    Celtics Expose Carlisle as Bad Bluffer

    Celtics Expose Carlisle as Bad Bluffer

    Amin kicks off the show with a quick victory lap after he correctly predicted the Boston Celtics would blow out the Indiana Pacers in game two of the Eastern Conference Finals. He then laments how yet another injury, this time to Tyrese Haliburton, has made the Celtics' path to the NBA Finals that much easier. Charlotte also doesn't buy that Jaylen Brown being snubbed for a selection on any All-NBA team was a catalyst for his 40-point performance. Charlotte and Amin also call out Rick Carlisle for comments he made after the game. 
    Before closing out today's episode with Bet the Show, Charlotte and Amin discuss Charles Barkley's recent comments on Caitlin Clark.

    Celtics Put Charlotte in Glass Case of Emotion

    Celtics Put Charlotte in Glass Case of Emotion

    Charlotte and Amin begin the show recapping what it was like to be in attendance for game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. From Tyrese Haliburton's circus shots, to Jaylen Brown's game-tying three with seconds left in regulation, to Jayson Tatum's clutch shots in OT, Charlotte was a glass case of emotion throughout the game. She also has strong words for Celtics fans who left the game early. Ahead of game one of the Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Charlotte and Amin discuss whether or not Anthony Edwards is the best player left in the playoffs. They also unveil how Edwards telling Charles Barkley "bring ya ass" made it all the way to the Minnesota governor's desk. Amin closes the show saying he thinks something is up with recent contract rumors about Jalen Brunson.

    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.
