The Mavs play in Minnesota tonight: will the Mavs end the series? Amin suggests why the Wolves may have a chance to make history. But, if the Wolves lose, who's to blame? Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis tweeted he may be coming back in time for the Finals. At least that's what Google's AI said... we think. Then, we discuss how JJ Redick might (will?) be the new coach of the Lakers and Ty Lue's extension with the Clippers. Then Doc Rivers stops by to discuss his thoughts on the new FX show...

Amin's pumped for the NBA Finals, but the Timberwolves threw a wrench in things by beating the Mavericks and avoiding a sweep. They played so well that even Draymond Green had to give them props on "Inside The NBA," despite his usual beef with Rudy Gobert. Bronny got invited to 10 team workouts, but he only said yes to the Lakers and the Suns. In the rumor mill, Jimmy Butler might ditch the Heat for his old squad, the Philadelphia 76ers. In our weekly segment, Bet The Show, Charlotte and Amin...

The Celtics are going to the NBA Finals, Jaylen Brown won the ECF MVP, and Charlotte is ecstatic. Amin questions her confidence since they had a hard time against the Indiana Pacers without Tyrese Haliburton and now will have a tougher battle against either the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics have been doing great, and it begs the question: is young coach Joe Mazzulla a prodigy, or did he luck into a great situation? Charlotte and Amin close out the show...

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...

Charlotte and Amin dive into the aftermath of game one of the Western Conference finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves. They discuss everything from dad bod theories on Luka Doncic to Kyrie Irving's unanticipated scoring spree. Also, Amin and Charlotte dissect the games, focusing on Luka's dominance and Kyrie's resurgence. Later they discuss All-NBA team selections and snubs, but Victor Wembanyama's historic achievements throughout the regular season steal the...

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...

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...

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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...

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...

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...

Charlotte and Amin work through a Celtic's loss at home while Boston players dismiss their superteam status. Wait, what was that noise during Luka Doncic's press conference? Nevermind that, Charlotte and Amin preview game 3 of Knicks vs Pacers and Timberwolves vs Nuggets. And Ben Stiller, if you are watching, please come on the show. 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...

Jalen Brunson left the game with an injury in the first half, but wait, there's more; he came back to dominate the Pacers in the second half. Is it safe to say the Knicks may be running their players too hard with the Brunson and Anunoby injuries? Amin and Charlotte are not surprised Jokic won the MVP, but they believe there are plenty of runners-up who could've been number 1...hint hint: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Lastly, Amin and Charlotte shake their magical 8-ball to predict what future NBA...

Amin and Charlotte think players have been suspended for less than what Jamal Murray did at his recent game against the Timberwolves, where he threw a towel and ice pack on the court. The "We Want Boston" chants went silent as the Celtics beat the Cavs by 30 points, and Charlotte couldn't be happier. Amin feels the young OKC team is giving the Mavs a run for their money as they blow past them in game 1. We preview game two of the Pacers vs the Knicks, but nothing seems to be stopping Jalen...

The Knicks eked out a win over the Pacers, and the Nuggets are now down 2-0 against the Timberwolves as the series heads to Minnesota. Amin and Charlotte are excited about Mavericks vs Thunder, but the real question is: Is it time for the Clippers to shake up their team with some trades? The Cavs might get swept, or at least that's what Charlotte is hoping for. However, the Cavs might have something up their sleeve, and his name is Donovan Mitchell. NBA Awards are here, and the nominees are...

It's official: Jalen Brunson and the Knicks have eliminated Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and the rest of the 76ers after game six last night.

Charlotte's Celtics sent the Heat packing on an early vacation, and she treated herself to a cold cup of Heat tears. Amin goes off on ESPN for trying to get retweets after tweeting about the Clippers and Crypto Arena, which eventually backfired when The Clippers suffered the worst post-season loss in franchise history. Michael Rubin bought 2000 tickets for Philly fans, but Amin and Charlotte think it might not be enough for the Knicks' takeover of the Sixers arena. We put our conspiracy...

Just because Lebron James is out of the playoffs doesn't mean Amin and Charlotte can't speculate about what his next career move will be! From Cardi B to Ben Stiller, Knicks fans from all walks of life were deflated after the Sixers took over in OT last night. Charlotte's Celtics are fighting for their life in tonight's game against the Heat. Charlotte and Amin close out today with Bet the Show, where they make picks for tonight's matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers. Charlotte also...

Breaking news: the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets thanks to another Jamal Murray go-ahead shot. Amin and Charlotte are loving this underdog story of the Knicks ending the Sixers playoff hopes. Embiid was disappointed in the Philly fans, but with his stats from game 4, Charlotte thinks he should only be disappointed in himself. Kevin Durant isn't to blame for the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards is on a tear and we just witnessed the...

Charlotte and Amin react to Joel Embiid's 50-point game against the Knicks last night as the 76ers earned their first win in the series.

Amin is back with the hot takes, and he's reminding Charlotte that her Celtics aren't untouchable, as proven in their latest game against the Miami Heat. Joel Embiid is looking like he's given up after their second straight loss. Amin argues that Anthony Davis falling into the Nuggets' bench after Jamal Murray's game-winning shot was one of the worst things that can happen to an NBA player. Charlotte and Amin close out today's episode with Bet the Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

With Amin out today, Charlotte has a guest co-host who's really shaking things up: Al Gorithm. Al is helping Charlotte get into everyone's algorithm using cutting-edge technology to pinpoint topics that are guaranteed to drive traffic to Oddball's various social media platforms. Is Anthony Edwards the next Michael Jordan? Do the Heat stand a chance against the Celtics without Jimmy Butler? Can the Mavs keep this pace in their series against the Clippers? And wasn't it crazy when Nikola...

Amin and Charlotte drop some hot takes on one of the most important NBA discussions of the year: the NBA awards. Where is Jalen Bruson? Does Victor Wembanyama deserve to win DPOY? Why isn't Joe Mazzula one of the Coach of the Year finalists? Amin also gives everyone the 411 on Kawhi Leonard and why he hasn't been playing for Clippers in their series against the Mavericks. Charlotte thinks if the Knicks win another game the fans might just burn down the city. We found out that you can't count...

In an effort to celebrate Taylor Swift's new album The Tortured Poet's Department, Charlotte and Amin preview this weekend's slate of playoff games with a new segment called The Tortured Players Department. Together they make a case for the saddest players on each playoff team, from Rudy Gobert on the Timberwolves to Anthony Davis on the Lakers.  Charlotte and Amin then talk to Jeff Stotts about injury-plagued play-in teams before closing the show with a segment called Heat Check. In an ode...

Jimmy Butler playing with an injured MCL for three quarters reminded Amin of an It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode, while Charlotte hopes her Celtics play the "Dark Lord" Erik Spoelstra without Jimmy Butler rather than the Sixers. Charlotte also thinks the Bulls are in the same category as a sneaky good team that could make a run in the playoffs. Later, we head to France to celebrate the great performances from international NBA players. Charlotte and Amin end the show with a new...
