Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. You can so try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try to OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Guest 1
Oh.
Host 2
And versus sga. What's up with it? How we feeling? Is this a key matchup in this series?
Host 1
I think Minnesota might get tonight. This another 7 gamer.
Host 2
Oh, okay. Early predictions from behen both his teams he conflicted, so he going seven games to be safe. Okay.
Guest 2
Yeah. This must see tv, though.
Guest 1
I would love. I would love to know from everybody, what's the key matchup in this series? So if I could ask you, Marcus, what's the key matchup in this series? For Oklahoma City to win this series.
Guest 2
I mean, they gonna have to find somebody to stop Julius Randle because Chad ain't gonna be able to do that. I don't see it. And then Jalen Williams gotta. He gotta have a real good series, bro. They gonna vents.
Guest 1
So you basing this series off of Jalen Williams, not Shay.
Guest 2
So I know what Shay gonna do.
Guest 1
Okay.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Okay.
Guest 1
So what you need? What you think Jalen Williams gotta do in this series? What do you gotta average? What do you gotta look like in this series to get them to win?
Guest 2
At least. At least 20, bro. You can't go out there getting 8 and 10, okay. You got at least get 20, bro.
Guest 1
So him and SGA gotta combine for at least 50 points.
Guest 2
Yeah, SJ is getting 30. We know that stamp that he got to get us 20, bro.
Host 1
Every night.
Guest 2
Every night, bro. It's time, bro. You have to.
Host 2
Yeah. And you look at the PPG for the stars in the series, you got AE right now at 26 and a half. 8 and 5, SJ, 29, 5 and 6. I think you on point with that, Marcus. At least got to be a 50 piece for sure.
Guest 2
It has to, bro.
Guest 1
Well, DJ for you, I'mma piggyback off that.
Host 2
But I'm expound more. I think that Chet random matchup is very, very important, man. The way that Julius Randall has been playing basketball. You don't want Chet to be in foul trouble in this series because Julius Randall's so dynamic and he's a hybrid, right? So even when it comes to him just being downhill, that just puts a lot of force on him. And they. The Timberwolves need him to score. Jamie Daniels is going to contribute. But you need that Julius Randle scoring to help AE out in this series. Cause we know OKC can get hot, especially at home. Those role players go crazy. Julius Randle's PPG is probably more important in this series than Jalen Williams.
Guest 1
How about you be here?
Host 1
Rudy Goldberg just gotta get injured.
Host 2
Damn.
Guest 1
God damn.
Host 2
Damn.
Host 1
That's it.
Guest 1
Okay, well, I'm saying he don't get injured.
Host 1
Hardenstein got a hoe on him. That's it.
Host 2
Okay, so you taking the center matchup is the most important in this.
Host 1
I'll start off it is though, bro. I don't want you to get hurt. Rudy, I'm bullshitting. But yeah, I think the center matchup is the most important part, bro.
Guest 1
Mine is gonna be the bench.
Host 2
Okay?
Guest 1
Nas Reid gotta. For the Timberwolves to be successful, Nasri gotta play well. Cause he gotta match the Thunder bench. Like, I don't know if they're gonna start Caruso or bring him off the bench. I don't know what they line up gonna be, whatever it is. But Caruso is an X factor. He could take people out the game. Obviously, we seen him guard. Fucking Jokic. Yeah. Like when you a six' four, six' five guard and you guarding the best player in the game, I'm pretty confident you can guard anybody at this point. So I could see him being on Julius Randle, right? I could see them putting him on Julius Randle front and doing all the shit he do. Because Julius Randle kind of play with his. You know, he play out on the perimeter a little bit. So he ain't gonna be able to get by Caruso like that. But he might start going to the post. And I see Chet coming over helping. And now Rudy Gobert gonna have to do what Rudy o' Bear can do, he gonna have to catch lobs or do whatever he can do. But they gonna, you know, they gonna crash back. And Minnesota, they can shoot threes, but they ain't got the greatest shooters. Yeah, they can make them, but they don't got the greatest shooters. It ain't Steph Curry and all these other dudes running around, but they can make threes. But this is why I think Nas Reed is important.
Host 1
Yeah.
Guest 1
Cause you can't do that with Nas Reid. You can't leave him. Like you can leave Rudy. That should be interesting. Yeah.
Host 1
I think Julius Randle and Edwards combine it for 50 is more effective than SGA and Jalen Williams.
Host 2
I think it's more detrimental if they don't realistically, because you gotta look for other points to the Timberwolves team. You gonna ask Rudy for those buckets. I mean, Jamie Dales is going to score, but you ask him for 20. And to play hard defense on SJ is a lot to ask in the series.
Guest 2
If SJ and Jalen Williams get 50, I feel like it's gonna be hard to beat them. Cause you know Caruso, he gonna hit a couple threes. All them other people, they gonna chip in.
Guest 1
Do they little blow up or Dort might hit a three or two.
Host 1
Chad the most important person to me in this whole series though.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Guest 2
But I feel like if they. They can give you 10 to 12.
Host 2
That'S gonna hardstock gonna get 10 to 12.
Guest 2
That's gonna be a lot, bro, to try to guard.
Guest 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Which team do y' all think is gonna dominate the boards in the series?
Guest 1
I'm gonna go with the Timberwolves.
Host 2
Interesting.
Guest 1
I just think they are bigger, more physical rebounding team. Like even though Rudy o' we look at him as he gets boards.
Host 1
Yeah. Hell yeah. He get rebound.
Guest 1
And Julius Randle goes to the glass. Dante Divincensko.
Host 1
But they crash over there too.
Guest 2
Nah, they do.
Host 1
They crash on okc.
Host 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
But Dante Geneva turns to a hell of a rebounding guard. Julius Randle gonna go to the boards.
Host 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
They just got a big team. J.D. mcDaniel goes to the boards.
Host 1
We didn't mention Dante. If he get high, that could be scary.
Guest 2
It's about time too.
Host 2
Yeah, he do.
Host 1
He do that nigga run off six, seven threes on accident. It could get spooky.
Guest 1
But I just think Caruso is the X factor. Cause he could take somebody out. Like I'm not. He's not gonna be the main defender on ae. Obviously is gonna be Lou Dork. But he could switch on the AE very easily. And that Randle and AE pick and roll is probably pretty much dead. Cause they just gonna switch it. Especially if Caruso start. And Luke Dor is strong enough to guard fucking Julius Randle.
Host 1
Yeah, he's for sure strong enough.
Guest 1
Yeah. That's gonna be the interesting matchup. If Julius Randle can take over and kill Caruso or make it where they getting two on the ball and he can lob it up to Rudy Gobert or guys are making shots, then OKC gonna be in trouble. Cause Chet cannot guard Julius, right? Nah, he got a tool.
Host 1
He gonna show his bag against him.
Guest 1
Yeah, he's gonna run. Yeah, he's not sure what's going on. Yeah, he's not physical enough.
Host 1
But you gotta guard that boy on the other side too, bro. He was dogging Aaron Gordon last series.
Guest 2
Yeah, I mean, he played good. He's getting 14. And that ain't.
Host 1
That's a fact, though.
Guest 1
Julius Redland been guarding too, though. That's what people are realizing. He been locking up. You gotta think when they played that Laker series, he was guarding Brian. She was looking.
Host 1
I'm just saying, this is, you know, Brown 40, but this they toughest battle, bro. Nah, for sure this is their toughest battle, bro.
Host 2
I think for both teams.
Host 1
Yeah, These young on boy.
Guest 1
I think to me, I feel like the Timberwolves had a little more battle, like a harder little stretch. Obviously they were lower seed, but their. Their games have been like battles. Like, you got to go in the beat the Lakers with Luca and all them with the hype and come out and beat them big.
Host 1
Big dub.
Guest 2
It was going at it with Golden State too.
Host 1
Yeah, but see, that's where it go. They get Midi. Get Midi, bro. They just beat Denver Nuggets, bro.
Guest 1
Yeah, but no out of them. Nobody was excited about them 50, bro.
Host 1
But they beat a good team.
Guest 1
Very good team. But none of us was like.
Host 1
None of us just smoked it. That's it.
Guest 1
None of us was really excited about. We knew what it was. We like, all right, it was a good series. But we knew, like, it was Jokic. Jokic versus them. You know what I mean?
Host 1
And beating the Lakers, you right as a big deal that wasn't even supposed to go down. Like, nobody had that in the book. So we gonna see though. Shit, I got a 7, though.
Host 2
What I'm intrigued about this series too. We talk about, obviously, the stars matching up. I think if the Timberwolves are smart, you gotta make ACJ play some defensive series.
Guest 1
Oh, yeah.
Host 2
You got to.
Guest 1
Hell, yeah.
Host 2
Like that's gonna be.
Guest 2
I'm about to just let you score 40. You have to play defense. You gotta work hard, bro.
Host 1
Move on hedge and get out of there.
Guest 1
But that's the thing Jay McDaniel's been doing. Like if you watch the Lakers series, he went at Luca every time he got the ball.
Host 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
And that's who he gonna be matched up with. I'm imagining. Yeah. Unless he gonna guard Mike Conley.
Host 1
Yeah.
Guest 1
And he probably will be on Mike Conley. And then that's when you got.
Host 2
That's when Demon Chisholm gotta get Dante.
Guest 1
Gotta be aggressive when he get in the game.
Host 2
Most definitely. Man, this is gonna be a hell of a series. I like the fact that you got. You know what I'm saying? To kill Walker Alexander off the bench guarding his cousin. That's gonna be fire. I can't wait till we get that fourth quarter matchup of AE going at sga. I'm sure Asha SGA probably won't guard him. But just that intensity, a trip to the finals. Who would it mean more for? AE or SGA right now?
Guest 1
Sga.
Guest 2
I feel like it's the same both ways.
Host 2
Okay.
Guest 2
Both this. They at the same level.
Guest 1
Really? Shit, I think. Yeah. No, my friend. I think it would mean more for AE just because all the stuff that came with AE this year and somehow he's still focused and like got on the court and still did his shit. Like to wake up every day. You know how social media can overwhelm a bunch of people and him to be on there every single day and still focus and lock in and still be the player he been.
Guest 2
Yeah, but I just feel like they both trying to chase that first one. So it's kind of. It's kind of equal, bro. They both superstar, young superstars trying to chase that first ring.
Guest 1
But it's kind of different when you about to be the mvp. It's like you still need that, though.
Guest 2
You don't need that.
Guest 1
Yeah, you need it. But it's like about to be the mvp.
Guest 2
So imagine he get MVP and win a chip. Bro, he lit.
Guest 1
Yeah, but you still Finals mvp.
Guest 2
He's lit.
Guest 1
But you still lit. Cause you the mvp, not facts.
Guest 2
But he crazy lit. Can't nobody say I got finals mvp. Mvp. And I want a chick in the same year.
Guest 1
Yeah, you lit. But if I'm AE now you're on.
Host 1
That all time list and okc.
Guest 1
But I'm ae.
Guest 2
Ain't one.
Guest 1
Timberwolves, ain't one. Shit True.
Guest 2
But if A do it, that's going to be hard too.
Guest 1
And I don't got the mvp. He going home with something.
Guest 2
Yeah.
Guest 1
No matter what, I ain't going. He going home with something if I lose the night over. All right. Back to the. Back to the ga. Atlanta Timberwolf, you know, Magic City, here we come. But if he win the chip, Magic City is his.
Host 2
Almost definitely.
Guest 1
I mean, it's his anyway.
Host 2
Oh, fuck.
Guest 2
He is boy. Definitely.
Host 1
He is stupid.
Host 2
And what's fire about it? You know what I'm saying? Fresh off the gold medal and your team goes through a crazy trade reconstruction. Probably one of your biggest franchise pieces ever. Just the fact that you're in the conference finals again is already lit enough.
Guest 1
And you told Obama I'm him. I'm like, I'm one of them.
Guest 2
And you do all this.
Host 1
He definitely told Obama, watch your mouth.
Guest 1
Yeah, I like that.
Host 2
Man, this is gonna be a hell of a series. People are really upset that this series is starting before the Eastern Conference.
Guest 1
Yeah, that is crazy.
Host 2
These had hella days off the rest.
Host 1
Yeah, but to give y' all predictions, though, what do y' all think this is gonna go?
Guest 1
I'm going with the Timberwolves just cause I was a elite guard over there. I was one of the go to players in the Timberwolves organization at one point.
Host 1
Respect who you got.
Host 2
You took it to the playoffs.
Guest 1
Took them to the playoffs for the first time in 14 years.
Host 2
No Pat. Bev.
Guest 2
I think the Thunder win is seven Thunder and seven. Yeah.
Host 2
Okay. Behem.
Host 1
Oh, you know, these are my guys, man. The real junior. I told y' all that's the real Shaq and Kobe, you know, succeed if they went.
Guest 2
I don't know, bro.
Host 1
I'm torn seven. Whoever come out, bro. I'm supporting them.
Guest 2
I think it's just SGA year, bro.
Host 1
The NBA champion is on the west side, though. That's all I'm saying.
Host 2
Listen, you have three teams in conference finals, so it's kind of hard to lose right now.
Host 1
Y' all are the basketball heads.
Guest 2
You was wallow for real, bro.
Host 1
You know why I'm not wallow on some real. I always say this. We was back at his house. I called okc. I caught Ant being the number one pick in the draft. This is noted. I showed Mike this Instagram post a long time ago. Jt, get well soon. But you let Nelly hate on me. So it was y' all. So I became a Knicks fan.
Host 2
I became a Knicks fan.
Guest 2
I get all that, bro. But you gotta pick A team, bro. You can't have.
Host 1
I don't have to pick one. Y' all don't have no favorite team. This Nigga is an NBA.
Host 2
He's got three out of 10.
Host 1
He is in a fraternity. He got 12 hats and he's out of pocket, too.
Host 2

Guest 1

Host 2
He's going to be happy either way, bro.
Host 1
30 teams in the NBA. I'm three out of four, man.
Host 2
You know, I ain't rolling with Dante.
Guest 1
I'm the real zero.
Host 2
You actually stay out of pocket.
Guest 1
You actually don't even wear it right.
Host 2
Yeah, swag ass.
Guest 1
I don't know what shoes you got on. I was swaggy. Least right? My feet was always good when I was together.

Guest 2
I like to be his motivation, bro.

Host 2
Nigga sued Martin using his voice.
Guest 1
That sound like me thinking, C. I got calves. Oh, yeah, I need my chip check, too.
Host 2
Wow. That. So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them is the right thing to do. But we all know the GRE Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the Grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG Formula. One guy even started all out petition and degree. Listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush sent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.
Guest 1
Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

And Fees Tomorrow Eastern Conference finals starts off. You're seeing a lot of smug going on. Brunson vs. Haliburton. See WWE. They had the script early.
Guest 1
Yeah, shout out to WWE in the universe, man. Y' all know y' all put that in the air. We ain't gonna put my in there.
Host 2
Rba. Who's matchup gonna be in wwe?
Host 1
I don't know man. Probably Booker T. Bro, why you always.
Guest 1
Gonna be a fight Booker T versus Bro.
Host 1
Nah, you and Pat Bev.
Host 2
Oh yeah, via Pat Bev. WWE special guest referee.
Host 1
It could be Brandon Jennings. He's been dunking.
Guest 1
Go hit Britney with the chair. Ref go get knocked out the ring.
Host 1
Honestly going Pat Ben, he gonna throw that through a table.
Host 2
He gonna throw Brady through the table.
Guest 1
Okay, I got the best setup. Okay, Michelle.
Host 2
Man, I think this is going to be a hell of a matchup for sure man. Nick Spacers historic rivalry for both teams, man. It's going to be, you know what I'm saying, the seven versus Knicks versus 10 of the Pacers. I think this will go six or seven either way. For real. For real. Obviously, I'm going Pacers, but I can see why Knicks fans will feel real confident in the situation. Man. It's gonna be a good series.
Host 1
I'm glad we get to see this, bro. This is like our childhood getting played again. Reggie versus Pat. You know what I'm saying? So that's. That's good for our childhood. But yeah, Nick's info.
Host 2
Nick's info is insane, bro. Disrespectful.
Guest 1
What I. What I like about this series, though, is they both been battle tested. Like you said, y' all beat the Celtics last year. I mean, when y' all competed against the Celtics last year, y' all gave them a good series. They beat the Celtics this year. So it's like they both battle tested. Y' all beat the number one seed, Cavs. They went through the Boston Celtics. So y' all both battle tested, both got premier guards. The battle is going to be from the wings. We know what we going to get from Jalen Brunson. We don't actually know what we going to get from Tyrese Halliburton. But what we expecting is for him to show up and be big, right? Play great. He plays well in the guard. But it's games where Tyrese go missing. Will he go missing this series? We don't know. To be determined. But I know who shows up for the Pacers every week, and that's those Wings, yo. Neimhardt, Naismith, Siakam, whoever else come off the bench, Mather and all them dudes come ready to play every game. And it's gonna be if the Knicks Wings can control them. Cause they don't sub anyway, so they don't.
Host 2
And the one thing I like about this series is people forgot last year. Obviously, OG was hurt the last game, but when it came to OG and Pascal, OG can't guard him.
Guest 2
I feel like that not seven gonna hurt them, too.
Host 2
Game three, game four, they gonna feel it.
Guest 2
It's gonna hurt them, bro.
Guest 1
I don't think so.
Guest 2
Especially The Pacers playing 10, bro. Keeping fresh bodies. I don't know, bro. It's gonna hurt them.
Guest 1
You know why this worked for the Knicks? Tibbs is like a mad. It's stupid. But he a mad scientist. Cause when your body get conditioned to doing it all the time, that's your norm. This is they norm, nigga. We don't come out the game. So then I ain't even getting tired, nigga. This is just what we do.
Guest 2
Yeah, but they ain't Playing the Pacers, picking up fool. They run. That's a lot to handle.
Host 2
Yeah, we get more possessions in there.
Guest 1
Too, but this is what we do.
Host 2
But we invite people to play crackhead basketball. Cause once you start playing our tempo, you gonna start shooting shit. You're not supposed to shoot.
Guest 1
But that's the thing. They don't play crackhead basketball. Cause you know why? Jalen Brunson will walk that bitch up and put that motherfucker on the sideline, and you gonna play. You can't speed him up.
Ryan Seacrest
Up.
Guest 2
Nah, you can't.
Guest 1
Detroit try to do that. People try to speak. You cannot speed him up.
Host 2
Respect to those teams, they are not us. Because last year, Jalen Brunson tried to walk that up. We put his ass all picking row. We were running.
Guest 1
He was hurt.
Host 2
He went hurt. Autumn games.
Host 1
That's okay.
Guest 1
Yeah. After game, too.
Host 2
He was hurt.
Host 1
Everybody. Everybody's healthy now. It's okay.
Host 2
I love it.
Host 1
Don't worry.
Host 2
Equal opportunity. Everybody gets.
Guest 1
And they also didn't. They also didn't have a cat, though.
Host 2
They. And they did not have Mikhail Bridges. I agree. Yeah.
Guest 1
And when you got. When you got a cat where you can actually throw that in there. Because one thing about I love Miles Turn. You know, Miles turning my dog. But when I was on the Pacers, we used to do that cat versus Miles matchup.
Host 2
I was like, what the.
Host 1
That's that real?
Host 2
And they both gonna foul, foul, foul, foul.
Guest 1
But one thing about my cat. Cat, he feel real good against Miles. I ain't gonna lie.
Host 1
Shout out to Stretch. But he ain't cat, bro. It's different, bro.
Guest 1
Like, the matchups, that cat up is like, shorter, athletic, strong. When you the same height as cat.
Host 1
He cooks like your legs just as goofy. It's over, bro. Put him in a blender, bro.
Guest 1
Like.
Host 2
But if cat is a leading scorer, that plays in our advantage.
Guest 2
It don't be the leading score.
Host 2
It plays our advantage. If Castro.
Guest 1
Cause if you let him have moments like they did against Detroit, where him and Brunson is hooping, I mean, that's.
Guest 2
What it's supposed to be.
Host 2
And respectfully, we're not Detroit.
Guest 2
That's hard to guard. I ain't gonna lie.
Guest 1
I feel you, y' all.
Host 2
I ain't get that other team.
Host 1
Watch OG Kill this series.
Guest 1
I ain't gonna lie. Detroit defense. Detroit defense, probably better than y' alls. But y' all offense, the way y' all play is more.
Guest 2
Get more possession, more shots.
Host 2
I'm happy we got Benny Matheran this time. Around too. We gonna need every sizable phys deal with Jalen Brunson. He is a problem for sure. The first team, all NBA.
Guest 1
He going to need to slow him.
Guest 2
Down a little bit.
Guest 1
He going to post all them Just a little.
Host 1
Really believing in the Pacers, man. Why not? I see the eyes, brother.
Guest 2
Why not?
Host 2
You really believe in the Knicks?
Host 1
It's a better team, bro. Just a better team. Player for player, bro.
Guest 1
I ain't going to say they better team, but player for player, bro.
Host 2
I heard it last year. We walked him down in the Garden.
Host 1
They first five is way better than the Pacers.
Guest 2
First fivers got a bench every position. That could be true, but the Pacers have a bench, bro. And that's going to come in a factor, bro.
Host 2
Come on, man.
Guest 1
They do got a better player at every position, but they the Pacer just want to be more say that who not better.
Host 2
OG not better than Pascal.
Guest 1
I mean, it's a toss up.
Host 2
And you can say feel about Jalen and Tyrese, but what go to og.
Guest 1
Stats go to Pascal.
Guest 2
I mean, Jalen Brunson better than Tyrese Halbert.
Guest 1
What are we talking about?
Host 2
It's the reason why he go last year the most. When you send home.
Guest 2

Host 2
With all that, you can be better as you want. If I send you home, you at the crib watching me be good at home.

Host 2

I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like, having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indication catered that you could benefit from talking to somebody.
