[upbeat music] Coming up on a special Saturday edition of The Zach Lowe Show, Michael Pina is here. And you know where the New York Knicks are? One game away from their first NBA finals in 27 years. The New York Knicks, the Knickerbockers of New York City, the greatest city in the world, are finally on the doorstep of making the finals again after a fairly emphatic road win in Cleveland to go up 3-0. Uh, Michael and I talk about the game. Do the Cavs have any chance to get back in this thing? What does the sweep mean for the future of the Cavs? But mostly, let's zoom out and appreciate and admire and think about, how did the Knicks get here? What's changed for them in the playoffs? Why are they humming like this? And can they actually win the whole goddamn thing for the first time in 53 years? This city is about to go insane if they actually make the finals. The World Cup will be going on here at the same time. It's... I can't even imagine the chaos.
