Episode Notes

It's the first Monday of the month, which can only mean one thing: NBA Takedown Power Rankings! On today's episode, Jonathan Macri, Jeff Johnson and Shawn Hardie open the show by unpacking Luke Kornet's recent criticism of the Atlanta Hawks and their decision to honor Magic City at an upcoming game. Then, they dive into the rankings, tiering all 30 NBA teams into four categories:

• No shot
• Teams that can make the playoffs
• Teams that can make the conference finals
• Teams that can win the NBA championship

They close the show by reacting to the breaking news that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be making his return on Monday night against the Boston Celtics.
