0:00 - The Clippers lost to the Warriors in the Play-In Tournament last night. And with that loss, their 2026 first round draft pick becomes a lottery pick. And who owns the rights to the Clippers 2026 first round pick? THE OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. Incredible. You can bring up Russell Wilson, DeShaun Watson, Herschel Walker, whatever. Doesn't matter. The OKC-Clippers SGA trade is now officially the WORST trade in all of sports history. Not NBA history. SPORTS history!

14:36 - Tyson Barrie chilled in studio with Kreckman and Lindahl to promote his new beer Chilly Ones. And he brought a good friend of his with him. A man by the name of Nathan MacKinnon. Heard of him? Mack opened up just a tiny bit and showed a smidge of his personality! Nate (Kreckman) & Andy asked Nate (MacKinnon) the one question that's been burning in our minds for months: what the hell was up with that stuffed animal at the Olympics?

31:25 - Anthony Edwards is cocky. Hot take alert, I know! And he's running his mouth a bit before the Nuggets and Timberwolves face off in Round 1. Brett says that's the key to beating Minnesota. Get in Ant's head. Rattle him. He's the head of the snake.

0:00 - The Colorado Wagon keeps rolling, even in garbage time! The Avs beat the Flames on the 2nd night of a road back-to-back! MacKinnon reached 53 goals and Marty Nachos recorded his 100th point. Great night all around. The Avalanche are back at Ball tomorrow night to wrap it all up!

15:39 - It's so damn hot in the studio this morning. It's friggin tropical. And yet, we don't have control of our own thermostat. How did this happen?
After that, back to sports! Almost all of the national media is picking the Nuggets to beat the Timberwolves in Round 1. Does that say more about how good the Nuggets are? Or the deficiencies of the Timberwolves?

33:35 - The NFL playoff format is stupid. Usually. But this year as the 1 seed, it doesn't bother Brett as much! Feels good at the top, baby!

0:00 - Yesterday, the Bednar-less Avalanche beat the Oilers in a shootout! The Avs have nothing to play for, and yet the Oilers are still fighting for seeding! What a tough break for Edmonton. There's a reason their goalie angrily smashed his stick after Nathan MacKinnon buried the shootout winner.

14:29 - Do we still fear the T-Wolves? There was a time when Minnesota struck fear into the hearts of every Nuggets fan. Will this year be different? How confident are we that the Nuggets can survive the Wolves and make it to Round 2?

31:35 - Yesterday, Aqib Talib said the Broncos might make another flashy move on draft night. Let's expand on that...what does he mean? Does he mean the Broncos would try to trade up and draft someone? Or package some picks for a draft night trade?

0:00 - And with that, the 2025-2026 NBA Regular Season is in the books. 82 games. The Nuggets finished the season by casually winning 12 games in a row and clinching the 3 seed. That's insane. Go back to, say...March 1. Could you picture the Nuggets rattling off 12 wins and climbing to the 3 seed? Not at all. What a wild turn of events.

14:57 - The DU Pioneers are national champions once again! That's 11 titles for the Men's Hockey team. Let's be honest...THEY'RE the real Colorado Wagon. Also, the Avs have 3 regular season games remaining on the schedule. And they still don't have a 1st round playoff opponent yet. It could be the Kings, Ducks, or Predators at this point. Let's be real...does it matter who they face in the first round?

31:53 - Brett starts the segment with a scorching hot take that has the potential to splinter our fanbase once and for all! After that, the biggest Rockies news in a decade broke on Friday...at like 9:58am. The Broncos Ownership group purchased a 40% minority ownership share of the Colorado Rockies. WOW! What can we expect from this? Will the Rockies now have access to the infinite checkbook of the Waltons?

0:00 - WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! Top of the Central, top of the West, now top of the entire league. The Presidents' Trophy is coming back to Denver! Now, you can start resting guys (if you want) and focus on the real goal: reuniting with Lord Stanley.

14:38 - On a scale from 1-10, how confident are you in the Avs winning their first round matchup, whoever it is? How confident are you in the Nuggets?
Then, the Padres beat the Rockies in the 12th inning last night with a walk off Grand Slam. Yikes. That's one of the worst way to lose a ballgame. Soul crushing. Let's compare the Rockies TV call and the Padres TV call. The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat.

31:15 - The NBA has (another) issue on its hands. How can you tell when a player is intentionally throwing a game with point-shaving, tanking, etc? What if that player or team is just flat-out bad? How do you differentiate?

0:00 - The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies G-League roster last night...BUT...they were down at halftime! It took them ages to start rolling! They didn't seal the victory until the 4th quarter. Do we care? Should we be concerned because the Nuggets didn't smash their faces from the opening tip?

15:17 - Hey, look at that! The Rockies swept the Astros! And NOW they're 6-6! The're playing .500 baseball! Plus, they started the season 0-3. It's only 12 games, but come on now. These Rox are looking legit. 

31:35 - The NBA recently developed some ideas to stop tanking, and the NBA Board of Governors will vote on them next month. For the 10,000th time, these ideas they keep developing AREN'T GOING TO WORK! How many times do we have to say it?

0:00 - It's lonely at the top, baby! The Avalanche have officially clinched the top spot in the Central Division! They haven't wrapped up the President's Trophy yet, but it's within spitting distance. Good for the Avs. Plus, they don't have to face the Wild or the Stars in the first round since those two teams will face each other. They're both locked into a spot. So, who do we want to see the Avs play?

15:58 - Make of this what you will, BUT...the Rockies are actually fun to watch this year! It's not a horrible slog like last year. They have 5 wins! They've already won 2 different series and have a chance to sweep the Astros today. Again, they're not a playoff team, but it's clear that they're starting to move in the right direction.
After that, the Nuggets are sitting in the 3 seed right now. Tonight, they're playing the Memphis Grizzlies who are resting LITERALLY EVERYONE. They'll barely have enough warm bodies to field a team. This is a GIMMIE for the Nuggets. Win tonight and get closer to locking in the 3 seed.

32:29 - Paul DePodesta, President of Baseball Operations for the Rockies, chatted with PHD yesterday. And he's saying things that Brett's wanted to hear for YEARS from someone in the Front Office. He's shifting the mindset and attitude of the team.

0:00 - They never should've been down by 18 points at home against the lowly Trailblazers in the first place BUT what a comeback by the Nuggets! Man that was awesome. They've now won 9 in a row. And yet...Brett still doesn't know how to make heads or tails of this team. It feels like the Broncos all over again. They're winning but is it sustainable? There's that good ol' sustainable word again.

15:22 - Lately, the Avs have won the games they needed to win, and lost games they couldn't get excited for. Well boys, if you're listening, tonight is one you need to win. Win ONE more game and the Central is yours. That's it. You're so close. Just do it tonight and be done with it.

31:28 - North Carolina just hired Michael Malone to be their next head basketball coach. That's an interesting move, to say the least. Malone absolutely could've and should've gotten another NBA coaching gig. He won a title. And yet, he ended up in college. That being said, he's the perfect coach for the portal era.

0:00 - It all came down to Jokic vs Wemby. MVP on MVP. And Jokic sunk an impossible fadeaway dagger right in Wemby's face. Wemby's like 10 feet tall, and Jokic launched a ball OVER his head. With a hand in his face. While falling backwards. Ballgame. Unbelievable. The Nuggets needed that win in the worst way and they got it. 

14:40 - We don't care about yesterday's Avs loss to the Blues. Whatever. On Saturday, they needed a win over Dallas and they got it. The Central is done. Your Avs wrapped it up. Not officially, but I mean...it's over. 

32:07 - After Jokic buried the Spurs on Saturday, how can Jokic not be an MVP favorite? Just because he's won 3x already. That's it. That's the only reason he's not at the top of the ladder. By every other metric, he should be the MVP. It's plain and simple.

0:00 - Luka Doncic left the game with a hamstring injury yesterday. Holy cow. The Western Conference playoff race just blew WIDE open. 

14:33 - How conservative do you want the Avalanche and Nuggets to be heading into the playoffs? Do they still need to go full throttle? Or can they slow down a bit since they've both clinched spots already?

31:56 - Happy Rockies Home Opening Day! Baseball is back at 20th and Blake. A new era begins today. Let's give Brett a brief second to wax poetic.
After that, Sean Payton did something he hasn't done in a while. He got snarky with the media at the NFL Owners Meetings! We haven't seen Snarky Sean vs Reporters in a long time!
