Is alcohol a way to motivate the players to play a little harder in the all-star game?

Maybe.

I don't know.

It can't hurt.

Have a little beer on the bench, maybe spice things up.

Who knows?

Big question, number whatever.

This was a tricky one, but I'm interested in your take.

I said, the teams within spitting distance of the sixth seed in either direction, in both conferences, which is the team that falling into the play-in, that falling out of or not making the top six is the biggest disaster?
