0:00 - The Avs ONLY scored 5 goals last night?? Wow, what a snoozefest. The Avalanche won Game 2 vs the Wild last night, and they'll take a 2-0 series lead back to Minnesota. That was AWESOME. That Avalanche team looks legit. They genuinely haven't looked this good since 2022.

15:53 - Moser drew the short straw last night. So Altitude TV stuck him outside in the snow to do live hits in front of Ball Arena. A sweet old lady walked by him, and Moser chose and interesting phrase to say to her.

32:28 - In addition to the Avs game, Brett hate-watched Lakers vs Thunder Game 1. Brett's not rooting for the Lakers because he's an American, dammit. But, OKC can't just roll through this series willy-nilly, man. Even without Luka, the Lakers can't just roll over and die, man!
After that, what adjustments did the Avs make between Games 1 and 2?

0:00 - The Avs and Wild will face off tonight in Round 2, Game 2. It PROBABLY won't look like game 1. Don't bet on a 9-goal explosion from the Avs. So, what WILL the game look like?

14:48 - It's ridiculous how many national pundits are trying to tear down Jokic based on this year's first round exit. No matter what happened this year, it doesn't take anything away from his accomplishments.
After that, Bennett Durando of the Denver Post said that Christian Braun tweaked his calf during the playoffs. He was dealing with that injury on top of lingering ankle issues. So, that begs the question again...WHY did the Nuggets spend the offseason acquiring depth then NOT USE THAT DEPTH?? What was the point of trading MPJ???

32:53 - The Toronto Maple Leafs announced the hiring of their new GM yesterday. A reporter didn't like the hiring and wasted no time in making his feelings known at the presser.

0:00 - 15 goals in one game. Ah yes, business as usual for the playoffs. Your Avalanche started Round 2 with a BANG and dropped 9 goals on Minnesota's noggin in Game 1. But they also gave up 6 goals. How do we make sense of this crazy game?

15:13 - How did Jared Bednar make heads or tails of this roller coaster of a game? What did he have to say in his postgame press conference?

32:36 - According to both Bennett Durando and Shams, the Nuggets have no plans to move on from David Adelman. Is this a good move, or rather, lack of a move?

0:00 - Well, that's a wrap. It's another early exit for the Nuggets. This year, it was an even earlier exit than last year! So, now that the whole season is in the books, let's do an autopsy. What the hell happened??

17:28 - Where was this team's FIGHT? Where was their MOTIVATION?? You couldn't rally to beat an injured, depleted Wolves team in an elimination game? What about all the times you got punked by Lu Dort this year? Clowned by Jaden McDaniels this series? No one stood up for this team when it mattered most. Say what you will about guys like Russell Westbrook and Paul Millsap. They didn't take crap from anyone.

35:00 - Chris Finch fabricated a fake narrative that isn't there in order to rally his team. And guess what? Fake or not, it worked. As a coach, you need to find motivation and a rallying cry anywhere you can. And he found it.

0:00 - What's at stake for both the Timberwolves and Nuggets in Game 6? Aside from the season ending, potentially. If the Nuggets lose tonight, what's the conversation we're having tomorrow? If the Timberwolves lose tonight, they're probably losing Game 7 as well. So what's the conversation in Minnesota if they blow a 3-1 lead?

14:46 - Game 6 of the Stars vs Wild series is in St. Paul tonight. Which team would you rather see the Avs face in the 2nd round? 

31:34 - Brett's a weenie. He doesn't want his teams to have a tough path to a championship. The Path of Least Resistance is the one he wants. It doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there. Brett isn't #BUILTDIFFERENT. He's built the same.

0:00 - Did you hate-watch Minnesota vs Dallas last night? Brett did. We had nothing else to do. Let them fight! This series had better go 7!
After that, Broncos news broke yesterday. From Ian Rapoport: Bo Nix had a "follow-up cleanup procedure" on his fractured ankle. He should be back in time for training camp, but don't be surprised if they take it easy with him in the spring, according to Rapoport. Supposedly, this is all pretty standard. But at which point do we start to worry about ankle issues? Especially for such a mobile QB. 

14:25 - Now that the smoke has cleared and the State of Minnesota is no longer out for Vic's head, let's take a look at Game 6. Will the rabid home crowd help give the Timberwolves the boost they need to rattle off a win with the depleted roster?
Also, the NBA is finally narrowing down a new plan to curb tanking. And stop me if you've heard this before...Brett STILL doesn't think it'll ACTUALLY fix tanking.

33:49 - Luca "My name is Luca" Evans published an article yesterday about Von Miller wanting to return to the Broncos. But not on the roster. Clearly there's no room for him on the defense. Von wants to join the Broncos front office. Would that be a good fit for him?

0:00 - What do we say to the God of Death? Not today! The Nuggets won game 5 and stayed alive in the series vs Minnesota! They finally played with physicality and didn't let Jaden McDaniels do what Jaden McDaniels does. 

15:12 - What's the most important takeaway from last night's Nuggets win? What's the one thing they need to carry over into Game 6 on Thursday?

31:27 - Now that the NFL Draft is in the books, what needs to the Broncos still have? What are their biggest questions heading into the doldrums of the offseason?

0:00 - The Nuggets lost Game 4 to the Timberwolves, and they've been pushed to the brink of elimination. Minnesota lost 2 of their best players in that game, and the Nuggets still couldn't rally for a win. That was a tough look on Saturday night. Where's the fire? Where's the competitive spirit?

15:19 - As if Denver's loss wasn't bad enough, Jaden McDaniels punked them AGAIN. At least Jokic got in his face about it this time.

32:08 - The NFL Draft is in the books! Do we like the Broncos picks? How did the Law Firm of Payton and Paton do this year?

0:00 - Last night was a mixed bag, to put it lightly. Let's start with the good. Way to go AVS! The Colorado Wagon ROLLED over the Kings last night, and they're up 3-0 in the series. This thing is over. Just take care of business, complete the sweep, then rest up for the next round.

15:20 - That was a pathetic effort from the Nuggets last night. Your opponent called you SOFT and NAMED NAMES! And you rolled over and died. You couldn't answer the bell. So much for "bulletin board material." That was embarrassing. We can't make heads or tails of this loss. We're flabbergasted. Do you want to win or not? 

33:39 - The LA Rams made an interesting pick in the first round of the NFL Draft yesterday, and Sean McVay himself seemed a bit perplexed.

0:00 - Yesterday at shootaround, all the Nuggets were asked about Jaden McDaniels' fiery postgame comments about their defense (or the lack thereof). David Adelman had the only response that we liked. Everyone else was a bit too laissez faire for Brett's taste. The Nuggets should be fired up right now. It should be fuel. It should be bulletin board material. It should rally them to win. If it isn't...get ready for Cancun.

14:28 - Brett can feel it...down in his plums...the Avalanche are gonna POP tonight in Game 3. They're ready to burst and unleash an, well, Avalanche of goals on the LA Kings.

31:37 - Believe it or not, there's an NFL Draft tonight! Let's go back to Aqib Talib's comment that the Broncos might make a move on draft night. If that's the case, how would it shake out? It probably would happen tomorrow night, right? Which position will they target? It's gotta be a tight end, right?
