Minnesota trying to close out and eliminate Denver.

Time out, Denver.

Are you ready?

No Brandon Ayuk talking this first hour of the show?

Max and I decided in our pre-show meeting we're going to try some NBA out for you guys.

I was up late last night watching that

Shaq, Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Ernie.

The Denver Nuggets faced the Minnesota Timberwolves

yesterday's show. His legacy is starting to take on some water. Good morning, everybody. We will talk a little bit

Sunny Stiles was certainly at the top of the list.
