Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened. That doesn't happen often. They admitted that 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 it's the number one men's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and and other stores for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.

Ocho As I mentioned earlier, the Wolves go on the road, take down the Golden State Warriors 102 to 97, go up and snatch home court back two one. It took an outstanding game from Julius Randle. A triple double, 24 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds. He also for good measure had three steals. But Ant man took over the second half. He had 15 big points in the third, 13 big points in the fourth and Jaden McDaniels came along in the third quarter. He was one on one from the three, two or two from the free throw line. Big, big points for him. And they go on the road and they get home court back and take a 21 series lead. Now Jimmy Butler was having an outstanding game. Yeah, he had 33 points with about eight and a half minutes to go and he didn't score another point. He was gassed. Ocho, he played 43 big minutes. He played the ball well. Ant man played 44ant man might have played the entire second half because I don't. He normally gets a break at the. At the fourth quarter, at the intermission. So he plays the whole third quarter and normally starts on the bench in the fourth quarter. But Chris Finch like, nah, bro, you got to suck it up. And plus, you're only 22, 23 years old. I think he might be 24, but you got to go. And he went and he did what he was supposed to do, what a superstar supposed to do, find ways. He got aggressive, got to the line, and man, that hammer dunk that he put on Kavon Looney, it got him going. It got this team going. And they snatched back home court 102 to 97 from the Golden State Warriors. Ocho, watching this game, how it shaped up, I thought the warriors are going to win this game without Steph Curry. Like, okay, now they got some breathing room. Let him relax. And so now we probably not going to even think about bringing it back to maybe game five, game six. Now, what do you like about what you saw from the t. Wolves on the road?
- [06:03]
Commercial Speaker 3
I mean, from the Wolves obviously being on the road. Julius Randle. Julius Randle cut a fool. He cut a fool with understanding how important this game was for him and being able to contribute in helping Anthony Edwards and the rest of the team collectively and making sure he does what he needs to do and getting his shots and being efficient. The face of the league. He showed up tonight. The face of the league. I'm gonna say it one more time. The face of the league showed up tonight. He had 36. He got to his spots. He managed the game very well in his shot selection and. And when to shoot the three. When he put the ball on the floor. Unc. And he got to the hole. He drew fouls and did what he needed to do. I like the way Anthony played. Very aggressive tonight. And they gonna need. They gonna. They gonna continue to need him playing the way he played tonight along with Julius Randle, for them to have a chance, especially once Steph comes back, especially with the way Jimmy Butler played tonight. Once Steph comes back. Game. What did you say? Game four or five, you think?
- [07:12]
Shannon Sharpe
Nah, he's not gonna be evaluated until right before game five. So he's out the neck. He's out at least game four for sure. We know for certain.
- [07:20]
Commercial Speaker 3
You. You think. You think. You think for certain he's out game four? I don't know.
- [07:24]
Shannon Sharpe
For some reason, they're not gonna reevaluate him until game five. So, yes, he's out for game four. He's not gonna. They're gonna reevaluate him. Even if, even in the process of reevaluating him, there is no guarantee that he' five. But there is a break between game five and six. There's a three day break between game five and six, but we might not even get to a game six. If they don't have. If they don't take, if they don't win one these next two games, there won't be a game six. You have the entire off season to get healthy, right?
- [07:55]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, Jimmy. Jimmy.
- [07:56]
Shannon Sharpe
Excuse me.
- [07:57]
Commercial Speaker 3
Jimmy. Butler and Kaminga, man, they played real good.
- [08:00]
Shannon Sharpe
It did. Kamingo gave him great minutes. 36 minutes off the bench. Ocho 11 of 18, three or four from the three, five or six from the free throw line. He had six rebounds, three assists, two blocks. He played extremely well. He's plus five, plus, plus, minus. He gave you 30 points off the bench.
- [08:15]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. And I don't understand something, and me, as someone still learned the game of basketball, and I look at someone like Jonathan Kaminga come off the bench and have 30, 11 for 18. He has six rebounds and three assists. He was plus five, which was best among the Warriors. And you look back and I'm trying to understand and wrap my head around how Steve Kerr wasn't playing him. I just. I just. I just don't get it. Especially when you get this kind of production. I don't. I don't understand.
- [08:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Well, if he's getting that kind of production, he'd have been starting. But that's the problem. He's up and down. But I think the main thing is oo he doesn't leave him in long enough. Because, look, this is a veteran ball club, and so these guys are used to playing together. They know how to play the game. Draymond, especially Draymond and Steph. And so when you on a veteran ball club and you're a young player, they don't make excuses for you making mistakes as you being young. Do what? Understand what you're supposed to do. Do it at a very high and efficient level or you're gonna sit down.
- [09:16]
Commercial Speaker 3
What's the saying? Cut off numbers? Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's. Listen, when you have a player like that, that's putting up numbers like that, even with the inconsistencies and knowing what he can do when he is consistent and when he is on and give you games like this, even though it was in a losing effort, you want that. Especially with Steph being out, you. You Want that on the goddamn court. But listen, the only way they gonna have a chance is you're gonna have you. They're gonna have to have a three headed monster, especially from a scoring perspective for the words, it gotta be Jimmy Butler, he gotta score well. And especially, I don't want to say garbage time, that's more of a football phrase, but towards the end of games, he can't gas out like that because the scoring has to come from somewhere. If it's not you, it got to be Kaminga. Kaminga. If it's not Kaminga, it got to be Buddy Hill.
- [10:05]
Shannon Sharpe
Well, the fact of the matter is that he has to play because you know, he and Draymond are really the two that initiate the offense. And as far as going and get their own shot is really only Jimmy. So if you take him off the court, where are the points going to come from when you really don't have another guy that can go get his own shot? Now, Kaminga had it going tonight, and maybe in the future that's something Steve Kerr has to look at. And he says, okay, maybe I can give Jimmy a blow here or there, but I don't think tonight he was willing to chance it because Jimmy did have it going. He looked really, really good early. He was getting to the free throw line. But that's what happens, Ocho. I mean, and when you hit that.
- [10:43]
Commercial Speaker 3
Wall, yeah, it's a rap, huh?
- [10:46]
Shannon Sharpe
It's a rap. Ain't no coming back. And you see he just scored another bucket for eight and a half, Almost eight and a half minutes.
- [10:52]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, but also, yeah, he don't have the legs or the energy to do so because they was, they was contesting everything. And then you say, you talk about Jimmy Butler having to be in because there's no one else that could put the ball on the floor and create their own, own shot. Hell, I seen Kaminga do it a.
- [11:06]
Shannon Sharpe
Few times, but that's what I'm saying. That's maybe, that's and, and maybe moving forward, that's something Steve Kerr has to look at and says, okay, I can go with jit, but are you really willing to trust that? Have you seen enough of Kaminga have these type of games that you feel totally trust? Like, you know what? I can take Jimmy off the court for two to three minutes and let Commingo do what he does.
- [11:25]
Commercial Speaker 3
They don't have him in long enough. Cause you just said they're a veteran team. Yeah, they don't have him in long enough to be able to allow him to have games like this. So, I mean.
- [11:34]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, see, you have to look at it like this. When Steph's on the court, when. When they had Clay last year. You running your offense. Do you run the offense for Kamingo? You running your offense for Stephen Clay?
- [11:46]
Commercial Speaker 3
For Stephen Clay, exactly.
- [11:48]
Shannon Sharpe
And so I think the thing is. And he got nicked, maybe lost a little confidence by not playing. He also mentioned that, you know, it's hard to get a rhythm when you're in and out, in and out and in and out. And so playing extended minutes. But I think their backs against the wall now, I don't really think they have a choice but to play him a substantial amount of minutes. Draymond. Draymond needs to understand Ocho in that situation. Why would you contest that dunk? You got five fouls. You just picked up your fifth foul on a. On an overturn. Because they called a foul one way, but they said Draymond called, got the foul on Draymond. So you got five fouls. Why would you give up the two points? Because you're more valuable than two points.
- [12:29]
Commercial Speaker 3
Right?
- [12:29]
Shannon Sharpe
And by not doing that, so now you really only have one guy to initiate the offense. Yeah, Kaminga can get his shot, but I ain't asking Kaminga to bring the ball up, set the offense, and that's not what he does. Now, if I get him the ball down on the post, yeah, he can knock down the shot, but, like, Jimmy can initiate the offense. That's not what Kaminga can do. Draymond can initiate the offense, but he's not looking for his shot. He's initiating the offense to get people off back screens, pin downs, flares, whatever they want to run. That's what Draymond can do. Draymond, look, anything Draymond gives you over four points. Thank you, Lord. That's what you're hoping for. He's mainly an assist. He's mainly a rebound. He's mainly a defensive stopper. So anything he gives you in the point total as the points increases, that's another plus. He give you six. What, one plus eight. Two pluses. He gets you in the teams, boy, you're like, oh, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.
- [13:23]
Commercial Speaker 3
That's a good night.
- [13:24]
Shannon Sharpe
That's a great night.
- [13:26]
Commercial Speaker 3
Right?
- [13:26]
Shannon Sharpe
But, you know, file trouble and, you know, look, at some point in time, he has to, like, you know what? Cause Scott Foster is one of those guys, you're not going to intimidate it. And now they're looking for call stuff on you.
- [13:37]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, what's the other. What's the other guy, Scott Foster and the other, the black guy who don't be calling nothing. He don't play either. He don't care who he is.
- [13:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Tony Brothers. Yeah, man, you got Tony Brothers, you got Mark. You got Mark Davis, you got Bill Kennedy.
- [13:53]
Commercial Speaker 3
Oh, yeah, I don't know.
- [13:55]
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, I go to the game, so I know him. Zack Zarber, Josh Timmons, you got Ed Malloy.
- [14:04]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, well, you know, but you know, you know all the rest. God damn, I don't know. I know.
- [14:10]
Shannon Sharpe
Going to the game, man. Going to the game. The two I forget, I get. Forget the two ladies, I forgot their names, but I. But I see him, you know, hey, hey, how you doing? Congregate, good job. Blah, blah, blah. You know, just chew the fat with him right quick. But, you know, just see him, like I said, I, you know, I talk to him and stuff, you know, during the break. They asked me how to do it and pass me the ball. But it's, you know, it's. But I think in that situation like that, in a situation like that, Ocho Draymond just conceded. That's two points.
- [14:39]
Commercial Speaker 3
Just let him go, huh?
- [14:40]
Shannon Sharpe
Just let him have two points. Because if it's his fourth foul, okay, you want to contest it, that's five. But you got five and you just picked up five. So you come back down in less than 30 seconds, you're out of the ball game.
- [14:54]
Commercial Speaker 3
You rock the game.
- [14:55]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he's your best defender. So now who you gonna put on? Drew Ramble, right?
- [15:03]
Commercial Speaker 3
Andy. Andy, you know, he's the best defender and he's undersized.
- [15:06]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, but he has.
- [15:10]
Commercial Speaker 3
He's undersized, but he bring. He has a big presence. I don't know if that makes sense, if you know what I mean.
- [15:14]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Julius Randle had 24 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals. Only Steph and yoke Nikola Jokic have recorded a stat line better in a playoff game. In the 2020s, Julius Randles became the first Timberwolves player with 20 points, 10 assists in multiple games in a single post season in franchise history. Jimmy Butler's Last points were 8 minutes and 16 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Kaminga had a career playoff high of 30 points. He had six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, plus five. His previous playoff high was 18. Now, moving forward, considering he had an out of body game, you feel comfortable he can put another game like this together. Ojo, Absolutely. Okay.
- [15:56]
Commercial Speaker 3
Because when you have a game like this, you know what that does for your confidence, right? How would you talk about you know, when you, when you meet that young lady, you going and you go on your first date, you go on your first date with her and it, and it's a hit. The conversation was good, the food was good. You know, she reciprocated everything you did unk. You know how you feel going into that second date? What you, you feel, you feeling like what? I can't wait. Tamia has to be feeling extremely good, especially for the thought about he's gonna remember, you know what, all these times I ain't even get to play in the game. Coach Kerr had the media and analysts and punish talking, thinking there was issues with me or him and I were, you know, were beefing or whatnot. And now I finally get the opportunity to play significant minutes, a good amount of minutes, and look what I was able to do. Yeah, so that, that, that, that in turn just boosts your confidence tremendously. So I'm expecting him to have a repetitive performance along with Jimmy Butler and goddamn Buddy Hill. But I know one thing. The face of the league ain't going nowhere. The face of the league ain't going nowhere. He's probably going to have another repeat performance as well and try to hurt. But getting the boys up out of here and fired.

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them is the right thing to do. But we all know degree 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 an online petition and degree Listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent 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 antiperspirant 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. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree. Cool rush for yourself.

- [20:07]
Shannon Sharpe
He played 39 minutes. He was 1 of 10 from the floor, 1 of 4 from the 3. Five points won't get it done. You got. I mean, you got Kamingo coming off the bench and giving you 30. You got Jimmy Butler giving you what he gave you. But the rest of your two starting your best of your starters gave you 14 points. That's not nearly good enough. Not nearly good enough. I know Tyson Jackson Davis only played 11 minutes. He and Looney split a lot of time. But I need more from pause. You playing that long a minute, you got to give me you got to give me more than five points. You got to. It's an absolute must. Draymond's got to stay out of foul trouble. He can't argue every call because at this point in time, they. Look, they're not letting him get away with anything. There are stuff that I saw that Draymond would normally get away with in a regular season game is the last one you want to tinker with Scott Foster. Look how many times he done gave Chris Paul the hook.
- [21:00]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, hey, him and Chris Paul, they got. They got beef for real.
- [21:04]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, for sure.
- [21:06]
Commercial Speaker 3
They got beef for real.
- [21:08]
Shannon Sharpe
So with that being said, Draymond just gonna have to be smarter, have to pick and choose his spot. Everything is not. Everything is not for like to have a heated conversation about. It's not up for discussion. It's not for debate. Because now it's like, okay, you think that was a bad call? Wait till you get this one. Yep. 23. They human. People don't understand what you got. No, no, they're human, right? You talk to someone sideways and they get an opportunity. It's just like I tell people all the time when it comes to hall of fame voting. Now you done gave these people your butt to kiss for 10, 12, 14, 15 years. Now you want them to put all of that aside, right? When it comes down to hall of fame voting. How'd that work out? No, you can't do that. You can't treat people. You can't give people your butt to kiss continuously and then ask them to do turn around and do something nice for you. They are human. I understand. Well, they got a job to do. But even a job. Now, if they were AI, that's one thing they don't have no feelings, no emotion tied to the thing and they just, okay, it is what it is. But when you're dealing with the human element of anything, you got to be careful. And Draymond just need to be smarter about this and pick and choose his spots. Everything is not a foul. Everything. Yeah, they're going to miss some, but they're going to be times that they're going to give you some calls that you probably did deserve and you didn't earn, Right? And so that would be me sitting up here from the peanut gallery trying to tell a four time champion, a two time a gold medal winning basketball player how he should go about it. But you have to pick and choose your spots with these. With these officials. I don't know the other guy. I know it was Scott false than Mitchell. I think Mitchell Irving is his name. Isn't that the other official? Mitchell Irving? I'm almost certain that's.
- [23:00]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, did you. Did you. Hey. Speak. Speaking of Draymond, boy, this was so funny. I'm talking about. I might have been in tears for about 10, 15 minutes. Boy. On Twitter, obviously, Draymond, after the game, he made his comments about people trying to make him out to be the angry black man.
- [23:15]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [23:16]
Commercial Speaker 3
So I saw somebody made a clip below. It was what he said to the media after the game, right? And then they had like a two, three, maybe, maybe four minute clip of Draymond doing all. Doing all the we say antics, you know, or the flailing of the arms and, you know, the kicks by accident. When I tell you I was in tears, rolling, I'm talking about. It was so funny, man. I love Draymond. Listen, if I'm telling you, for me, for me, if I was playing, that's somebody I would love to play with. If I had to go walk in a dark alley and had to fix somebody in the NBA that I want by my side to go walk in the dark alley because we don't know what's going to happen. It's Draymond. So I appreciate his enthusiasm, his passion for the game, but sometimes, you know, you're the bearer in the brunt of your own issues.
- [24:10]
Shannon Sharpe
Ojo, did you see we were having that discussion about a hundred men or that silverback? Did you see that silverback barely touching that coconut with his fist and splitting it open?
- [24:19]
Commercial Speaker 3
But who you telling? Who you telling? That's why I don't understand people. Even with the hypothetical, I don't think you understand the strength of an actual silverback gorilla.
- [24:29]
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, he didn't do like this here. He like.
- [24:33]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, yeah.
- [24:35]
Shannon Sharpe
I'm like. I was. I was just thinking, like, I gotta make sure I get this. I gotta make sure I get this thing.
- [24:38]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, man, listen. People don't understand. Forget that. Did you see? I know, it's kind of gruesome a little bit. Did you see. Oh, my alarm. Wake me up. Did you see the chimpanzee that ripped the lady's scalp off by accident?
- [24:53]
Shannon Sharpe
The one that had he totally disfigured? He was a pet and he got loose and. Cause, I mean, you talk about something. Let's just say the eight times the strength of a man. Let's just say the average man can bench 200 pounds. If he's eight times, he can bench 1600.
- [25:10]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think people understand how strong that is.
- [25:14]
Shannon Sharpe
And he probably got a bite for us. He probably got a bite. Force of a thousand easily. Easy. I'm good.
- [25:21]
Commercial Speaker 3
I told you. Listen, if it's 100 dudes, I'm a go. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be 100 though. Cause I need to be way back there. Yeah, I need to be. I need to be the last one so I can live and tell the story about the other 99.
- [25:33]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, but this is a very good game. This. I. I mean, I like games like this here. This was a very good game. It came down to the wire. Minnesota got their big guns, Ant man and Drew Randall. They did what they were supposed to do. Your two best players need to take the game over now. You're one of your best player is on the sideline for Golden State. Who is going to come along with Jimmy Butler? Well, Jimmy didn't come along the last 8, 8, 16. And I think, I think if he could have gave it, given him anything, it might have been a different ball game. Who knows? We'll never know. Oo. But all I know, for the last eight, eight minutes and 16 seconds, Jimmy didn't score a point. And so now you're asking point. Get points from Draymond. Well, Draymond found out. Now you're getting asked get points for Jackson Davis. Nope, that's not happening. Buddy. You gotta run sets for buddy. Buddy ain't getting it off the dribble every once in a while. I saw him shake somebody. Mike Conley might have been, but that's not his game. Kaminga was having an out of body experience. He was playing really well. Quentin Post again got in some great cardio zeros across the board. He cut into his cardio session after the game. Gary Payton, 26.14 from the field.02. Um, he didn't have the impact that he normally does and whatever. Moody is kind of falling out of the lineup. So Moody now Kaminga is kind of getting Moody's minutes. Ocho, remember in the previous series, Moody played Kaminga really didn't get a whole lot of minutes. And so kind of it's. The roles are reversed now. Celtics crushed the Knicks.
- [27:02]
Commercial Speaker 3
Oh, they got lucky. Who? They got lucky. What you mean who?
- [27:07]
Commercial Speaker 4
Who?
- [27:08]
Commercial Speaker 3
The Celtics. I know. My baby. My baby watching. She been talking about the Celtics. She all happy. No bouncing off the walls. Because the Celtics won. I told you. Listen, the Knicks let you have this one. They let you have it. They let you have it in the garden. So don't be too happy because the series will end in three More games?
- [27:24]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. With Boston taking it.
- [27:26]
Commercial Speaker 3
You don't want. Oh, whoa. Whose side you on?
- [27:29]
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't on no side. I just thinking what you call it, brother. Let me get this. The Celtics win. They crushed the Knicks 115 to 93. They had 71 points at the half, and it really was never threatened after that. They got six guys with. They had. Jason Tatum had 22 and 9 and 7. Al Horford had his best game of the postseason. 15, 9. Derrick White had 17. Jalen Brown had 19. But the leading scorer was off the bench was Peyton Pritchard, 8 of 16, 5 of 10, 2 or 2. He had 23 big points off the bench as they used a balance attack to route. They was 48% from the field. They was 50% from the three point line, 20 or 40, 15 or 17 from the free throw line. They did a great job all around, and they win going away. Who did it? Jalen Brunson did have 27 points, but he was 9 of 21, Cat 5 of 18. He had 21 and 15. Josh Hart had 10. Mikhail Bridges had 12. But it was not nearly enough. This game was never really close, Ocho.
- [28:42]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, never. And I don't understand. We at home, you got an opportunity. I'm talking about we. The Knicks are at home and have an opportunity. They gotta kind of really put this series away, right? They kind of do. So I think about it. I think. I think about it the past two games. You know what? At one point in both games, the goddamn Celtics was up by 20.
- [29:03]
Shannon Sharpe
Correct.
- [29:03]
Commercial Speaker 3
So I don't know why, in my mind, the thought, even though they plan in the garden, that maybe they would be able to hold the Celtics and somewhat keep the game close. But again, the Celtics, man, unk, they just shooting and scoring at will.
- [29:15]
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
- [29:16]
Commercial Speaker 3
And then the lead. There it is. Okay, it's back up to 20. So I'm watching the game, I'm like, okay, it's up to 20. Hell, it was at 25 at one point. I'm like, correct, okay, this, this is the game that the Knicks like to play. They let him get a lead, let him get right, let. Let him get no. In. In arm's reach. And then they come back and they run them on down. It was never able to happen today. And I thought maybe the Knicks would. Would have played a little better. Cat would have been a little more efficient. Jalen Brunson did what he could, but defensively, hey, they corralled him. They contested everything, and they made it very, very difficult for Bronson. I'm not sure how many turnovers he had, but he turned up, turn the ball over a few times. That goddamn Peyton Pritchard. What?
- [29:59]
Shannon Sharpe
Now you see, White won sixth man of the year.
- [30:01]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey man, but Listen, he won 6th man of the year, but he's supposed there how many teams in the NBA? 30, 30 teams in the NBA, right. I think he should be starring somewhere else and not coming off nobody goddamn bench. Not playing away. Not what I saw tonight. You know, I ain't really paid. You know, brother Pritchard really don't mind. I really focus on Jalen Brown, Derrick White and goddamn Jason Tatum and what they gonna do. But one Peyton Pritchard today, man, he had 23, eight. Wait, he 23 with eight for 15. He five or 10 from three. Man, he was nice. He was nice. The Boston guards, they tossed Knicks from deep and shit. It was all over. Especially with the, especially with the way they were shooting tonight. It was all over.
- [30:45]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I mean that's what in that. Look, they didn't shoot the 60. They shot the same amount of threes as they shot in game two. The difference is they made, they made half of them. And you know, if you turn it into a three point game and you're going to shoot, you're going to make 20, 22, 25 threes. It's going to be hard unless the team matched that. You see, The Knicks was 5 or 25, 20%. So they plus 45 from the three point line on you.
- [31:11]
Commercial Speaker 3
That's crazy.
- [31:12]
Shannon Sharpe
Where you gonna make that up? And now again, Ocho, I will say this. They got to the free throw line. The Celtics shot 15 free throws, the Knicks shot 35. So you're plus 18 in free throw attempts, but you're only a plus, plus nine in free throw makes. One team was 15 or 17, the other team was 24, 35. But this is what we know. The Celtics did a better job of closing out the third quarter because what has happened in second quarter, what happened? They were not closing out the quarters. And so they have these big leads, Ocho. And all of a sudden Boston going to run and now all of a sudden they've closed the distance on you. Now they got confidence. They start the fourth on a, on, on a, on a 6070 run and at one point in time it was a 20 point lead. They close out once, they close out the third on a, on a 112 run and now they go on a seven. Now all of a sudden it's a five point game now. Oh, damn. What happened? That team's got confidence. You kind of reeling because you just had this big lead. You're like, oh, here we go again. Yeah, but I got. Give the, you have to give the Celtics a lot of credit. They held their composure, they held their pose. The Knicks tried to make a little run, you know, they were like 25. And next thing you know, they cut it to 17. Missoula called a timeout, they pushed it right back to 23. So get, look, they had a chance for a reason. Big 15 points, nine rebounds, two blocks, six and nine from the field, three or four from the three point line. Fourth all time in playoff games with two blocks and two plus threes, three. This is what he gives you. This is what he's capable of giving you. This is what you expect for him to give you. Przinga's, you know, he had a couple of blocks, he had three blocks, had 19 minutes, he was five and six from the free throw line, gave you five points. But it was Al Horford today. Cat did not take advantage of him like he did in the first game, with the first game or maybe the second game, but he had that you on the block. And he did a number on Alan. Hey, Al ain't been in the league this long for nothing now. Yeah, he understand, he understand. He go back and he's going back and watching tape and see where Cat got the best of him. He's like, okay, I'm gonna send, I'm gonna send you to your weakness. I ain't said I ain't gonna let you play to your strength. But give Al credit, give the Celtics credit, because they came out with a singular focus that was to dominate this game. They got up to the great start. They had 36 in the first quarter, they got 35 in the second quarter, 71 at the half. And once they got that, they didn't look back. They were able to relax. They closed out the quarters and they just knocked down the shots that were open. Yeah, I don't think they did anything different. They just knocked down shots when they were open. They knocked those shots down and they were able to close out quarters.
- [33:56]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, most definitely. That was it. I mean, hell, once they, once they came outta half, Boston outscored the Knicks by 16 in the second half and Dan Bench outscored it. Outscored the Knicks 42 to 23 at that point. It's really, no, it's really no answer for the Knicks when they playing that well.
- [34:14]
Shannon Sharpe
The Nuggets beat the Thunder last night in overtime. Aaron Gordon in the fourth quarter in overtime this postseason, he's shooting 54% from the floor. He's shooting 47% from the 3, 100% from the free throw line. Clutch Nikola Jokic. And the Thunder let one slip because Nikola Jokic had. Might have one of his worst games.
- [34:34]
Commercial Speaker 3
Well, yeah, he said, he said it himself too.
- [34:37]
Shannon Sharpe
And they still won second most missed shots in a playoff game. He was over from the three point line, so he was over 10 from the three point line. He had eight turnovers. So he had, he took. He was 5 of 23. He had 20. He had 16 points. So he had more. He had more shot attempts than points. That's never good, right? But when you got Aaron Gordon doing what he's doing. Michael Porter Jr. Had a signing big time threes. And then Jamal Murray, I mean, what can we say? What can't we say about Jamal Murray? He gets into that zone and he started dealing late in the fourth and the third in the overtime. And then Aaron Gordon, we've seen him hit big threes in the game. One rush, pushing Brown. Get the rebound. Push ahead to Russ, Russ push. Pass it to Gordon on the wing. Bang. Knocks down the three last night. Three pointer the tie the game in the fourth quarter. Late steps up, no hesitation, knocks it down. Yeah, that's what you have to have. That's the mark of a really. That's the mark of a really good. What we got here, of a team that understands the moment. Yeah, they understand the moment. We, we here, we here for a reason. Pull up that game from last night. I got it. I mean, look at this. Aaron Gordon 22 points, plus 15. Michael Porter Jr. 21 points, plus 7. Nicola Jokic had 20 points, plus 5. Jamal Murray 27 points, plus 14, plus minus. Kristen Brown had 8 points, plus 6. Russ. Russ gives him that energy. Russ. I mean, look, like I said, it's a roller coaster. You never know what you're going to get, but you're going to get effort, son. Just play hard. That's what coaches always tell you, son. Just play hard.
- [36:32]
Commercial Speaker 3
Full speed.
- [36:33]
Shannon Sharpe
And that we can teach you everything else. We can't teach you how to play hard. I know Russ go, hey, yeah, he's going to miss some easy shots. You're like, damn, Russ. Yeah, he's going to take some Miller by size shots and you're going to say, damn, Russ. And he going to turn the ball over. You can say damn Russia, but you're like, damn, how Russ get that rebound, man? How Russ get that steal, man? Russ Knocked that down.
- [36:54]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah.
- [36:55]
Shannon Sharpe
Yep. You gonna say damn and yeah a lot. And you have Russ attached to it. Damn, Russ. Yeah, Russ. Shay Gilgis did not have a good night. Seven of 22, only 18 points. Jalen Williams had it going. He had 32 big points. Chad Holmgren had 18 points. They didn't get much from Lou Dort. The bench did not give him what they gave him at home. And normally the bench plays better at home. They got, what, two points from Wallace, seven points from Wiggins, two points from Joe Isa. Joe Caruso gave him seven, J. Williams gave him five. Yeah, but you have. Nuggets have four guys with 20 plus.
- [37:45]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, that's how you answer the bell. That's how you answer the call. You're going to. You go into a hostile environment. You got championship pedigree already.
- [37:55]
Shannon Sharpe
Nuggets were home. Yeah, the first two games was an.
- [37:59]
Commercial Speaker 3
Okay, see, the first two, My bad. My bad. But being. Being able to come back away from a hostile environment and being in front of your crowd, obviously, by 43. Yeah, damn. That Denver shot 49, 45% from the goddamn fields. They had 16 threes. Jamal Murray did what Jamal Murray did. We're used to seeing that. But what nobody's really talking about, we talk about Aaron Gordon, right In the game, he had in his shooting prowess. Now to this point, Aaron Gordon has evolved his game because most of the time we talk about Aaron Gordon, we talk about him being a high flyer.
- [38:35]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [38:35]
Commercial Speaker 3
We talk about him dunking the ball, you know, catching alleys and stuff like that. So his game has evolved to. Now, well, hold on now. We can't just leave him out there. We got to close out on him. You know, he could put the ball in the flow, too. So now he's become more of a. That much more of a valuable player because his shot is on. He had 22 points. He was 7 for 11. He had. He was 4 for 6 from 3. And we'll be talking about. So I think them boys gonna be right. Shay can't have another game like this. No, not, not, not, not. But not with. Not with Williams and goddamn shit showing up. I think. I think chet had what, 16, 17, 18. Yeah, 18. And William. I think William. William contributed to. With 32. Now, Shay, you give us a little. Give us a little bit better than 18. And what we used to seeing from you, you know, I think they gonna. They would have been all right, but he didn't. But you already know what he can do. You already. You. You already know what SGA can do. He probably won't have another game like this.
- [39:37]
Shannon Sharpe
The. The. The. The. I don't even think this game could have been the. The Nuggets gonna have to do a better job of keeping OKC off the glass. They had 18 offensive rebounds. You get that many offensive rebounds, you're gonna get a lot of second chance points. Yeah, and that's the problem that they have. They had 18 offensive rebounds. The Nuggets had five. Five.
- [39:57]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah.
- [39:57]
Shannon Sharpe
Do you know how many second chance opportunities you giving a team to beat you? It's kind of like at some point in time, o. You got to feel on third down, you can't keep letting team get. Get three cracks at you and another three cracks and another three cracks because pretty. Pretty soon the levy is going to burst. Right?
- [40:13]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. Yeah.
- [40:16]
Shannon Sharpe
Points. In this series, the Thunder have scored 372 total points. The Nuggets have scored 340 total points. But the Nuggets are up two. 1. Michael Porter Jr's playing through a shoulder injury that should have sidelined him four to six weeks. I'm not doing that. Porter said he suffered a Grade 2 sprain to his AC joint in his left shoulder during the first round of the playoffs. Man, them AC joints, I don't know if you ever had one.
- [40:40]
Commercial Speaker 3
And you said grade two, but that ain't nothing to play with. What.
- [40:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Cause so he ain't picking that shoulder. That shoulder ain't going much higher than this.
- [40:47]
Commercial Speaker 3
Uh, that's about it.
- [40:49]
Shannon Sharpe
I had a. If they pay for.
- [40:52]
Commercial Speaker 3
Boy, they are.
- [40:58]
Shannon Sharpe
But you know, Ocho, you know what we do put that medicine in. They go on out there.
- [41:02]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, hey, I. I took. I took. Listen, I took. I took the pill. I just took the little pill. I had. I took the pill. It had the little harness where strapped it strapped down right here.
- [41:12]
Shannon Sharpe
Won't you let go? Was so high. Yeah.
- [41:14]
Commercial Speaker 3
I could only go up so far. Yep.
- [41:16]
Shannon Sharpe
But it's hard. I mean, some. I mean, you see a lot of defensive players play with those harnesses because they're not. They don't. They don't have to have. Do all this and all that, especially linebackers or D. Linemen. But if you're a wide receiver, that's. Man, it's virtually impossible. Or tight end is virtually impossible to try to play with that thing.
- [41:31]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yep. And the whole time your body catch everything. Yeah, your body catch everything. I'm. I'm jumping. I'm jumping, you know, across the middle for digs and slants.
- [41:41]
Shannon Sharpe
A ball that gonna hit you between 8 and 4. Now you jumping and catching it in your bread basket.
- [41:44]
Commercial Speaker 3
Catching everything in the bread basket.
- [41:47]
Shannon Sharpe
I've been there. But the Nuggets get come back. Take home court. 22, 21, 20, 27. The big guns fired yesterday for the Nuggets and they went in overtime. 113 to 104.

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them? It's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree 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 online 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 antiperspirant 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. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree cool rush for yourself.

Pat Riley on Jimmy Butler fiasco. I will always say that to the players. If I was coaching, keep your mouth shut. I'll see you next training camp when you get back on the court. But it's different today with players. It's over. I wish him well. Good luck to him. And I hope deep down in his heart somewhere he wishes us well, too. I just turned 80. I'm proud of 80. It's the new 60. I mean, that's how I look at it. I feel great. I'm competitive as hell. You see what I said, Ocho? You see what I'm saying? What did he say? I would tell the players to shut their mouth, but he also said in the same breath, it's different now. Well, if it's different now, who else needs to be different if it's different now? Ocho, he does.
- [45:45]
Commercial Speaker 3
He has to evolve. See, you know why he said what he said. You can tell we had that conversation. Now you believe me. See, I told you. I told you. I say, Pat, you're going to have to loosen the reins a little bit. You're going to have to loosen the reins a little bit for us to get back to our winning ways. You got to have nobody want to come play here. Pat, you got to. You got to settle down, baby.
- [46:06]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [46:07]
Commercial Speaker 3
Let the horse run free a little bit. You got to change your ways because times are different and the players are different. Yeah.
- [46:14]
Shannon Sharpe
Adaptability is the greatest trick to survival. You got to be able to adapt to what the. What? I mean, a guy that's invested now, they're different. You have to invest differently than you did back in the Day, everything. You have to do it differently, Ocho. You just do. And that's why. I mean, I understand. I understand that I couldn't coach, because my mentality doesn't allow me to adapt, not to play, because I don't like having to tell somebody something over and over. Ocho. We go through the thing the whole week, Ocho. Then we go walk through the first 15. And then the night before the game, we get the first 15, and everybody got their play. Everybody got their nose out on your. They looking at the plays right before they go out there the first 15. And I've been damn if somebody don't jump off size. I just look at that.
- [47:02]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, let me tell you something. You know who'd be the one to jump offside, too?
- [47:07]
Shannon Sharpe
You. You.
- [47:12]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey. Cause I know that first play coming to me, I break the huddle. I break the huddle fast and do the one thing I never forget. I forgot who told me. Dale Carter told me.
- [47:23]
Shannon Sharpe
And you pull your glove, you tighten your gloves.
- [47:25]
Commercial Speaker 3
I tighten my glove when I come to the line. And when it's a run play, I don't do it. I'm like, damn, you paying attention to all that? Say, yeah, yeah. Young fell.
- [47:34]
Shannon Sharpe
And they don't guess what they say, oh, that ball coming to you on your heart. You out the gate on that one. Are we being a huddle? Hey, hey. This is the time we gonna get them to jump offside. You know, they get a little tired. They gonna get antsy. You know, they're gonna try to attack the quarterback. We gonna go on two. Blue 17. Blue 17. Huh?
- [48:01]
Commercial Speaker 3
God.
- [48:04]
Shannon Sharpe
How the hell you forget that? For walking from the huddle to the line. Dumb, Dumb.
- [48:13]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, it's so funny. As easy as it sounds, most of the time, I don't think people will understand how hard it is.
- [48:21]
Shannon Sharpe
Bro, I was notorious for it. Hell, I jump offside on her on one, I tell you, ojo, all I hear is, I'm gone. I'm gone.
- [48:39]
Commercial Speaker 3
It's so funny.
- [48:40]
Shannon Sharpe
I don't even want to look at this. I only want to look at the sideline. Mike over there like this here.
- [48:45]
Commercial Speaker 3
I can see Marvin. I can see Marvin with his hand on his hip looking at me right now. Man, they would have to. Carson would have to tell me twice. Boy, it's on two. Tj. Me and TJ Break the huddle. If TJ And I. If we got a slot formation, we going to the same side, man. He had to say, boy, Ocho, it's on two. Yeah, it's on Two. This is a friendly reminder, boy. Cause, boy, I'd be so antsy, I'd be ready to get up out of that, boy.
- [49:10]
Shannon Sharpe
As a matter of fact, son, don't even run no route. I don't even want you to go out. Just stay here. Cause we know we tell you to do something, you go jump outside. And Alex Gill rest this so he would quit. Ish for brains.
- [49:25]
Commercial Speaker 3
Oh, them some goodies.
- [49:25]
Shannon Sharpe
You got to be the dumbest. Yeah, man. But that's why, man, that first 15 used to get me every time. Ocho. We work on it the whole week. We go out there and walk through it Saturday morning. We do it again Saturday night. And the meal right before, after, we get together with your offense. Get together. We go to the first 15. These gonna be our plays. I'm looking because I'd write down like, okay.
- [49:52]
Commercial Speaker 3
1, 2, 3.
- [49:53]
Shannon Sharpe
Okay. I got four opportunities in the first 50 games.
- [49:56]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, okay.
- [49:57]
Shannon Sharpe
I'm feeling pretty good.
- [49:59]
Commercial Speaker 3
Okay, hold on. And this. And this is one thing, too. Don't break the huddle. And they in the right defense. When you go through the script and you get to your play and then the right defense and you know you getting the ball. What? Carson, if you don't hurry up and say set hype, please.
- [50:17]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Hey, don't do all that. Blue, red. Just say hut. All that, man, come on, man. Damn. All that other stuff, we don't need that. Just say go. I'm gone, man.
- [50:31]
Commercial Speaker 3
Come on, now.
- [50:32]
Shannon Sharpe
It doesn't like that, man. We had a play called one time, Moto. We played in Detroit. It might have been my last year in Denver. I think it was 03. Perfect call. Oh, they call this thing and say normally, like 85% of the time, they gonna play cover two. They'll line up like this, but they gonna play cover two. Right? Hey, 84. All you gotta do is get down the hole. It's a touchdown. Until we backed up, too. It's gonna be like a 90.
- [50:58]
Commercial Speaker 3
Ooh.
- [51:01]
Shannon Sharpe
How about the quarterback throw the ball to the damn flat.
- [51:05]
Commercial Speaker 3
Wait in cover two.
- [51:07]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [51:09]
Commercial Speaker 3
Well, he gonna give somebody killed.
- [51:14]
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Lord have mercy.
- [51:19]
Commercial Speaker 3
All you had to beat was the middle backer, right?
- [51:22]
Shannon Sharpe
All it had to be. I was gone. Cause we ran. Cause we kind of ran like a counter. We had run this play earlier. Not earlier that year, but in 2001. 2002, when I hit Kansas City, we ran like a counter pass. And they split cover, too. And I had to. All I had to do was beat the linebacker. I beat him greasy hit me. Hey, I Put that thing like this here. I was gone. So this was right here. Ocho. That thing split. I mean them safeties got so wide and the backer didn't even run.
- [51:58]
Commercial Speaker 3
Oh, he ain't shoot back.
- [51:59]
Shannon Sharpe
He ain't shoot back or nothing. He held. He tripping because what we did, we faked it and so now we fake it. Oh, and the back drew him up a little bit. Yeah, in the back.
- [52:10]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. It bought you a little time.
- [52:16]
Shannon Sharpe
Cause all you want is one of those big. See you get one of them big ones early, Ocho. Now I'm thinking, oh, this one 50, 200 yard day now.
- [52:23]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, easy, Easy day, Pat.
- [52:26]
Shannon Sharpe
You have to change your ways. Derek Carr announces his retirement from the NFL. Ocho, 34, recently underwent multiple medical evaluations on his show. Shoulder. Shoulder was deemed the only route back to 100% and that would mean up to six months of recovery. Car retires after staying on 11 seasons. He's a four time Pro Bowler. 257 touchdowns, 41,000 passing yards, top 25 all time, third place in the MVP vote. He walks away from 30 mil.
- [52:57]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hey, I have a question. Yeah, I'm confused. We in April. Yeah, we just had the draft. The season ended how long ago? December.
- [53:09]
Shannon Sharpe
Well, they season ended in January. Beginning of January. But he know his season been over because he got hurt. Remember Rattler been playing?
- [53:16]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. So I'm trying to understand why wasn't the situation rectified. So you come into this season healthy. Why are we still talking about the same thing we were talking about last year?
- [53:25]
Shannon Sharpe
You know sometimes, don't you, you know they give you say rest and then when rest don't do it. Now see now you done let two months pass and rest when you should have went and had that shoulder.
- [53:35]
Commercial Speaker 3
Listen, you know good and well you don't play route, nothing like that. Anything with the upper extremities, with the arms, especially when it comes to a quarterback, you want to get all those issues done and out the way. If there was even a thought or inclination that there's something wrong with it that would hamper your throwing motion or playing your position at the best of your ability to. You go get it fixed.
- [53:56]
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, you go get it.
- [53:57]
Commercial Speaker 3
You go get it fixed.
- [53:58]
Shannon Sharpe
Derek Carr has made $205 million in his career. He has a 7792 record, 4. 455 win percentage. Just one trip to the playoffs and I think they lost to you guys. The ninth most cash. From 2014 to 2024, Aaron Rodgers has made 292 million first cousins. 291, Matthew Stafford. 287, Russell Wilson. 264, Dak Prescott. 244 Jared Goff. 234 Matt Ryan. 222, Tom Brady. 198, Derek Carr. 196. And my homeboy 179.
- [54:41]
Commercial Speaker 3
But them, boy, them boy make a pretty penny. Boy, they make a pretty penny. And you know the funny thing about it?
- [54:46]
Shannon Sharpe
I was upset.
- [54:47]
Commercial Speaker 3
I was sad. You know, I don't like to see players hurt. Hell, I got damn tweeted the, the broken heart emoji about Derek Carr being gone. And then I had to remember, well, you know what the people in, the people in, in New Orleans, in Baton Rouge, in Louisiana, man, they happy, they cheering, they second lining. Oh, I mean, I know you, you're happy. Derek Carr is going. You didn't like your quarterback that you had. But now who you got? Now you got Spencer Rattler. No disrespect.
- [55:14]
Shannon Sharpe
They took, they took the quarterback. What his name? Slot? Shook. They took Shook. I'm just telling you who they took. I, I ain't, I ain't shucking with Jojo. That's who they took. They took Shook.
- [55:32]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, that's, that's exactly how the Saints gonna be. They gonna be shook until they get a goddamn quarterback. You know, listen, my people in New Orleans, boy, we ain't got no patience. We ain't got no patience. We done dealt with too much. We need a quarterback.
- [55:46]
Shannon Sharpe
Well, what happens is you get spoiled. You had Drew Brees for 15 years. You expect every quarterback. You're not going to be Green Bay. You're not going to have Brett Favre for 15, 20 years. You're not going to have Aaron Rodgers for 20 years. And then you have Jordan.
- [56:01]
Commercial Speaker 3
Love.
- [56:02]
Shannon Sharpe
Love. That ain't happening. You're not going to have. Most teams don't get to have 30, 40 years. I mean, you're talking about could be 40 plus years of prosperity at the quarterback position. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, that is absurd to think about it. Because think about it. You had 17 years with about 17 years with Favre, and then you had another 18 years with Rodgers, and now you have love. So that's, that's what, 30, 35 years. So you're about to have 45, maybe even 50 years of prosperity at the quarterback position.
- [56:34]
Commercial Speaker 3
And. Hold on. And not just any quarterback. We talk about them boys.
- [56:37]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Rogers is one of the greatest of.
- [56:41]
Commercial Speaker 3
All time, as was Brett Favre.
- [56:44]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [56:44]
Commercial Speaker 3
And, and, and listen, Jordan Love on in his own right is on his way to be just that as well.
- [56:49]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [56:49]
Commercial Speaker 3
As he continues to improve year in, year out.
- [56:52]
Shannon Sharpe
But Derek Carr is done. He says, no, I don't want to go go through that anymore. He says, I talked it over, my wife and my family and six months of rehab for 30 million, like, nah, it ain't even worth it.
- [57:05]
Commercial Speaker 3
Hold on, hold on. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Stay with me right now. Hey, Chad. Y' all stay with me real quick. My Saints fans, tell me what you think about this. Now I know based on what we saw from him last year, it wasn't anything too hype about. It wasn't nothing to second line about. But how about Aaron Rodgers coming in for a year in New Orleans until we get the rookie right for Spencer Ratlick. And also watch and learn behind him. What y' all think about that? I know I got some Saint fans in the chat. I'm just curious, what's your thought on that?
- [57:32]
Shannon Sharpe
I'll let the Saint fans try being that one.
- [57:36]
Commercial Speaker 3
No. Yes.
- [57:36]
Shannon Sharpe
No.
- [57:36]
Commercial Speaker 3
What you think? One year.
- [57:39]
Shannon Sharpe
No.
- [57:40]
Commercial Speaker 3
No. Okay.
- [57:42]
Shannon Sharpe
I didn't work out for the Jets. He was there two years.
- [57:44]
Commercial Speaker 3
Okay. I mean, I mean, you're right. I. I'm just curious. I was just curious, you thought process and bringing in the veteran presence, you know, to see what they could do with Aaron. But if you say the thing is.
- [57:53]
Shannon Sharpe
On Jo, but you're bringing them in for one year, what are we getting out of one year?
- [57:58]
Commercial Speaker 3
Development for the younger quarterbacks, allowing them to see how it should let them develop.
- [58:03]
Shannon Sharpe
You told me guys don't get better by being on the bench. That's what you tell me.
- [58:09]
Commercial Speaker 3
You right, you right, you right. I was just curious.
- [58:11]
Shannon Sharpe
Saints head coach Kellen Moore said he will rotate all their quarterbacks, give them all opportunities as one tries to seize the starting job. We're going to let all three of these guys roll. Each will be given a chance to win the Saints starting job.
- [58:28]
Commercial Speaker 3
The people in the chat, the Saints.
- [58:30]
Shannon Sharpe
Fans that got fucked.
- [58:32]
Commercial Speaker 3
This shit we cooked.
- [58:35]
Shannon Sharpe
Here's some stats for SH. He has the second worst quarterback accuracy versus power five opponents of any quarterback in this class. 42% completion rate when precious. 58% completion rate when blitzed. Solid performance when kept clean. All quarterbacks are good when you keep them clean.
- [58:56]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah, you got.
- [58:58]
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, oh, my house is immaculate when it's clean. Duh.
- [59:05]
Commercial Speaker 3
Listen, under pressure. Under pressure.
- [59:09]
Shannon Sharpe
A lot of times you're going to be under pressure.
- [59:10]
Commercial Speaker 3
Yeah. Exactly how accurate and consistent can you be when you're under duress. That's the, that's the tall tale time of a great quarterback. Always calm under pressure. Always, always accurate under pressure regardless of what's coming coming at him from all time. Man, it's that's like, that's why I questioned the draft again. That's why I questioned the draft again. Could you take those same numbers you just talked about and I'm not going to say his name, but you know who I'm talking about. And you look at what he had to deal with because his offensive line play wasn't that good, but for some reason, I mean he was highly accurate still. Yeah, it's funny how that works but that, that's neither here nor there.
- [59:57]
Shannon Sharpe
So as a wide receiver, you want a guy that can catch the ball in traffic. Hell, anybody can catch when they wide open. I hope the hell the volume okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. Their fans rebelled and wanted the old SIM back. And Degree Listen, that doesn't happen often. They admitted that 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 it's the number one Manzani Perspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local stores to try the OG Cool Rush for yourself.
