No, I wasn't. You were hearing about this a little bit. I mean, we can talk about whether or not we're shocked based on this next season. It's tough because you're playing the Pacers.

And if you take a step back and not get emotional about it the next morning and you look at this Knicks season and you're like, all right, this team hadn't been in the Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years. I mean, there's a Knicks conversation about this team winning a title before I was even born where you're like, man, we talk about this team a lot.

Although you probably say the same thing about the Red Sox prior to 2004, where you're like, you know, there's a lot of Knicks conversation.

four, but you know, they were up what nine and 11 points in three minutes ago. So they're probably gonna win that game anyway. And that's a huge, huge statement. And I think on the whole, you have to feel really good about who the Knicks were this year in comparison to who they've been. But there was definitely a lot of lingering stuff.

And even the last two days, you were just hearing like, he's out. Bill had mentioned it on the pod where he thought he'd be out. I was actually at a lunch yesterday where like, yeah, he's, he's probably done. And

Tibbs is without question the most impressive single person I've ever talked to about basketball. Like he made me after five minutes go like, holy shit, do I not know anything?
