Schlereth and Evans

The Avalanche win Game 2 against the Stars in a thrilling comeback OT fashion! The “star” of the show being Miles Wood. Inside information from the Broncos organization has been leaked about all the issues they had with Russell Wilson. Are we surprised by any of this? Finally, Stink is Winnie the Pooh and he’s also disappointed by yet another athlete’s voice.

Hour 1

Jamal Murray avoids suspension after his tantrum in Game 2. Stink thinks the league should’ve suspended him. What do you think? Jokic will be awarded the MVP award tonight- unfortunately it might not be as sweet a moment we all thought it’d be. Also, how much weight does Phil Simms endorsement of Bo Nix carry? And how much weight are we putting on these supposed leaked text messages from a Nuggets bench player to Gilbert Arenas?

How much do these leaked text messages from a Nuggets player matter? Are there real issues going on in the locker room? While the Nugs issues seem to be bubbling over, the Avalanche are in a great place, similar to the Nuggets energy during the Lakers series. Is it MacKinnon’s turn to be an MVP? Phil Simms brings up some good points that strengthen the Broncos case for choosing Bo Nix.

Is this just about the most awkward time for Nikola Jokics’ MVP award to be announced? And will he be the first MVP in history to get swept in the playoffs? Or will this be the motivating force for the Nuggets to come out and get things done in Game 3? Mike and Mark discuss the NHL MVP race as well and why it’s so hard to admit that MacKinnon is the guy.

Wow. What the heck happened to the Nuggets last night? Mike and Mark try to make sense of that embarrassing performance and wonder if the Nuggets are in danger of tarnishing last years championship. We do have something to look forward to tonight as the Avs take on the Stars in game 1 of the second round as we preview this series.

We hear from Coach Malone after that horrific game last night who asks us fans to stick with them and to believe that they’ll get back. But who’s really to blame for the state of the Nuggets right now? And should Jamal be suspended after throwing a heating pad onto the floor during play? On the brighter side, Mike and Mark react to the hilarious roast of Tom Brady. Hopefully Stink wasn’t too offended on behalf of his man crush.

Should we hold our breath on our excitement for the Avs game tonight after being traumatized by the Nuggets? Are the Timberwolves really that much better of a team or have the Nuggets been losing these games for themselves? Regardless of the bull junk- it seems there’s a healthy amount of optimism surrounding the Avalanche right now.

For Mike and Mark, it wasn’t about the Nuggets poor play last night but more about their lack of composure. What are the chances the Nuggets can come back and win this thing? The data shows it is highly unlikely. Regardless, we’re getting you ready for the Avs vs. Stars tonight!

Mat Smith in for Mark this morning reacting with Mike to the Nuggets tough game 1 loss against the Timberwolves. Mat and plenty of our listeners are concerned that the Nuggets may not be able to get back to their game while Mike is calm knowing this struggle is to be expected. The Avs will be playing the Stars in round 2. What’re their chances of winning this series as well?

It's become evident that the Nuggets have not played a single game at their full potential in the playoffs. Coach Malone and Jamal Murray speak on that. What do the Nugs need to adjust in order to secure game 2? While Jamal seemed like a shell of himself, the rest of the hockey world praises Cale Makar for continuing to prove he's one of the greatest defensemen the league has ever seen. Finally, we hear from Coach Prime after a drama filled week up in Boulder.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to talk with Mat Smith, Mike gets his thoughts on the Bo Nix pick and whether or not he trusts Sean Payton’s decision making. Mat will be the first to admit he did not see the Avs moving past the first round. But the Avs that showed up in the playoffs are not the Avs we saw during the regular season. So, what’re their chances moving forward? And hat adjustments do the Nuggets need to make to secure a dub tonight? Our own Denversports.com’s James Merilatt joins the show to give his take on the state of the Nugs and Avs.

Mike explains to Mat, with data, why tonight is a must win for the Nuggets. As Nuggets fans, should we really be all up in arms preparing for a breakup after just one loss? Maybe. If the Nuggets don’t make another finals appearance, will Jamals calf injury be to blame for his poor performance? Mat explains why LeBron James will never win again before we make our predictions for the Avs vs. Stars series.

Tomorrow is the day. The start of the second round for the Nuggets and Timberwolves. Mike believes this in fact is the Western Conference Finals matchup. Will the Nuggets be able to defeat Anthony Edwards and the T-Wolves? We hear more reaction throughout the sports world and Scot Van Pelts opinion on the Deion Saunders drama before looking at an Embiid stat that proves just how much of an MVP he truly is…sike!

The Rockies have a very serious team meeting where Bud Black laid down the law on the guys in the locker room (wink wink). Every other team better watch out after that especially if they add a particular new member to the roster. Finally, Stink explains what bowing your back means and if Deion should hire KD to create a burner account on his behalf.

Jamal Murray has obviously proved that he is the ultimate clutch player after round 1, but, Mike and Mark debate who they’d rather have take the last shot if it came down to it: Murray or Jokic. Another who would you rather goes down for the Avs- do we want the Nights or the Stars? The great Joel Klatt makes his return to our show to break down the Broncos draft pick in Bo Nix and offers excellent context for why Sean Payton should be looked at as a developer more than anything when it comes to coaching style.

Why is Sean Payton so hated by people here in Denver? Mike and mark debate before going over some of the best stories in sports right now including the Patrick Beverley debacle. Maybe we should start kicking people out of our studio if they aren’t subscribed to Stinks pod! Finally, the guys get hyped for the Nuggets game and round 2 kickoff tomorrow!

Dallas gets the dub over Vegas last night making that series more interesting and the Avs next playoff opponent more uncertain. Who would Avs fans rather take on in the second round? Our Denver Post Insider Troy Renck joins the show to tell us who he’s more confident in heading into the second round: Avs or Nuggets? He gives us his overall perspective on the Broncos offseason moves this far and addresses his latest article which details some of the recent portal drama up in CU.

Mike explains why the current state of the NFL is set up for guys like Bo Nix to succeed. Stink looks at more of the Broncos draft picks in What Does the Film Say and sounds pretty satisfied with the Broncos picks. Dallas beat Vegas last night making it questionable who the Avs next opponent will be. Who would Mike and Mark rather play? Finally, our boy Shannon Sharpe thinks Jokic will turn Rudy Gobert into minced meat!
