Against the class of Major League Baseball, too. Right. So all in all, everything, Islanders are out of the playoffs officially. Real great. Great weekend. Happy to be back. Well, welcome back. Can't wait to chat about it. We have the Knicks and the Hawks is the matchup. The one matchup I did not want in the first round. That's the matchup that we have. The Mets stink. The Yankees stink. And, yeah, Islanders are out of the postseason. So we have the Knicks. All in all good stuff. And you've been, I don't want to call you an Atlanta Hawks fan, but.

I'm not, what are you talking about?

I mean, you've been beating the drum for the Hawks for like the last three weeks. I've been beating the drum to not play the Hawks for the last three weeks. Yeah. I mean, I heard of any part of the Hawks. I did. Someone actually said to me on this hockey trip is Dave and Atlanta Hawks fan. Yeah, huh.

I don't think so.

Shame on the magic, by the way.

Shame on the magic, by the way.

Really?

You see who the Celtics played last? even Atlanta Hawks fan. Yeah, huh. I don't think so. Shame on the magic, by the way.

Shame on, really.

You see who the Celtics played last night? Yeah. You're the magic. You lose that game. Shame on you. Yeah, well, it's not great. But again, I mean, we're a team that's supposed to be in the NBA finals. We should handle the Hawks in the first round. I said to Ray before the show, I said, oh, now we got the Hawks, I don't like it.

He goes, please.

He's not concerned at all. He said, we will beat the Hawks. If there's a basketball god, we have no concerns. Nothing scares Raymond. No. Raymond is not going to let anything happen this regular season deter him. Nope. It's the same team that was in the Eastern Conference finals. This is a deeper team. Ray is a cat supporter. Bring it on. Ray needs to have a t-shirt. You're 65 or sooner. Ray fears no one. Yep. Bring it on. You're right. That's how he feels. Bring it. Is it official?

That's a 6 o'clock on Saturday game one, right?

Yeah, that's a 6 o'clock Saturday on Prime. Only on Prime? That's great. I don't think for us we'll get it. I mean, I don't know. Prime's different. No, no, no. You know what? Last night, Mike Breen said at the end of the game, he said,

we are not doing any posties of the games, MSG.

So that's it.

It stinks.
