Chapter 1: What drink should you enjoy ice cold?
Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.
Chapter 2: How should Jägermeister be consumed?
Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked. Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jagermeister. That's it. That's all they want to tell you. So wherever you are, if you're hanging out with friends or at the bar, call the shots.
Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister. Damn, that's cold.

Have you guys watched any Marcus Morris on first take? He is now today saying that if Giannis and Damian Lillard lose in the first round, they should just go to Miami, both of them. And it's not the most interesting thing that he has said. Marcus Morris, see if you can find the bias in this, says that Jokic is not a top 20 player of all time. Who? I'll run a Google.
See if you can find the bias in this. Why is Marcus Morris saying that Jokic is not a top 20 player of all time? Is it because Jokic ended his brother's career by pushing him?

Chapter 5: How does LeBron James affect team professionalism?
Honestly, I wasn't sure which Morris it was. I was just like, one of the Morrises.
That happens a lot with the Morrises, I would say, generally speaking. It's their fault for both of them having the same tattoos. It's not just that they're twins. They have the same tattoos. They're impossible to tell apart.
Didn't the Pouncey brothers do the same thing, like matching tattoos?
It's a great trick. I have asked the McCourty's this as well and the Barber's like they they have done things to prank people because they are pretending one to be the other. Never as famously as Ozzie and Jose Canseco did it when Jose Canseco had a charity boxing match and his brother showed up and was able to reveal the fraud to all of us by having different tattoos than his brother did.
And so otherwise they would have gotten away with it. They would have managed to fool everybody. Tony, when you say the Knicks are in trouble, is it because they're playing Detroit in the first round, or is it just more general than that?
It just feels like all year they've really struggled against the top teams, like you said, like they're 0-10 against top teams between Cleveland, between Boston, and between Oklahoma City. The Pistons are surging. At the right time. Cade Cunningham's playing amazing. Malik Beasley's probably front runner for sixth man of the year. He's second in the NBA for made threes this season.
Do you guys know who the first is for made threes this season? Steph Curry. No. Oh, okay. Mike, I know you're a ball watcher.
I don't know the answer to your question.
Anthony Edwards is the leader in three-point field goals made this season with 320. Malik Beasley right after that at 319. But the Pistons are playing really well, Dan. It feels like the Knicks are a bit of a paper tiger when it comes to, yeah, offensively they're excellent. Carl Anthony Towns. Brunson hasn't been playing because he's been hurt. How much will that affect them going forward?

Game time is what you need to be on to check and get yourself some big-time meaningful playoff basketball tickets.
I would like to offer to the group here, whichever one it is that you want to talk about, because I imagine Roy has some preferences here. If I offer you by way of playoff preview, if I say to you, would you like to talk about Nuggets Clippers? Somebody who can win the championship is going to get knocked out in the first round. Would you like to talk about Lakers, Timberwolves? Yes.
Yeah, that was good, even though there was a question mark in there.
Or would you like to talk about Sharks Wild and what happens when 15 goals, two massive goals, superstar making an appearance?
Yeah, Macklin Celebrini. I would love to talk about Macklin Celebrini. I think I saw a player in a game level up. He's a very young player. He was the number one overall draft pick. Last week, I was locked in on a great sports day all across on the pitch, on the hardwood, on the ice, though. My mouth was left agape as Kaprizov and Celebrini and Erickson Eck essentially went shot for shot.
I saw in that game – A player level up. And Macklin Celebrini would not surprise me in the least if next year he's a top five player in the league. I think he's damn near approaching it right now. He's on a bad team. They're going to have to level up the talent around him. But they have a good player in Will Smith to do that. This dude is a brilliant hockey player to watch.
So I love watching greatness there. But turning my attention to the playoff matchups, I love the rivalry between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. It's been several years long. Remember, the Grizzlies surprisingly knocked them out of the play-in a couple of years ago. John Morant is deciding to apparently double down. Triple down. Quadruple down on this perceived villainy of his.
And now he's just going to keep doing the hand gestures anyways. He did one in the direction of Steph Curry just last week. So to have that added juice to Grizzlies-Warriors... given that now all of a sudden we're questioning the Warriors with these injuries popping up at the wrong time. That one, to me, has the most juice, certainly out of all the play-ins.

Chapter 7: How do injuries impact playoff performance?
Nuggets Clippers, though, Dan, like you said, one team could win the championship and one team is going home in the first round. We saw the Clippers. We've seen the Clippers be one of the best teams in the league for the last month of the season. Kawhi's been playing incredible. James Harden, for as much shit as we give James Harden, He's playing out of his mind right now.
Like he's NBA first team level star like power right now. Yesterday in the game, you know, hitting huge shots, facilitating. This is a team that could really, really make something happen. And I think the issue is more Lakers Timberwolves. And if you want to get into that, there's some issues there.
And Celebrini is obviously going to win the Colter Trophy this year for Rookie of the Year, but looking at the playoff matchups for the Western Conference, I mean, look at the wild card right now.
Tell me about the Western Conference. Nuggets Clippers in the first round? We got Lakers Wolves?
We got half stars. Well, the wild card right now, you got the Wild in the first wild card spot and the Blues in the second wild card spot. They put the Wild. Yeah, they are separated by one point. And the Calgary Flames are still in it. They have 92 points. They're two points beyond the Blues. So that's going to be a wild matchup.
Huberto might make the playoffs.
Yeah, he might.
The Blues and the Wild are nightmare wild card matchups to draw because the Blues are playing the way that they did to close out 2019. They are playing so well right now. You do not want to face them. And the Minnesota Wild are just all of a sudden really healthy at the right time. The NHL playoffs are going to be insane.
Speaking of Minnesota, too big for the Lakers. Lakers have a big size issue. Jackson Hayes is their only big, Dan. They've been playing a lot of medium-sized guys from 5'6", 5'6", 7'6", 8'6", 9", but they're going to have trouble with Rudy Gobert, with Nas Reed, with Julius Randle, with Anthony Edwards. There's a size situation there. Luke, put it this way.

Chapter 8: What is the buzz around Macklin Celebrini?
If you give me the chance to have Luka, LeBron, and dare I say Austin Reeves as the third who's been playing out of his mind, you give me that three, I'll take them pretty much against anybody. What? But the size difference is going to make an issue.
So you'll take them against anybody, but you feel like they're going to get eliminated in the first round. Maybe.
Maybe. That's where we are. That's precisely right. Sports. And one of the few regular season games I did get to watch some was Pacers-Bucks, in which Tyrese Alliburton had an unbelievable win probability defying four-point sequence against them. And it's kind of under the radar, I guess, because the market that they play in. But as it was alluded to by Marcus Morris on first take,
This is kind of like a blueprint series for what Milwaukee's got going on with Doc Rivers and Damian Lillard. The Damian Lillard thing, I know they won the IST, but you kind of need proof of concept here. And if they bow out in the first round... he's right to seize on, this is roster changing dynamics at play for Milwaukee.
If they, if they fail to get out of the first, I really do enjoy the Pacers, just their style of play. I really like Halliburton. No, I know. I know that this is not something that's being talked about, but I saw the way they came back against Cleveland. They score like crazy. Uh, I want to play some sound for you here of Isaiah Thomas.
I asked when this sound was brought to my attention, which Isaiah Thomas is this? And then I was told the old one, which didn't feel right. It felt disrespectful. It was. It doesn't feel like you could say the Hall of Famer. You could say the Piston. The old one. You knew who I meant. Yeah, but I just thought it was wildly disrespectful.
And here he is being disrespectful and old about LeBron James warming up shirtless on the sidelines wearing a do-rag?
I just totally 100% object to this. And if I was the GM or coach, I would never let one of my players walk out on the floor looking like this. I mean, we are a professional NBA league. We ain't Summer League. We ain't, you know, at the YMCA. Listen, I think coaches got to go back to suits. AFSA.
Yeah, just me.
