Oh, I have heard it. And I do like the cream colored uniforms. I think that's a good look. But like when I was growing up in Milwaukee, I never said, hey, school's out. I got to get back to my home in the cream city. No, I don't know. No, that's not part of my Milwaukee lexicon.

The cream city, you mean?

I prefer to call it the mean streets of Milwaukee so that folks think that I had a hard scrabble the first eight years of my life. No one thinks that.

Yeah. Thank you so much. I don't know about Giannis, but you know what? He has been very loyal to that city, and if— But a man has limits, so if they get knocked out in the first round here by Indiana, which I told you don't sleep on Indiana, I could see him wanting to test the waters somewhere else. The team that is better than the Celtics is blank. Is maybe OKC. Can I put the qualifier in there?

If you're a coward.

But, man, I know they're young, but, man, they are so deep and they have so many pieces that you need. Look, you talk about beating the Celtics four times. Yeah, that's going to be tough. You beat OKC four times, and you're showing me something.

See, that's difficult for me to say because we do have the Eastern Conference finals. So I expect Boston to be one of the locales for our final road show on TNT. I would think that... I would think that that's coming down to Boston and don't sleep on the Pacers and work Cleveland or Indiana. Do you expect Houston to get out of the first round? I do not. I like that team.

I like what they got going on. And I think, you know, Sam Amick with The Athletic wrote a great article earlier this year where he talked about Ime Udoka. and his philosophy, and he's kind of trying to turn this Houston team into like a modern day bad boys. You know, we don't take any stuff off anybody and and we are tough and they are. But I think that they don't shoot the ball well enough.

And I think and again, here's the thing. Look at Jimmy Butler can't play. And I don't know what the MRI is going to show, but if Jimmy Butler can't play for Golden State, then I think Houston wins that series. So you've got to allow me a qualifier every now and then, and don't call me a coward for saying that.
