    Derrick White = GOAT?!

    Derrick White = GOAT?!

    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 Brunson when he's been this hot. We also do your favorite segment of Bet the Show, where Amin and Charlotte's favorite bet is whether someone will break MJ's 63-point record during the 2024 playoffs.

    Knicks Survive, Nuggets Meltdown, and More Game 1 previews

    Knicks Survive, Nuggets Meltdown, and More Game 1 previews

    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 stacked with great players. Victor Wembenyana won Rookie of the Year, but should he also get votes for Defensive Player of the Year? The head coach of the Lakers, Darvin Ham, was fired, and it's safe to say Amin doesn't think JJ Reddick should take over after recently partnering with Lebron James on their podcast “Mind the Game.”

    Explaining Star Wars in NBA Terms

    Explaining Star Wars in NBA Terms

    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 and Amin recap that game, and preview New York's round two opponent: the Indiana Pacers. They also predict which remaining round one series will go all the way to game seven: Clippers vs Mavericks, or Magic vs Cavaliers? 

    And in honor of Star Wars Day tomorrow, Amin explains the beloved movie franchise to Charlotte in terms she'll actually understand: NBA comparisons. He explains why Grogu is like Victor Wembanyama, Jimmy Butler is like Darth Maul, and Ja Morant is like Kylo Ren.

    ¡Adios, Miami Heat!

    ¡Adios, Miami Heat!

    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 theory hats on to find out if Damian Lillard will be playing in tonight's game after seeing him with a burrito in his hand yesterday. If he does play, will that change the outcome of today's game and make this a seven-game series? We find out Charlotte may not know who "The Fonz" is.

    Tyrese Maxey makes Jon Stewart a Meme

    Tyrese Maxey makes Jon Stewart a Meme

    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 makes a bold prediction about the upcoming series between the Nuggets and Timberwolves.

    Lebron (and the Lakers) are Eliminated

    Lebron (and the Lakers) are Eliminated

    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 passing of the guard from KD to Edwards. Who's Doc Rivers going to blame this week? Amin and Charlotte play The Magic Touch, where they predict what Magic Johnson will tweet about in upcoming games.
