Whatever it is that you need. We will not have NBA hoops over the weekend. The NBA Finals matchup is set with the Celtics and the Mavericks. So no Game 1 until a week from tonight. So this time next week we'll be talking about the winner of the opener in the Finals. As for hockey, we could very well be headed for Game 7s. I think they would be Monday and Tuesday. Don't quote me on that but they'd be still a few days away. We gotta see. But there's potential for sudden death OT in a Game 7 which is like your brain on drugs. The speed kind.

Remember those old ads where the egg got fried in a pan and this was your brain and then this was your brain on drugs? Not that. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence on Twitter at Amy After Hours and we're asking you in light of Kyrie and the Boston Celtics fans headed for a sweet, snarky, scintillating reunion. Who is public enemy number one for your team, your favorite team, your fan base and think big picture. I know you could probably pick a different one for each of the eras or each year but not that. Let's do big picture. The fan base as a whole, you love to hate which guy. Which athlete.

Maybe it's a female depending upon who your favorite team is. So find our post on either Twitter or Facebook and we're already seeing your answers come in. They're fantastic. We'll share them as we get through the show. Also, producer Jay chose an Anakin Skywalker gift which means of course that I'm all about it. Our phone number 855-212-4227. I'm all about it because it's my question anyway.

But 855-212-4227 Star Wars is where it's at people. We had game five at Madison Square Garden. Panthers, Rangers, you know the winner of game five in a tie series goes on to advance better than 80% of the time. He whips it on and a right hand save made by Bobrovsky and the rebound is taken out of harm's way. Then on for Lundell, left side of the circle. Lundell a shot and he scores! And Todd Lundell gives the Panthers their first lead of the night.

He lets it rip out of the left circle. It's 2-1 with 9.38 to play here in the third. Our starts haven't been great, haven't been what we wanted but it just seems like as the game goes on we're getting better and better. I think that contributes to our composure and our willingness to keep playing the same way and not trying to change our game.

The Panthers who were the Eastern Conference champs a year ago lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final. They're on the verge yet again. Sam Bennett points to how they never panic in games regardless of what's happening on the ice. The Rangers won't panic either but now the season is on the line in game number six. Backs against the wall here.

We're a pretty resilient group. I think we've responded well all year to situations where we want to get a win. So obviously season on the line going there and not much more than saying just need to get the win there.

That's Adam Fox of the Rangers and no relation to Luke Fox who is now joining us from New York City after covering game five and really covering the entire series but game five at Madison Square Garden. It's been pretty tight all series long. Once again in this game five Luke it's very tight. What would you say is ultimately the difference in the Panthers winning this game?

Well I think it's their patience. You know I think the Rangers actually had one of their better starts and looked up to the task and I thought they were the lesser team in the two previous games down in Florida even though they won one of them. But the Rangers came out strong. They had more zone time than they normally did. They weren't one and done.

They were cycling around. They were drawing some penalties. They looked like they were ready to go toe to toe with the Panthers.

But the third period that's when it all flipped and the third periods in general have really favored Florida. They've been really strong. And I wonder if some of that has to do with their conditioning. A lot of the players have have talked about how hard training camp was and how training camp kind of prepared them for this moment. And then the other part of it I think is they know what the grind like having just been through it a year ago most of the core of this team went all the way to the cup final in 2023 and they weren't as healthy back then as they are now.

So I think it's a healthier group a well-conditioned group and a more experienced group. So they're comfortable in those tight games and then they just took over control of the play five on five. They waited for a turnover and the Lindell goal proved to be the difference. They needed the empty netter but that was really the key turning point. About midway through that third period when they were able to break that tie. But you said you felt like the Rangers played better in this game five.

What did they do differently themselves? Well for one I think a lot of their big names had been really quiet through the first four games. Right. Like Crider no points.

The Vantage had no points. Panarin no goals. Panarin didn't get on the score sheet but he was buzzing.

He led all skaters with 11 shot attempts. He looked way more engaged and involved. He was a threat. Crider got his third shorthanded goal of the postseason. He was great tonight and then the Vantage had got two primary assists. He helped set up both goals. Yeah they got two goals and two nice ones but it's just not enough.

Shusurkin was up to the task again too. So you know their penalty kill was good. Their goalie was good. Their stars showed up and it still wasn't enough. And in saying all that it makes you wonder yeah the Rangers won the president's trophy but maybe they're running into a team that might just be better than them. Even though they're showing improvement maybe Florida is just too good.

You have to wonder that at this point. Luke why is it that teams have such a challenging time adjusting to what the Panthers do on the ice? I think it starts with their forecheck. They're incredibly fast and they're incredibly fierce.

And it's rare that you have both of those in one hockey team. They're kind of tailor made to succeed at this time of year. They just love to dump pucks in and they're very structured. Paul Maurice has them all bought into a system and they just attack. They make it really difficult for the opposing team's defense to break the puck out cleanly because they're just on them. They swarm them. They wear them down.

And I think the longer a series goes on the more of a toll that takes on them. And then when they're in their own zone they don't panic. They stick to their structure and they kind of wait for the Rangers to make a mistake. I think of the deciding goal in overtime in Game 4.

Zabanejad tries to create something. He tries to force a puck east-west across the blue line and then they just pick that up and counter-attack. The Lundell goal was the same thing. It was a counter-attack goal. The giveaways tonight were 12 for the Rangers.

One for Florida. They're very organized and disciplined in their structure. So they wait for the other team to make a mistake and they're fine waiting. And then when the other team does cough it up, they pounce.

They have enough speed and skill to make you pay. Luke Fox is with us from New York City after Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. He covers the NHL for Sportsnet and it's after hours with Amy Lawrence. Previous three games go into overtime. Another one-goal game in this one. So even as you're talking about the Panthers and their system and how they stick to their identity, which is really impressive, the Rangers have managed to keep it close. Looking ahead to a Game 6, if they don't take chances, how do they create a different type of pace and get the game on their own terms, so to speak?

Yeah, well it's going to be a challenge for sure. I mean, one thing is this Rangers group has been incredibly resilient, right? They've found ways to win. They have more comeback victories than any team, I believe in history, certainly more than any team this season.

Yes. So they are resilient and I'll give them that. It'd be foolish to expect anything but another tight game. So every game has been a one-goal game except for Game 1 and that was basically a one-goal game because it was 3-1 with an empty netter and a flukey own goal. They're comfortable playing these tight games. I think they're just going to have to hope that, you know, Babrowski is one save worse than Shisterkin.

I do think Shisterkin, even though the Rangers' trail has been the better goalie in this series, and they just have to get more pucks to the net, sustain some ozone time. Maybe that means getting in on their forecheck. They like to create off the rush. And the other thing they need to do, which has been arguably their biggest failing, is they've only got one power play goal. Their power play is letting them down. And part of that is, hey, you've got to tip the cap and say, Florida has a really good penalty kill.

They really swarm. It's an aggressive penalty kill and they've been successful so far. But the Rangers were one of the best power play teams in the whole league all season coming into the playoffs. They were the best power play team in the East.

That's part of their identity and it hasn't shown up yet. I think about the third period. They get the power play. Florida didn't get a single power play in that third period. That was an opportunity for them to finally swing it their way, make it 2-1 for New York. But they haven't taken advantage enough on special teams and that's kind of been their undoing. So, hey, if they can wake that up, if they get a power play goal, if they get to Babrowski, I'm not saying they're completely done. But it's a must win and even if they win that one, the next one's a must win. So they're facing elimination for the first time all season. The pressure is solely on New York now. This is more of a quirky question because we hear it.

I'm not sure I believe it. The President's Trophy curse and the Rangers, of course, did have the best record in the regular season. Why is it so hard for the best team over the course of 82 games to then go on and win the Stanley Cup?

Yeah, I don't know if it's a curse. I think it just speaks to the parity of the league. It's not as if the President's Trophy team, you know, gets outclassed. I mean, the Boston Bruins went out in the first round last year to these Florida Panthers.

But they lost to the team that went all the way and it took them seven games and they came very close to winning that series. I think part of it is the parity of the league, the nature of the sport. I think there's a little bit more luck involved in hockey than in, say, basketball, where after every possession the other team automatically gets possession.

There's a little more of a randomness, you know, with frozen rubber on ice, right? Part of it's that and I think the parity goes back to the NHL instituting a salary cap. So you can't, you know, really stack a team to a point and have them dominate. And hey, there's no shame. I don't think it's a curse if they lose to this Panthers team.

There's no shame in it. It's really one of the better Final Fours in recent memory. All four of these teams, none of them fluked their way into this. You know, in the West, Dallas and Edmonton are serious teams that have been on long runs before and just haven't gotten it done.

So all these teams are legitimate. There's no shame if the Rangers eventually do fall because they're going up against one heck of an opponent. Luke Fox is with us talking Eastern Conference Finals and we're just one step away from the Stanley Cup Final.

It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. How much do the Panthers still talk about that loss to Vegas last year? You mentioned their health, of course, but how much does it drive them? Oh, for sure. You talk to any athlete that gets that close and it's kind of all they think about, right? Like once you've gotten that taste of going on such a long run, like the rung that you can almost grab, but you just can't.

It just remains out of reach. And I think that the expectations are different this time around. When you think back to last year, they were the eighth seed. They were the scrappy underdog. Hey, we had to fight and scratch and claw our way just to get into the playoffs. No one gave us a chance against Boston. No one gave us a chance against Toronto. They were the underdog the whole way. So they were kind of using that in their favor. But when you talk to them now, it's more like, OK, we arrived at training camp pretty much knowing we're going to be a playoff team and pretty much knowing that we're thinking Stanley Cup. We're not thinking we've got to get to the playoffs.

The expectations have been raised. And one thing that's really working in their favor is the health is there. They were a really battered team by the time they got to Vegas. And it became pretty evident early on in that twenty three cup final that they just didn't have it, that they were outmatched. They didn't have the depth or the health to compete with Vegas, which was a much healthier team. Who knows if they would have beaten them even if they were at full health, but they were hobbling. A couple of guys went for surgery right after that series. But it sounds like this group is healthy, you know, according to the coach. And no core member looks significantly injured. And they've been able to even bring in fresh legs on the fourth line just because, hey, we want to inject some guys that have been sitting for a while.

So to be as healthy as they are at this late of stage is really remarkable. Luke, what have you heard about the ice from the players at MSG? Yeah, not as good as in Florida, which is kind of ironic, right? You think that Panthers arena, Ameren Bank Arena is right next to a swamp. Like you would think it would be harder to keep to keep that ice cold. It was like 100 degrees down there. Not that it's not muggy in New York City, but yeah, the players definitely say that that the ice is better in Florida.

I think maybe because the newer building, I don't know. But yeah, it gets a little bit choppy at MSG. But hey, that's to be expected. You're playing a winter sport in late May. Now it's the same for both teams, right? So I always kind of hate that excuse because both teams are playing on the same ice.

But maybe you have to adjust a little bit, maybe make the safer play. I think it was even evident just watching the game play. Some of the passes weren't as crisp.

The speed wasn't quite there. I mean, the colder the ice, the faster the play, the smoother the play, less chance of the puck bobbling. And I think you could just see that watching the games. I'd love to ask your reaction to what we've seen so far in the West where we've got a 2-all tie between Edmonton and Dallas. Yeah, it's a doozy. It feels even more difficult to predict, as tight as the East has been.

And that's because it seems like no lead is safe. And the momentum swings between Dallas and the momentum swings have been insane. Like, one team will get up 2-0 in the first period, and then they'll lose 5-2. And you'll think that one team has the game in total control.

And then a switch will get flipped, and it starts going the other way. A really fascinating series because I feel like it's two teams built almost polar opposite. Edmonton has the high, high, high-end skill in terms of Connor McDavid and Leon Dreyseidel. You can debate where they rank in the top five players that play the sport right now. But both of them are in that category. And then Dallas has, for my money, the best depth of any team in the NHL. Able to roll four lines. I think Dallas has the superior goaltending because Skinner for the Oilers has kind of been up and down.

So I'd like to give them the edge there. It's kind of all over the map. It's going to be a great two to three more games in the West as well. Where does Lord Stanley's Cup reside until we get to the next round? It's still at the Hall of Fame in Toronto. It doesn't enter the building until an elimination game. Until it can actually be won, the superstition is that it can't be in the building.

Not until a clinching game will it make an appearance. But funny story, they used to not even bring it until late in the third period because of some silly old hockey superstition. But then it got caught in traffic. And it showed up late one year.

I forget what year it was, but it showed up late. So then they're like, okay, let's get it in the building. There is no better entrance for a trophy than for Lord Stanley's Cup. It's iconic alone, just the hardware. Forget actually winning it.

You need white gloves to handle it. Yes, absolutely. Alright, good stuff.

We're getting closer to the end of these final four series. So you can find Luke on Twitter at LukeFoxJukebox. Also covers music and does some freelance writing there.

But mostly NHL for Sports Net. It's great to catch up with you. Thank you so much for a couple of minutes.

Alright, thanks Amy. This was fun. It was fun. It's a lot of fun this time of the year. Even as we're down to just a handful of teams who can win Lord Stanley's Cup.

And also two who can win the NBA Finals. No men's hoops. Nothing until we get to next week at this time. So you can take a deep breath. I don't know if you'll miss it.

That's not really the question on the table. The question instead is in light of Kyrie returning to Boston where he had to ward off evil spirits with sage on the court. And where the Boston fans will remind him why they're so happy to see him.

Maybe every time he touches the ball in game number one. Who is public enemy number one for your team? Or your city?

Oh, so is money, though. It's after hours with Amy Lawrence. You are listening to the After Hours podcast. Here on After Hours, we like you as much as you like us. Welcome to After Hours, CBS Sports Radio. Hi, Amy.

First time caller on the show. I think you're doing great. I've been listening to you tonight. Thank you, sir.

You're welcome. Thanks for having me. I'll get my introduction out the way as fast as possible. Thanks to meet you, Amy. I'm actually new.

My first time phoning in. Sweet. So I am new among your listeners.

I'm a newbie to After Hours. Sweet. Welcome. Awesome. Awesome.

Awesome. Hello, Amy. How are you?

I'm good. Thank you. Thanks for taking my call.

I've listened to a lot of sports talk radio over the years. I never made a call. You've done such an excellent job tonight. First time calling. Amy, thank you for taking my call. I listen to your show every morning.

I've been traveling to Boston. Thank you. Good morning, Amy.

American woman. I love listening to you. I left Atlanta last night.

I'm all the way in Tuscaloosa. I've never lost reception. I just had to give CBS Sports the utmost shout-out this morning. Thank you, Amy.

It is so wonderful every time that I listen. I will call you next week. Love you all. Have a great morning.

I can't wait. Here's Amy Lawrence. Who is Public Enemy number one for your favorite team or your city, your fan base?

I see this tweet from Robert at Amy After Hours. As a Browns fan, it will always be Big Ben, referring to Ben Roethlisberger. I suppose it depends what era you watch the Browns or maybe when you first started watching Cleveland Browns football.

I would have said, if you asked me, this is just me, I'm an outsider. I would have said John Elway might be Public Enemy number one, but that would refer to Browns fans going back to say the 80s and the 90s. Remember the fumble and the drive, those two AFC championships against John Elway and the Denver Broncos. But times change, right?

So it's specific to your generation or your perspective. So that's why we're asking you, who is Public Enemy number one for your favorite team? And producer Jay is retweeting those, and we're getting some fun answers on Facebook as well, After Hours with Amy Lawrence, 855-212-4227. This is in honor of Kyrie Irving and a reunion with the Boston Celtics, for whom he played for two seasons before he decided he'd had enough. And he went to Brooklyn with Kevin Durant. That worked out well. That's how he ended up in Dallas. It worked out so well. On his respective trips back to Beantown, not only have they had choice words for Kyrie, Kyrie has had choice words for them. No love lost there, which will be tremendous. I love this kind of drama. Brian is listening in Colorado. Brian, who's Public Enemy number one in your opinion?

So I have two. The team would be back in the 90s and 2000s, the Detroit Red Wings for us Avalanche fans. Okay.

Those Rebels are crazy. And then Todd Bertuzzi would be the player after what he did, the Steve Moore breaking his neck. Mmm. I do remember that.

There's a lot of people that might list him as their Public Enemy number one. So this is speaking hockey then. I like it. Yeah. First time, long time listener, first time caller. So thank you for taking my call. Absolutely, Brian. Good to talk to you.

Have a great weekend. I love that. And we've got first time callers to the show because of a particular topic or question that we throw out there.

I don't know if this matters to you, but it is sort of funny. The way we get social media that can be used to stoke a rivalry or stoke the drama for a particular series. Shaquille O'Neal has already decided that Dallas is going to win the NBA Finals. So he made his NBA Finals pick saying that the Celtics do not have three or four guys that can guard Luca. I would be the first to tell you, I don't know how this series goes. I just hope that it goes deeper than what we got in the Conference Finals in both East and West.

And certainly last year, right? We're looking for an NBA Finals that goes deeper than what we got last year. However, as much as the Celtics may not have two, three, four equals for Luca Doncic, we know that at times between Luca and Kyrie, the ball can get stuck there, if you will, or they don't have enough help from elsewhere. The Celtics are deeper, even if they may not have someone who can go one on one with Kyrie.

Well, not someone. They don't have a revolving door, according to Shaq, who can constantly put pressure on Luca. I'm not even sure that's true. You have different guys who would face up and take that challenge. But on their end, the Celtics appear to be deeper. And they're also more experienced, more mature when it comes to the basketball.

They've had more of these games on the biggest stages. Not Luca, of course, not Kyrie, but beyond them. It's kind of funny because Luca was asked about the experience factor. He was asked about the Mavericks now going to the NBA Finals.

And for almost all of them, it's their first time. I think we have a young team outside of Kyrie, you know, Kyrie getting old. Of course. Of course he is. He's getting old. Didn't Anthony Edwards just call Mike Conley old as bleep? Conley's 36. What's Kyrie? 31? 32? For heaven's sakes.

It's amazing. And Luca's 25-26. He's not, I mean, he's, uh, he's 25. He yeah, this is, this is just wrong.

Old as bleep. You cannot have a young 20s call a mid 30s old. No. Sure you can. Let's see.

Let me figure out. I thought Kyrie was 31, but I'll check again. Oh no, he's 32. I think he's a 92 year like me.

Yeah, he turned 32 in March, so he's barely 32. By the way, we'll continue to read your responses to your public enemy number one, but it's been good to take a couple of phone calls. Do you have anything more you want to add, Marco? Again, for my personal, for my favorite teams, no, I think those are the Ortiz is definitely for me as the Yankee fan. He was the guy that was public enemy number one and as a Nick fan, it was always Jordan. Always Jordan.

Send him close. It's always Jordan. Yeah. Michael Jordan is probably public enemy number one for a lot of Detroit Pistons fans. Oh, they had two titles before. Yeah, they got him a few times.

Cleveland. Mark Elo is probably still a little annoyed. Craig Elo, I should say.

Mark Price. I got the two of them confused. Yeah, the Cavs fans I think are still a little salty. Anybody in Cleveland would say that LeBron is public enemy number one? If you do, get help. Right.

He did help you win your first and only NBA championship. Get help. Agreed. You can be annoyed at certain things.

He cannot be public enemy number one. Get help. I like that. So we'll take your calls.

855-212-4227. But before we get to the break, since Marco is in here, before we get to his updates, since Marco is in here, I know that you also heard this same as we've stumbled upon it and that would be a little ditty that Darren Waller, who may or may not play in the NFL this season, penned and performed for his now ex-wife, Kelsey Plumb, who's a WNBA star with the Aces. Yeah, we thought this might be a little bit of humor for our final show of the week. So again, song and music video about his recent breakup with Kelsey Plumb.

It's hard to give all of your soul and have your heart broken in one turn, but it's time. There's more. There are some other lines that are actually pretty humorous, but that's just a taste of Darren Waller. Now, he does do music on the side, so this is not completely out of the ordinary for him, but the fact that he penned a song and did a video, and apparently in the video, there's someone playing his former wife, an actress playing Kelsey Plumb, and there's a whole breakup scene where she's driving alongside. He gets up and leaves and the woman is driving alongside him as he's walking in her car until she finally speeds off and it's like country music stuff, I'm telling you. So this is the title of the song, Who Knew, in parentheses her perspective. So it's actually a little bit of a snatch, I think, from Taylor Swift, who's doing Taylor's version, right? So she's re-releasing her songs and it's Taylor's version.

This is Who Knew, her perspective. And anyway, so he goes on, the video is, well, it is what it is, but at some point, you might just laugh out loud. There are a few lines that I think would crack you up too, so. One thing I'll say is I would imagine he wrote this song because if someone actually got paid to write this, I'm a little concerned, honestly. And I can't write a song either, but this is, I mean, give me a break. The nights we opened up and we knew how much that you and I were real, how long I got to climb up this hill, I'm tired and I want to be still, imagine if we fell out of tune.

Oh, like your song? And then I think the line that's Bizarro World is cause the F word. That's the whole line. There's a line in the song, cause the F word.

Who knew that love could kill? If you take your time, you'll feel the weight fall off. Bleep what your plans are. Go ahead and call off. You tired of your day job.

We can go down that dirt road like some kids we can go play. Ah. Oh yeah. Did you have the scream? Cause the scream is tremendous. Did you have the scream? Oh, we gotta find the scream. Oh, it's just so bad. You laughing your face off, slide right down that highway.

We can take off. Why you want to run away? Ah.

Why can't you just stay? Ah. Hey, if this is how he expresses himself, maybe it was cathartic for him.

You know what? That's fine. Don't release it. Express it to yourself.

If it's cathartic for you. Why can't you just stay? Ah. Take your time.

What are we doing? I kind of like it the more I hear it. Oh no. Let me hear the scream again, cause I was kind of on top of it. Can you do the scream again, please? That wasn't the scream. That was just his ah.

There's another point at which the very next line where he goes, ah. I have to find it. All right, Jay, he'll find it for you. Maybe he'll drop it right in the middle of your update. See if you can keep going when he drops an ah from Darren Waller. I think that might be Hall of Flame material myself.

The after hours Hall of Flame. There are a lot of things we all need to be cathartic for ourselves, but that doesn't mean that everyone else needs to hear it. That's the difference. He is a musician. This is how he expresses himself. I don't care.

I don't care if you're a musician, if you're a public figure or not. Why does everybody have to release it for everybody else to hear what you're doing? Do what you got to do to get through the day. Don't tell everybody else.

The only thing is, there might be someone out there in the same position who needs to hear what Darren Waller has to sing. You don't need to hear that. Not that. Wait, there it was. There was the ah. Was that the scream?

Um, why you want to run away? Ah. Why can't you just say ah. That's unsyltic Drake, but kind of a rip off. Sounds just like Drake.

Does it? That's what sells Drake millions of albums? That's it. Come on. Is that synthesized? That was almost like exactly a Drake line.

Music and all. I wonder if Drake's going to claim that this was AI generated. He should. He should.

And then AI would collapse because that can't be the best that AI could do. Nobody would claim that. Nobody. Alright, coming up. We'll get to your calls. 855-212-4227. Who's public enemy number one for your favorite team? Darren Waller.

Darren Waller. That's a giant fan I agree. Well, how many people, how many fan bases would claim Josh McDaniels is public enemy number one?

I don't know. The Broncos might. The Raiders might. That's kind of fun.

The Colts would. For sure. It's good stuff.

You are listening to the After Hours Podcast. Tatum against Tatum. Tatum pushes off, steps back, three in the air, no good, rebound, Drew Holliday, four seconds to go. Take out Jalen. Can they get to him to commit the foul?

They cannot. And it's over. It's over. The Boston Celtics swarmed the floor.

This is After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Sean Grandy on Celtics radio. I sent him the clip from our show the other night when I was replaying a blurb I heard on a local New York news station in which they misidentified him, Sean, as Chris Hess, who is a tape operator who works in our newsroom, and somehow someone in their newsroom got it confused, had not heard of Sean, and thought the name Chris, the guy who pulled the highlight and put it into the computer system into our files, they didn't realize that they were so woefully off base. So I sent it to Sean. His only response was to send me back the video of him doing the final call of the Celtics Eastern Conference Finals victory because it's gone viral. He's gesturing and Sean is one of the best in the business. I know that there are many people who thought he might move to TV upon the retirement of Mike Gorman, who was the longtime Celtics TV play-by-play voice, but he is brilliant on radio and the good news is when you do radio you get to call the games all the way through the NBA Finals if your team goes that far. 855-212-4227 on Twitter, ALawRadio, on our Facebook page too, who's public enemy number one for your favorite team or for your city, your fan base? Tim is listening in Boston.

Tim, welcome to the show. I don't really have one, but I just want to let you know Sean Randy is classy, man. And Cedric Maxwell is very entertaining, you know?

They are. I actually went to Sean's wedding, so I know him well. We're good friends and I think he is the best.

He's very entertaining, but other than that, what I do is I go up to the casino, not a lot of money. It's up in New Hampshire, up Seabrook where there's no taxes. The one around here, we just had a legalized gambling in Massachusetts, are you aware of that? We passed it. Mm-hmm.

Okay, what I do is I listen to you guys and I happen to listen to the TV guys with the letters starting and you hear them mention it, then I listen to the Fox one and it gets all together. Everybody is dumping on my Celtics. I don't know why, but that's okay because... Everybody? I haven't actually heard anyone dumping on the Celtics.

No, you haven't, but a lot of people criticize. They all great, Luca is. Okay, they're a good team, but the Celtics learned how to win, I think, from Steph Curry and the Warriors.

They took them to school two years ago and now it's in their head. I hope so, but it should be a good series anyways, but what I do is, Amy, I go up to New Hampshire and whenever all you guys stay all together, I go the other way and I'm batting 800 right now, which was pretty good. I think it's okay for people to praise Luca Doncic and you don't have to take that as dumping on the Celtics.

Oh, no, no, no. He's a good player. He's damn good. He's steps below your Joker and the other guy, Jamel Murray is very good with Denver, but Kyrie doesn't play defense.

He's lazy sometimes and he's still lazy, but he's been doing better so far, but he doesn't play any defense. How do you think the Celtics fans will welcome him back to the garden? Oh, we're going to rattle, we're going to rattle. What he did to us, he's an all-star from the neck down, that's what he is. I'm telling you. With my Boston accent, he's an all-star from the neck down.

I can't wait for this. He can't take it. He can't take it. I was sitting in the third row when he gave me the bird and okay, all right, they stopped the game. They gave him a technical.

I think they threw him out of that game. That was a game we eliminated him by 28, 40 points or something, but I appreciate good basketball and I enjoyed it. When Colby came in there, I enjoyed him. I got an autograph with him. I talked to him a couple of times. I miss him so much. He was a great player. I think a lot of people miss him and his personality and his presence in the league for sure, but he and the Celtics also had some great back and forth, some good rivalries.

Yeah, and when Bill Russell came in a couple of times, that was the night they won the championship. He was out back and I go, hey Bill, what do you got in there? What do you got in the box? He goes, never mind. He goes like that. He goes, you get the trophy, you get the trophy and he's laughing and he was a nice guy too. You know what I mean?

What can I say? I'm impressed with all of your name dropping here, Tim. Well, you're right in my neighborhood. I'm right up the street from the North End. Nice. I do love the North End.

Yeah. We have Mike Spacey and Tommy Osorda was in there all before he passed away. He used to come here, visit the North End and it was pretty good.

He goes to Mike Spacey. I can put a little plug for those guys because you've probably been there too, right? I have. I do love the North End. It's one of my favorite spots. Not quite there, but my favorite spot in all of Boston is out on the harbor, past the, on the wharf there. I love the wharf.

Oh, which part? Where do you go? Near the aquarium. Oh, near the aquarium.

Right near the, what do they put there? The long wharf. Yeah. No, the long wharf Marriott there. Mm-hmm.

Which costs it out of my leg. You better off going over the airport and the other side. You know?

Not if I'm just going to visit the water. All right, Tim. All right.

We're at the top of the hour. All right. Go Celtics. Goodness. I like the accent.

Also, New Hampshire. Boom. Live free or dry. Let's see. On our Facebook page, Scott says, I was waiting for this. For the Chicago Bear fan, it's Aaron Rodgers. Remember, I'm bleeping.

Oh, new. Ben says, John Elway, I still hate him. I don't know if that's Cleveland. It might be Cleveland. Let's see.

Ryan says, for the commanders, it's Dak Prescott. It's After Hours with Amy Lawrence. Bless you. Hey, have you tried Instacart for spring allergy relief?
