Smoove took a page out of Joakim Noah’s book — who was at it again last night, by the way — and ensured that good folks of Milwaukee will be booing him lustily during games 3 and 4.
From the AJC:
“A reporter mentioned that Milwaukee is different from Miami, the Hawks’ first-round destination last year (and lemme tell you, this is another reason Hawks management was happy to draw Milwaukee instead of Miami this time). So what will Smoove do in Brew City? ‘Maybe go to Ruth’s Chris or something,’ he said. ‘There’s pretty much nothing to do,’ Smith said. ‘Miami has some really good restaurants. I never really did anything in Milwaukee. I would be happy to just find a restaurant. I’m not bashing the city but I’ve never actually did anything in Milwaukee so I really don’t know what is around there.’
By now Hawks PR Man Arthur Triche, seeing where this was headed, had creeped in to try and break up the party. But, Smoove being Smoove (‘I don’t care!’) he wasn’t stopping. Someone picked up on the Noah thread and asked Smith if he’d be taking any vacations in Milwaukee. ‘Would you go there?’ Smith asked. ‘Everybody knows there ain’t nothing to do in Milwaukee, man. Everybody knows that, (even) the people that live there.”’
