    Semi-Finals Game 7 Takeaways

    Semi-Finals Game 7 Takeaways

    The Minnesota Timberwolves had a historic comeback to beat the Denver Nuggets, but Charlotte-Damus knew predicted this outcome weeks ago. Anthony Edwards is on his way to becoming the new face of the NBA, and Amin agrees the ascension is upon us as long as they keep winning. This is the 6th consecutive NBA Finals where a new champ will be crowned, but the question is, is that good for the NBA? The Knicks were running hot but collapsed in Game 7 in one of the unluckiest runs ever, and Amin thinks the fans may have brought that on themselves. Amin and Charlotte also preview the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, along with the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

    T-Wolves Crush Nuggets and a Knicks Locker Room Mystery

    The Larry O'Brien trophy has left Oddball Studios! Amin and Charlotte recap the blowout that was Denver Minnesota Game 6 and react to Jokic's "jokes" from the post game press conference. Then, they play a mini game of 'Lie Detector' and get to the bottom of who has stunk up the Knicks locker room... (looking at you Julius Randle). Lastly, Charlotte and Amin pick their bets going into the weekend.

    The Celtics still have much to prove feat. The Larry O'Brien trophy!

    The Celtics still have much to prove feat. The Larry O'Brien trophy!

    Amin and Charlotte are joined by a special guest - the Larry O'Brien trophy! They hand out some other trophies to Bronny James and Wemby in its honor. But first, they celebrate a newly-happy Luka Doncic but have a hard time getting fired up about the Celtics closing out the Cavs. OKC may have lost to the Mavs, but they remain undefeated in getting their fans to wear shirts -- and Ben Stiller, as always, has a Knicks-related take about it. The Celtics are in the ECF for the 6th time in 8 years, but Amin thinks that's not surprising based on the teams they faced.

    Don't Doubt Jokic, Bruson, and Caitlin Clark

    Don't Doubt Jokic, Bruson, and Caitlin Clark

    Knicks are one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 20 years, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... even though Brunson is putting up Hall of Fame numbers, joining the list of greats to have multiple 40+ games in the postseason. Caitlin Clark made her WNBA debut for the Indiana Fever, and the WNBA stars made sure to shut her down at every turn. The Nuggets and Jokic are proving why they're the former 2023 NBA Champions. In a new game, Amin and Charlotte rank which playoff teams are the most fun to watch, and which are unbearable.

    Thunder, Nuggets, & Pacers Comebacks, plus Bronny James

    Thunder, Nuggets, & Pacers Comebacks, plus Bronny James

    Amin kicks off the show comparing Bronny James to other NBA players based on his performance from the NBA Draft Combine. Charlotte believes the Thunder's young core is a major advantage compared to other injury-plagued teams in the playoffs. Amin was at Game 4 between the Timberwolves and the Nuggets to see his prediction that Denver would even the series come true, and the Oddball research team found that teams who were down 0-2 at home in the playoffs have a slim chance of winning the championship. The Knicks were on fire, but they dropped the ball in their last two games after being plagued with injuries. Is coach Tom Thibodeaux running the starting five into the ground? After a hot preseason for the WNBA, they're looking to keep the ball rolling as Caitin Clark debuts in her first game tonight with the Indiana Fever.

After Charlotte uses her investigative skills to try to find the food cart where Charles Barkley gets his street meat, co-host Al Gorithm joins the show to suggest topics for Charlotte and Amin to discuss.
