In short

Nightcap Hour 1 covers the Minnesota Timberwolves closing out the Denver Nuggets in Game 6, plus a blowout Knicks win over the Hawks, and a playful “Shiesty Joe” bit about not paying “Ocho.”

Guests/backgrounds

Chad Ochocinco Johnson (former NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver) co-hosts. The other co-host is “ISO Joe” (former NBA player, 7-time All-Star; referenced as from the Atlanta Hawks).

Key claims

  • Timberwolves won 110-98 despite missing Ant-Man (Anthony Edwards), DeVincenzo, Ayo, and Kyle Anderson.
  • Jaden McDaniels was the series/game key: elite defense on Jamal Murray and big scoring/boards in the closeout.
  • Terrence Shannon Jr. provided the offensive spark (aggressive, 9-for-20 shooting).
  • Jokic was limited by Rudy Gobert’s physical defense; Murray went 4-for-17 (12 points).
  • Knicks dominated the Hawks 140-89; halftime lead 83-36, record-setting playoff blowout.

Notable examples

  • McDaniels: 32 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 0 turnovers (closeout stat comparison to Kobe/Bird/Tatum).
  • Shannon: 30 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, big shots to stop Nuggets runs.
  • Knicks: OG plus 42; Brunson plus 41; Bridges plus 40.

Those two last two scratched earlier in the day. The other two was out, and Devo is out for the remainder of the playoffs, and Ant-Man is out for a couple of weeks. But the Minnesota Timberwolves get it done thanks to an outstanding game from Jaden Daniels. Rudy Gobert did his thing. He was two assists short of a triple-double. They played well. We'll get into that game in just a minute.

5:01Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all know who I am. I'm your favorite up. There's my partners and co-hosts, Liberty City's own, a six-time Pro Bowl player, an all-pro.

Please drink responsibly and be safe. the Timberwolves take down the Denver Nuggets minus four of their top eight, nine players to win the game, 110-98 but Jaden McDaniel was sensational, he played outstanding defense this entire series and when they needed big bucket after big bucket down the stretch tonight, he got it done Joe, I thought we were going to have a game seven especially once you, for once I found out A.O.

6:39Shannon Sharpe:wasn't playing, Kyle Anderson is not going to play. So they got a fan, bitch. They're fan. At max, they're going to play eight players, possibly six to seven. But they went eight. Bones Highland played nine minutes. How were the Timberwolves able to get this done tonight and move on? Minus Ant-Man, minus Devo, minus A-O, minus Kyle Anderson. Hey, hey, Ocho, the Timberwolves took a page out of my book tonight. They chose violence, baby. They chose violence tonight. Wait, hold on. Out of your book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm choosing violence tonight. Anyway, listen. Ocho, shout out to Terrence Shannon, bro.

7:20Shannon Sharpe:He came. Hey, when you watch a team who got a chance to put a team away, you seen how that young man came out, Uncle Ocho, how he started the game, ultra aggressive? Man, he went nine for 20. This is a guy who really don't even get clocked like that because he playing behind Ant-Man. You know what I mean? But the minutes, when he do get minutes, the times I've seen him play, this is how he play, bro. He attacks the rim. He put pressure on you. And he make you, you know, he's looking, he's seeking contact. Man, I thought he the one jump-started him, if y 'all want me to keep it 100. I thought he jump-started him.

7:55Shannon Sharpe:He had a hell of a first quarter. Just his aggressiveness alone, you know, I thought it set the tone. And the Timberwolves, they played like this was their game seven. They was not trying to go back to Denver. This was a chance. And I thought they played a hell of a game. A lot of guys stepped up. Look at Jay McDaniel. This is what I be talking about, bro. I know he got it in him, Uncle Ojo. I know he got plenty of game. Yeah. I just be waiting for him to, you know, come out with him tonight. Hey man, he looked like he was a man possessed, bro. On both ends of the court, chasing the hell out of Jamal Murray.

8:28Shannon Sharpe:Where Jamal Murray went, Uncle? 4-17. 12 points, zero for two from three point line. Christian Brown wasn't much better. He was one for four. He only shot four times, but they were terrible in this series. They were. I mean, Jaden McDaniels, you know, I don't want to say it's all on Jamal Murray because I thought Jaden McDaniels is one of the better defenders in this league, and he showed why. He did an outstanding job. Jaden McDaniels did an outstanding job. He forced him to take difficult shots, and Murray is a difficult shot taker and maker, but not tonight, not in this series. He hounded him, and the points that he got, he made him take a – yeah, he had 30, but it's taking him 25, 30, 25, 26 shots to get it.

9:12Shannon Sharpe:I can live with that. To make it, yeah. I can't let you get that number being efficient. And that's what he did tonight. Four of 17, 12 points. Minus 18 plus minus. Christian Brown wasn't much better tonight, but I thought Julius Randle played well. Jade McDaniel was unbelievable. And Rudy Gobert, the unsung hero. He made Yoke work for everything that he got. He challenged everything. And Yoke got it going into the second half. But it was a little bit too late and not enough to overcome what the Minnesota Timberwolves had going on. Ocho, what did you see from this game? Hey, that goddamn J. McDaniels.

9:49J. McDaniels, he was the key to the whole series, not just the game tonight. He set the tone from the time when Anthony Edwards was playing, when Anthony Edwards did go out, but everything about Young Bull is special. Hey, Joe, sometimes we talk about Jalen Johnson and what he's supposed to be, and I visualize Jaden McDaniels. You understand what I'm saying? The way you talk about Young Bull is what I think he's supposed to look like. He's supposed to look like Jaden McDaniels. Man, dude went crazy tonight, Uncle Joe.

10:23Shannon Sharpe:Look, when you think about it, at 6 '9", He probably got like a 7-2 reach. I'll tell you, Joe. Chasing Murray off them picks to where he can contest from behind and just make it tough for him. I think when you're able to play like that defensively, meaning J. McDaniel, and come back and go at your man offensively, bro, you in some pretty good damn shape. You know what I mean? And if we're about to cut you off, Joe, he played 45 minutes tonight. Yeah. Hey, look, we got to have it. If you got to play 48, hell, you're going to play 48 tonight. But we got to have this tonight. They got 41 out of Rudy.

11:01Shannon Sharpe:When was the last time Rudy played 40-plus minutes? I don't know, but Rudy's been key in this series. He's been unbelievable. Hey, he's been really key in this series. Even though Jokic, you know, he kind of got in tonight. But really, when you think about it, the goddamn Nuggets offensively, hell, goddamn Aaron Gordon didn't play. And goddamn Jamal Murray, he was a no-show, no disrespect. I know he did a little something, but it was really a no-show. It was a one-man show out there for them tonight. And got them brother Shannon, young bull, taking the play for him. Man, listen, man. He nice. He nice.

11:37Hey, I got to have it. It's my time to shine. I got to have it. He showed up to the goddamn party tonight.

11:44Shannon Sharpe:Listen, in the second half, when I seen Murray wasn't having a great game, Uncle Ocho, I knew Minnesota had a great chance to win this game. You know, he just didn't look like he was in rhythm. Yeah. They was going at him when he was on defense and offensive. They was making him work too. He was attacking him. Yeah, Jokic got off. Jokic got off, but I was saying like, oh, they in good hands. You know, he ain't really getting nothing easy. He just got such great touch around like even two, three to four to five feet from the hoop. Uncle Ocho, you see that man touch? Yep. He shoot the floater. Like he got a real soft touch around that basket, which makes him super effective because he don't have to get all the way to the rim.

12:20Shannon Sharpe:And that's where he was trying to beat Rudy at tonight. And he kind of got him a little bit, but at the same time, Rudy still made him work, still played great defense. And then I know Minnesota feeling good, bro, to have Ant-Man out, Devin Chinzo out, and then you have other guys who really don't even play, bro, step up and play like that young man Shannon did. Oh, yeah. Okay, Ocho, this is what the playoffs is about, bro. This is where, you know, stars are born. Guys, you get an opportunity. You got to relish those moments and do whatever you can, bro, to put your stamp on the game. Like, for me, it's just from the jump, bro.

12:54Shannon Sharpe:It's how he started the game. They won lethargic. They was playing like it was game seven for real from the jump. The energy was in the arena. Like, it was fun to watch, bro. Joe, looking at these, Jamal Murray had 13 fewer shot attempts than points. He had 129 shots. He scored 142 points. 36%. Yeah. And they're going at, like you said, okay, he's struggling. They're attacking it. He's struggling to get his shot off against McDaniels, but he's struggling to stay in front of Shannon. He's struggling to stay in front of it. What I couldn't understand, I think it was a four-point game, and he's guarding Shannon.

13:40Shannon Sharpe:Shannon is left-handed. Tell me the left-handed player, Joe, that you haven't seen that is so dominant that he's comfortable going right.

17:51Shannon Sharpe:Look at Julius Randle. Look at Zeebo. Look at Manu. Look at Sharuna's Marcelonas. A left-handed guy, when the rubber needs to meet the road, he's getting to his left side. Why the hell is Murray shading him on his right? Make him go right. He wasn't used to guarding that man. He wasn't used to his tendencies. Yeah, he left-handed. We know he go hard left. But, hell, he ain't been playing in the series. So, when he does get his opportunity, maybe Murray wasn't thinking about that. Well, damn, he left-handed. But he playing with such thrust. What does Scottie Report say, Joe? Do y 'all get Scottie Report?

18:28Shannon Sharpe:We normally get Scottie Report. Even though the guy's not the starter, he comes in. He's a snatch guy. He's a bull guy. He's a rip guy. Okay, this guy that's playing corner, he's not the normal guy. He's going to play off. He's not as physical, but he's a cluer. He likes to guess. What's the scouting report saying? Hell, he probably on the last page of the damn scouting report. The man probably ain't. He ain't no focal point. They probably weren't thinking that man was going to come out playing with that type of intensity from the jump. because he wasn't deferring to Randall. He wasn't deferring to Conley.

19:03Shannon Sharpe:He wasn't deferring to McDaniel. That man went nine for 20. He got 20 shots up. Yeah, hell yeah. He was aggressive. And it seemed like somebody put it in his head, like, look, bro, go out there and just give him hell. I'm talking about go at they neck. Don't let him rest because they probably going to put Jamal Murray on you. Make his ass work. And I'm talking about every chance he got, bro, he attacked him from start to finish. Hey, they young boy can play. Hey, they got to keep him in the lineup now. Well, they ain't got no choice. They ain't got no choice. But what I'm saying is they had Dusamo, Ayo, coming.

19:37Shannon Sharpe:He was starting. Yeah, but Ayo was out. I'm saying. I know, but I'm saying is he coming back? Shit, he just had a calf. Yeah. So when he comes back, maybe you keep him in that six-man road where he come off the bench and he can be that spark plug too. No, what you call him? Nas Reed's going to be your six-man off the bench. He's the first guy off the bench. man you got that young man shannon just gave you a game like that bro in a closeout game okay ocho real talk yeah i wouldn't want to be the head coach joe no i mean it's a good problem hey when shannon playing like that nazi playing the way way playing i wouldn't want to be that coach and having to decide who get minutes and who don't in the playoff series because he had uh nazi gave you 30 he gave you 15 points seven rebounds four assists not and knock down big shot every big shot that they needed to make every time Denver tried to make a run you had somebody from the uh the T Wolves making big shots and that's what you have to have because you have to snuff out because look you know they're gonna make you know they're gonna make a run that's what the NBA is all about runs okay when they make their run can we have find someone to step up and make a big shot to quail it and seemingly every time the Nuggets made a run they got within five they They got within three.

20:48Shannon Sharpe:They got within two. Somebody would come down, boom. Off it, they got a rebound. How many times did they get a rebound? Save the ball, get it back, rebound, and one. Listen, I did not expect the Nuggets to lose this game. I said they're going back to game seven. I just knew it, especially with Ant-Man and Devo out. And then when you hear about DeSamo and Kyle Anderson. So you got four of your 10-man rotation out of the lineup. Hey, I agree. I agree with you. I agree. I didn't expect the T-Wolves to win this game, but boy, I ain't going to lie to y 'all. The first seven minutes of the game, I said, oh, yeah.

21:23Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Timberwolves come to play tonight. This young man here, he done got an opportunity. And I just felt, you know, yeah, you know, Randall going to give you some good minutes. I like him. I mean, 6 of 17, I ain't mad at that because he was aggressive too. Jay McDaniel, 25 shots. I love it because I need, look, you got Devin Chinzo and Ant-Man out. It's some shots to go around. Somebody got to be aggressive. You know what I mean? So that's why I'm so impressed with Shannon and McDaniels because they answered the bell, bro. They knew they was needed tonight to be able to close out this series, knowing them where they cannot go back to Denver.

21:59Shannon Sharpe:And them two alone, I thought they were aggressive defensively and offensively, you know, they felt like they were 1A, both of them. You look at Naj Reed off the bench, 15.7 rebounds. He's leading all centers in playoff bench points in the 2020s. Rudy Gobert, 10 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, a career playoff high, 2 blocks. He was 4 of 6 from the floor. He's the only player with 30-plus wins against Nikola Jokic. Damn.

22:35Shannon Sharpe:He did this without Ant. He did this without Devo. He did this without L. So he took guys that normally come off the bench. Mike Conley. When's the last time Mike Conley started a game? Terrence Shannon. When's the last time he started a game? Boy, it's been a minute. It's been a minute now. But when you get your moments, you can't be in awe of the moment. Like, damn, this is game six. Oh, man. No, bro. You trained your whole life to be for moments like this. And you didn't know when it was going to come. All you know that is here now. Now you said, if I ever got this opportunity, Here it is. What are you going to do with it?

23:14Shannon Sharpe:Hey, and these are the most dangerous guys, bro, to have on the court, meaning Shannon, because like I continue to say, he didn't get a lot of minutes during the regular season. He hadn't got a lot of minutes in this playoff series. So as the Nuggets approached this game, I promise you, they was not thinking that man was going to come out and play with this type of thrust. No. Ocho, you know what I mean? Like, I ain't going to lie. I was shocked. I was shocked because of the confidence that the young man had. And like I said, he wasn't deferring. He knew it was at least, hell, it was at least 40 shots to go around.

23:53Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to take 20 of them. That's what he said. McDaniel, hey, hey. McDaniel said, I got the other 25. So, bro, you got to love what you're seeing from the Timberwolves tonight. Hey, Joe, when you have a player like that who's really never started before and he's thrust into the lineup. The green light to be able to shoot at a high clip of 20 shots like that, that comes from the head coach, right, huh? Basically. Yeah, well, not only the head coach, but your teammates patting you on the back, you know, letting you know. Probably Ant-Man probably let him know yesterday. Let it rip. Huh? They just say let it rip, huh?

Read the full transcript

24:28Shannon Sharpe:Man, Ant-Man probably pulled him to the side yesterday at practice and was like, hey, look, bro. Hey, you got to go out there and go at them boys, man. You know what I mean? In order for us to win, you're going to have to be aggressive. because from what I seen in that first quarter, that's what it seemed like. You know what I mean? The way he was attacking, getting down here, getting to that cup. I'm talking about, hey, look, I was over here crunk. Hey, it's been a long day for you, boy, but I was hyped. Barry, you know what? I was disappointed with the way Yoke came out. He came out looking to pass, trying to get everybody involved.

24:59Shannon Sharpe:You had six assists in the first half. That wasn't the type of game that they needed, Joe. They needed a 30-shot game from him, and he needs to understand that. He wore down because, think about it, he got a four-minute break to start the second quarter. He played the entire first. He played also, he played 20 minutes in the first half, and he didn't sit down to the final, what, 30, 40 seconds in the game. So he played 45. He played 43, 44 minutes. But you trying to – bro, everybody else involved, ain't nobody else going to win you this game. You. We've seen Jamal Murray against Jayden McDaniels.

25:36Shannon Sharpe:You've seen it. I don't know what else you need to see. You're counting Christian Brown. Really? Bruce Brown. Hell, look like Charlie Brown was out there. I couldn't tell. That's embarrassing. But think about what you're just saying. You needed a 30-shot game from God damn Jokic. But look what Moody Gobert has done to him the past two games. He's made it very difficult for him. So obviously, he's a little bit reluctant to go at Rudy Gobert and be aggressive when he gets the ball. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to wait, I'm going to facilitate the beginning, and when I get my opportunities, then I'm going to take them because Rudy Gobert had been having me in the goddamn blender the past two games.

26:22Shannon Sharpe:Rudy had him in the straight jacket. And the games that he shot, 20 plus, 25, 26 shots, Joe, he's making eight of them. He's making 10 of them. So he's kind of reluctant. He's like, well, you know, maybe I can get somebody else going, and then later. but you so far you're behind it takes you so much energy to get back into it the last five minutes if you haven't gotten the lead or taken if you hadn't taken the lead or tied you're going to be out he was there he can't I mean have a big now you say well Rudy played 41 but they're not asking Rudy to do what he done on the offensive end Rudy 8 just make sure anything come in here challenge it get us a rebound give us some second chance points, but your whole offense is sitting around Yoke, and he wore down.

27:07Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but it looked like he wore down, Joe, the last four or five minutes of the game. I will say that. Here's what I will say, too. I think Yoke came out because he knew he needed to get Jamal Murray going. I get what you're saying, but Denver's a different team when Jamal is playing great. If y 'all really think about it, uh yokich ain't really had no big numbers in the first half none of these games really you know i i think you know so they brought cam johnson came along for the ride he was making shots tonight if you get married and make some shots i ain't saying he gotta be 50 but if he could have been halfway decent maybe they really had a chance to win bro but i think yokich was trying to feel that out at first and then he seen he had to pick it up and yeah i think at the end he ran out of gas yeah He definitely ran out of gas.

28:01You look at Murray.

28:07Shannon Sharpe:The first game they won, but he was 7 of 22. 31%. Next game, he was 11 of 25. 44%. Game 3, he was 5 of 17. 29%. Game 4, he was 10 of 25. 40%. Game 5, 9 of 23. 39%. Tonight, 4 of 17, 23%.

28:39Shannon Sharpe:What did McDaniel say when he called all them out? He said, none of them guard. Hello. He said, none of them guard. I mean, yeah, oh, yeah, they are dynamite offensively, but who they guarding? There you go. So, listen, if we can maintain defensively, meaning make their ass work make tomorrow murray work for every shot he get if he make more than he missed tonight pat him on his butt good game let's go on on to the next one but for the most part he gonna work hard offensively defensively he ain't really putting a whole lot of effort into it but we're gonna make his ass put some effort into it if not get what you gonna go back to denver partner yep yeah yeah so i the the confidence that mcdaniel's played with this series whether ant-man was playing or not that's what i'm talking about bro yeah in order for y 'all to continue to win y 'all got to hang out head on defense and then offensively if he could play anywhere close to what he played to tonight yeah i ain't saying you know shannon i think he will continue to still be a a threat randall didn't play i think he played a great game but his aggressiveness him asserting himself you know through throughout this game is what helped him and obviously Rudy, bro.

29:54Shannon Sharpe:Rudy playing great. Who they got next round? San Antonio. Eh. But hey, listen. What's the chances? Zero. What? No, I'm saying they went. No, I'm not winning the series, but Anthony Ed was coming back. He probably won't be back until the day. They said a couple of weeks. Game three? I don't see him coming back in the series. You see him coming back, Joe? that bone bruised man yeah it's gonna linger for a minute bro shit it's probably gonna be a month before he start to even feel better damn Jello a month yeah he hyper extended you see how he's ligated and they say he dodged the bullet because of ligaments we normally see when football players knee go like that you remember Patrick Mahomes how his knee buckle like that don't you it tore everything that's ACL Yeah.

30:49Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. He tore everything. So he really dodged the bullet. But I thought the Nuggets players that you're counting on to make plays didn't play well. Yes. Now, Aaron Gordon, you and the Nuggets need to get together. You need to find out why your hamstring keep coming up bulky. Is it mechanically? Is it the way you're training? Is it the way you're eating? Something is going on. Joe, you're not supposed to have hamstring issues like that. that's the second year in a row second year in a row and he had it i don't know what it is but you make too much money and the and and and the nuggets have too much money and have too much y 'all have too much access to not find out if i'm him i'm going to every specialist hip down what is going on what am i doing wrong why am i imbalanced why do i keep pulling this hamstring why does it keep tugging what am i doing something it's not no it's not not not it's not not no no no yeah yeah they got to figure it out because they missed him yes for sure yeah oh joe when he did play he didn't really do nothing talk about talk about missing but hey hey i think that's what made this what that's what balanced the series out to me if you really think about it They didn't have Aaron Gordon, who was really like a difference maker for them because he'd do a lot of garbage.

32:17Shannon Sharpe:He'd do a little bit of everything. Knock down big shots. Remember, it was him last year against OKC. Playing huge. Yeah, played big. And then with Minnesota not having Ant-Man and DiVincenzo and Ayo, bro, you don't expect. Everybody thought this thing was going seven. We all thought it was going back to Denver. Right. You did. But you know what, Joe? Ocho, this is a dangerous team where they ain't got no expectations on them because everybody's expecting them to lose. That's what I'm saying, bro. So now, oh, you expect me to lose? I'll come out there because normally when you get a lead like this, what they say, Joe, you playing with?

33:01Shannon Sharpe:Man, you playing with house money. No, no, no, no. I got this. Like you get up on the casino. No, hell no. That was the casino money. It's in my pocket. Now, if I lose it, that's my money going back to them. Damn, you talking about house money. That's mine. So the team will say, damn, that three. Yeah, we got a 3-1 lead. Yeah, we got a 3-2 lead. But this ain't no house money no more. We got it. We got this lead. This is our money. And we ain't trying to get back to them. And I do think sometimes when teams, you have this, and there aren't any – everybody expected them to lose. Man, how y 'all going to win without Ant?

33:33Shannon Sharpe:How y 'all going to lose without Debo? How y 'all going to lose without A-O? A-O been balling. How y 'all going to win without that? Well, we going to show you. Right. Chris Finch put a game plan in and says, look, them guys can't guard. Not one. They don't have one guy on their roster that can guard. So, look, attack. Hello. Attack. Yeah. And they did it at an elite level tonight, too. I'm saying the attacking on offense was tremendous, but the defense on them perimeter guys, yeah, Johnson got away because he made shots. but I'm particularly talking about Murray. Chasing him over them picks. Not going under not one time because we know we can't go under him.

34:17Shannon Sharpe:We're going to chase and we're going to have that rear view contest. You know what I mean? And we're going to make it tough. We're going to challenge him at the rim. I just thought, man, the game plan was great. But y 'all know this, Arcan Ocho. The coaches can draw all these damn game plans up all they want to. It's up to the players when you get in between them damn lines. Got to execute, Joe. To compete. To compete at the highest level, bro. Yeah. That was competition at its finest, bro. That was it. Sometimes, Ocho, what we say, son, you just got to make a play. I ain't got no magic marker.

34:49Shannon Sharpe:I ain't got no. I can't draw Ish up on the board. Oh, yeah. Go on out there and make a play. You got to. Hey, Shannon, Shannon showed you that tonight, Joe. Man. Get out there and do what you do. He might be one of my new favorite players, bro. Hey, you know what's this? Go ahead, Joe, finish. When you think about it, because I know a lot of people, Chad, y 'all hear me out. You talk about these guys who be on the bench who never play. And you be like, man, them dudes, bombs. They scrubs. They can't play. Okay. You put them in the right situation, give them an opportunity, like Shannon got tonight.

35:28Shannon Sharpe:But like I've told y 'all already, I've watched the T-Wolves play numerous of times this season, bro. And every time that man has got in the game, it may be eight minutes left on the clock. It may be five minutes left in the fourth quarter, his first time getting in. Okay, Osho, that man attacks the basket like that, bro. He ultra athletic. Ooh, that boy nasty. Yeah. Ooh, he was nasty. And I'm looking at Jamal Murray had two fouls. Christian Brown had two fouls. What the hell am I supposed to do with that, Joe? You better tell me you ain't got me two fouls? They supposed to take them home with him?

36:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. What the hell you want? Hey, I got four fouls left over. For what?

36:09Shannon Sharpe:Hey, look, they either going to have to use them because the way they was going at them boys, okay, Ocho, what else they were going to do? We know, listen, the Timberwolves know, bro, they don't have no rim protection whatsoever. If you get by your man out here on the perimeter, boy, you're going to have a layup or a dunk. First of all, they as bad as the Lakers. They ain't got nobody can stay in front of somebody. Jamar Murray can't. Cam Johnson can't. Spencer Jones can't. Jokic damn sure can't. The only thing that's saving Jokic is Rudy ain't got no handles and going to put pressure on him like that.

36:46Shannon Sharpe:But if they ever get his ass in the picket roll and get on the edge, it's to – Yes, sir. Hey, Joe, you remember in high school, you got to drag that foot when you lay that thing up in the layup line. Yes, sir. Yes. You dragged that foot on him, Joe. That is A. Congratulations to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They advanced 4-2 over the Denver Nuggets thanks to a 1-10-98 victory minus Ant-Man, minus Devo, minus A-O and Kyle Anderson. The last two guys came up on the injury report earlier today. They were out, but they get it done thanks to big-time playing basketball by Jaden McDaniels and Terrence Shannon.

37:33Shannon Sharpe:Hey, even Mike Conley came, the old Wiley vet. Hell, Mike Conley been at least down to 20 years while y 'all bull-jiving. Hey, Mike Conley can play. All we needed him to be was pedestrian tonight. We didn't need him to be a star. We just needed him to control tempo. You know, make sure everybody under control. Play solid defense. Be scrappy. Let's all gain rebound. Mike Conley, now he got his nose in there trying to get a few rebounds. I thought they were the more desperate team tonight, Uncle Ocho. Jaden McDaniels in game six, 32 points, 10 rebounds, two steals, zero turnovers. He's the first Western Conference player with a 30-point, 10 rebounds, two steal closeout game, and zero turnovers since Kobe.

38:17Shannon Sharpe:Here's the last player of the 30-10, two steals. Jaden McDaniels, he had 30-10 and two. Jason Tatum had 51-13 and two. Kobe Bryant had 30-10 and two. Larry Bird had 36-10 and two. So in a closeout game, think about that. Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, JT, and now J-Bag. Hey, that's some hell of a company to be in, bro. Hey, and y 'all know what can happen from this. You know, all it takes is a little confidence. Take a little spark. One little spark will start a whole damn fire. You hear me? Oh, yeah, yeah. You hear me? I hope Jay McDaniels keeps the same energy going into that San Antonio series because, boy, the only way they're going to even be able to even keep up is for him to play like this.

39:06Shannon Sharpe:Jay McDaniels said after the game, ain't no reason to talk no more. Just come in and compete. Get ready for the next round. Chris Finch, Jay McDaniels talked all series, and he backed it up all series. He definitely backed it up. Damn right he did. I like him. I really like him a lot. Like, you know, all hockey teams got an enforcer, huh? Yeah. Someone who sets the tone. That goddamn J. McDaniel, not only he going to talk it and he going to walk it, then he going to play defense, then he going to come back and bust your ass on offense too. I really, really like young Bull. I like him a lot. Hey, hey, every time he scored, Uncle Ocho, he was below the free throw line picking his man up.

39:46Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. You hear me? He picking his man up 94 feet, bro. Ain't no, you ain't getting no easy. No, you ain't getting no break. You ain't going to be able to walk it up here and look all pretty, hop, skipping, and dribbling the basketball. Hell no. Turn your back to me. Hey. Because I'm going to pick it up. Yeah, you're going to have to bring this thing up to court like, man. When it comes to advancing your education, you have more options than you think.

The Knicks pulled out the ultimate power move on the Hawks tonight, winning by the score of 140-89 in the closeout of their first-round series. Joe, you can't say basket or ball tonight. The Knicks blitz the Hawks. Hey, he can't say playoff. The opening tip, Ocho, 83-36 halftime lead. The 47-point halftime margin is the largest in NBA playoff history, breaking the record of 41 shares by the 2025 Pacers and the 2017 Cavaliers. It approached the largest halftime lead in any NBA regular season or playoff game of 50.

45:20Shannon Sharpe:New York had as many steals, 12, as Hawks had made field goals in the first half. Jonathan Kimminga was minus 44 in 22 minutes. The lowest plus minus of a bench player in the playoff game in the play-by-play era. Plus minus for the Knicks. OG, plus 42. Brunson, plus 40. Bridges, plus 40. No, Brunson had plus 41. Bridges had plus 40. Cat, plus 35. Hart, plus 35. Mitchell Robinson plus 29, BTA. Numbudda Stoker. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Ocho, he got something in there, Joe? Ocho?

You don't got to throw nobody. Warning. You see the score of the game? Warning ain't going to do nothing. Ocho, they're down 60. What the hell you warning? Yeah, what the hell? What a warning.

They really, I mean, look at all these plus, these minus 38, minus 43, minus 24, minus 29, minus 36, minus 44. This is, I mean, I don't even know, I've never seen anything like it. So I don't really know. I mean, Joe, you could speak to like, in a situation like this, I don't know if you've ever been down that bad. I'm sure there have been some games that you've probably been down 20, 25, maybe even 30 at the half. But down 50 at the damn half? What's being said in the locker room?

54:14Shannon Sharpe:Man, ain't shit you can't say. Look, at games like that, Coach don't even come in there and say nothing. Hell, what are you supposed to say? Hell, the Knicks look like the 96 Bulls. Damn Bridges and Adam Noblin look like Jordan and Pippen out there. I'm like, damn. Bridges ain't had no good game the whole series. that man couldn't miss. 10 of 12, 2 of 2 from 3, 2 of 2 from the free throw line. Cat had another triple-double. Cat had never had a layoff triple-double in his career and got two in six games. And you know what's crazy? As bad as they beat us in the first half, they came out in the second half with the same intensity.

54:55Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about still wasn't missing, still shooting fast break threes. I'm like damn Y 'all couldn't get nothing going over there Joe Nothing at all It was a bad night tonight fella It was a bad night And you know what Joe The problem is Is that as well as you guys played The first three games You guys look really bad The last half of that game three But five and six We look run down We look tired Four, five, and six. Game four, five, and six, they were awful. I'm telling you, it looked like, you know how like, I don't know how y 'all feel in football like in the first quarter or something, but you feel like you get that second win, you'll be all right.

55:44Shannon Sharpe:It looked like we never got our second win. It was like we never got out the damn gates here. The way the game started, I just felt the Knicks were way too comfortable to start the game, which is one reason why they made shots, but not only comfortable, they were desperate. They were the more desperate team tonight. We got to give them their credit. Shout out to the Knicks. They played a hell of a game. They played their ass off. Yeah. Shout out to the Hawks. Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! It's a ha-ha! Hey, y 'all got to chill. Hey, matter of fact, what sound the Pigeons make? They a bunch of Pigeons. They ain't really no Hawks.

56:24They don't deserve to be Hawks. Ocho. Ocho. Watch your mouth.

56:29Shannon Sharpe:Watch your mouth. I told you. I told you. Hey, if you got a problem, make my mouth look like ketchup, homeboy. All right. Say less. Make my mouth look like ketchup if there's a problem. Say less. I told you, boy. I'm on. Hey, look. Hey, bro. You ain't see me with my money. It's on the flow from now on. Hey, you ain't getting that. Hey, from now on. Hold on, Joe. You think he ain't gonna get it, period? Hell no. I ain't paying nothing. I like it. I ain't paying nothing to pull a dollar, period. You ain't gonna pay this country above nothing. Man, hey, we got our ass whooped so bad that I chose not to pay.

57:02Shannon Sharpe:That's how I'm feeling tonight. You make it bad on yourself because not only did you see your team get your ass whooped, now you're going to get your whooped too. Hey, you got the address, partner? Pull up. I'll be there. You ain't got to take me twice? Yeah, you need me to meet you at the airport? Hey, I don't need an invitation. I'll be there. Hold up, Joe. You going to pick the man up at the airport to whip him? Man, listen, if I have to, hell. What do you think is here? No, no, no, no, no. I don't need you to pick me up. Somebody from Twitter gonna pick me up. Hey, chat, hey, chat. And I know I'm dead wrong.

57:34Shannon Sharpe:I don't even give a damn. Yeah, I'm dead wrong and don't even give a damn. I ain't paying him nothing. Hell, damn that. Damn that.

57:44Shannon Sharpe:Hey, don't worry about it. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, Joe, Joe, that Portier. You know that La Portier, man? You know that brown? Hey, that's one thing. Hey, I'm gonna dip my second bottle. Hey, hey, hey. I'm gonna pop it open. I'm on bottom number two. Hey, that's a good thing. Hey, that brown, that brown gonna make him frown. I ain't tripping. Huh?

I don't want to be no misunderstanding that he think he gonna get his money at a later date in time.

58:20Shannon Sharpe:I'm not paying you, homeboy. Yeah, I like that. I think by me being straight up, me being honest, me being upfront, hell, you can take it how you want to, but at least I told you. You feel me? Yeah, I got you. At least I told you. I got you. Are you feeling real good? Well, I'm feeling great. I'm feeling great tonight. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

Hey, hey, um, you ain't noticed. Hey, Joe, what's that on your left hand, Joe? Yeah, that's from the sex though, huh? Huh? Hey, you see the two figures in the girlfriend? That's his cute glove. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe, no. Tell him again, honk. Tell him again, honk. He don't know nothing about that. That's how I know he ain't no real shooter. Hey, hey, hey, honk. He think he's slick. You know what them two fingers for, right, honk? Huh? Now, hey, hey, Ocho, these two fingers for real shooters, homie.

59:35Shannon Sharpe:I'm a real shooter. Nah, nah, nah. That's why I'm trying to tell you. Hey, not that kind of shooting. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. I brought it just so I knew. I knew y 'all was gonna think it was a game. What that is? That's your rifle? Q-SPEED. Nah. This ain't none of that play play. This ain't no dick sporting goods. This ain't none of that. So he just went and bought this. This brand new. What please? Hey, that's brand new. Hey, he just went and bought that. Hey, and if you made me, I might have to put the pool stick on your ass. Hey, that's fine. Hey, hey, hey. You see how that thing glide through that like that?

1:00:15Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Hey, let me tell you something. If you need all that, you ain't no real player, you hear me? Man, listen - Hey, listen, Joe, all you gotta do is take that chalk, put that chalk right here, in between the thumb and the index finger. Now, some people don't like that chalk. Some people like it, they get messy, especially cause they got on black. Most pool shooters wear black, and so they don't like that chalk, so they wear the glove for the slide better. Hey, Unk, Unk, Unk, I'm trying to teach you something, Unk. And you ain't teaching me nothing, I don't need all of them goddamn accessories.

1:00:42Shannon Sharpe:He won't even listen. Just listen sometime, man. Damn. No, you pay me my money. You better listen. I ain't paying you nothing, but I need you to listen up. You hear me? This glove here, man, real shooters. Where I go play pool at, Ocho, if you ain't got one of these, partner, you can get ran up out the door. You ain't no real shooter. Real shooters don't even need accessories, boy. We couldn't afford accessories where I'm from. We don't wear no gloves. Well, you about to be able to afford them. Joe pays you your 500. Yeah, you sure would. As a matter of fact, Ocho, guess what? Man, y 'all bet$100 every game.

1:01:22Shannon Sharpe:So you up by 700 to be truth be told. Honestly. You up 700? And then his ass woke up. Yeah, don't worry about it. You gonna, hey, we gonna wake up. Ocho, that man owe you$700, and he said he not, he said, I'm not paying him. Hey, I deal with him when I see him. Hey, hey, you gonna learn the definite, hey, hey, every time I see Prime, it's on what? It's on site every time you see Prime? Every time I see Prime, it's on site. Hey, hey, Joe, did Joe Warren come today? You see my awards? No, I can't see them, we can't see them. How y 'all can't see them? What you mean, I see them on the day? No, I can't see them.

1:02:13Shannon Sharpe:Where's the other one? You got two of them, right? Yeah, I got it right in the front of me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, but they're so far away, they're not focused. OK, OK. They're blurry. I'm going to have to get it together for y 'all. Hey, where mine at? Man, damn yours. Hey, Joe, matter of fact, when I make that little visit, I'm going to take them out your house. Damn, Joe! You just got it! I'ma take them out your house. Hey, hey, I heard if you bury somebody in your backyard - That's a tax write-off. You know, there you go. Hey, what color you want your casket, partner? Who? You. Yellow.

1:02:57Shannon Sharpe:Okay, I got you. Yellow? I got you, because I got a nice little spot for you out there in the back. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I hope your guard dog know what rat boy doesn't smell like. He ain't taking nothing from no stranger, trust me. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he trained like that. He ain't taking nothing from no stranger. Yeah, we'll see. And he chewing ass, too. You come over here, he chewing ass. I'm letting you know. All right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like it. Hey, hey, hey. I advise you to tread lightly, partner. I don't know why. Honestly, Ocho, I don't know why Joe chose violence tonight.

1:03:34Shannon Sharpe:I understand that his team didn't play particularly well, but for the man to come out and say, I'm not paying, and that's the end of that, he said, yeah, I owe Ocho 700. I'm not paying, and that's the end of that. Okay, let's continue to talk about the game. I don't even know why y 'all keep bringing it up here. My mind ain't going to change. Hey, everybody in life had choices, and they got to deal with the consequences. Yeah, you're right, Ocho. Joe got to deal with the consequences. That's it. So now he living in Atlanta, ain't got to look over his shoulder all the damn time. All right, I'm good.

1:04:09I'm good, I'm good. No, you think you good. Yeah, yeah. You think you good. Yeah, and I keep that fire on me, yeah. That who? That fire. Hey, you ain't the only one. They made more than one. Well, hey, hey, partner, I'm just taking you tread lightly.

1:04:24Shannon Sharpe:You hear me? Only tread I know about is tires Hey, Jose got that drum Mocho Man, hey, I got a switch You going to jail So I don't With that switch You getting 10 Off the rip That's fine As long as my statement is made Okay Alright, look I hope you can get that look at I hope you can get it out Oh, yeah. Oh, it's already out. Okay. Okay. I don't know. Ocho, I've never seen or heard Joe behave in this manner. I ain't never seen my damn Hawks play like they played tonight. This is why I'm choosing violence. If I owe you money, you got to get it back in blood, partner. It ain't just you, Ocho. It go for everybody, partner.

1:05:19Shannon Sharpe:But since I'm sitting here talking to you, I'm letting you know. Joe's ready. I like that. Ain't nobody getting paid. Yeah. Hey, you know what? We might have to give him a little pass tonight because he on that Brown. You hear me? Oh, okay. He on that 48. So he's not responsible for what he's saying. Okay. Yeah, he's not in the right state of mind. Hey, I'm on that yak tonight. What you mean who ain't responsible? What you think this is? Hey, Joe, I'ma tell you one thing. I'ma tell you one more time. That Brown gonna make you frown. Now you keep playing me if you want to now. Hey, coach, did the man say he ain't paying you?

1:05:53Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what else to tell you. Okay. Okay. Hey, boy, your head gonna be a nail in the coffin. You keep playing with me like that. I'm trying to coax, you know, maybe like 250 here, 250 there, and another 200 at the end. But it doesn't seem like he willing to budge. It doesn't seem like he gonna pay you anything. It's okay. Hey, Unc, it's okay. These hands gonna budge across his head. Hey, hey, hey. That's fine. We ain't getting Nathaniel. Hey, when you see, hey, you come to the A and you see that red dot on you, partner, don't get scared, all right? Hey, I like red dots. I used to date an Indian.

Hey, now he done pissed me off, now I want it in dollar bills. Man, I don't care how you, I don't care how much you get pissed off. Huh? Boy, you ain't got no bill? You gotta go to the bank, Joe.
