mean, I don't know who's looking down on the Knicks right now. Some say it's Allah, some say it's Jesus, some say it's Hashem. I don't know.
The series should be 2-2 right now. Stephen A. Smith should be, he's feuding with Trump right now. He should be crying and begging for a Game 6 in New York.
Ultimately, here's what I think is going to happen. It's going back to San Antonio. San Antonio is going to win game 5 tomorrow night. They're going to win. It should be a 2-2 series. They should be going back to New York, up 3-2. They're going to be going back to New York, down 2-3.
New York Knicks, Madison Square Garden, Game 6 Everyone's been saying, Nixon 6, Nixon 6, Nixon 6
I'm sorry to disappoint you. I think the Spurs are the better team. I think the Knicks by the glory of Allah. Shout out to Mom Donnie, are somehow ahead in this series. I don't know what's going on here. I think the Spurs, I don't know if they need a coaching pep talk. I don't know if Charles Barkley needs to walk in there, slap some people around. I don't know if they got to bring back David Robinson and Tim Duncan and Manu Janobli. They need to wake up and realize Wembay. Stop chucking threes from half court. Get your tall skinny ass in the court and start dunking on people. And Darren Fox, your former all-star, wake up, buddy. And there's a, by the way, a superstar, Stephen Castle, Stephon Castle, and the other kid that's Ron Harper's son. Ron Harper came to the boardroom. That guy's incredible. But by the way, most underrated best player in the NBA is Jalen Brunson. If they win, it's because of Brunson. I think the Spurs are going to pull this thing off still. Call me New York hater all you want.
