Film(s) Study for the Dallas Mavericks

Amin gives his recap from being at game 3 of the Celtics vs the Mavs. The Mavs lost but put up a good fight; even so, Amin feels the Mavs didn't deserve the win because of poor play. Charlotte is just happy that the Celtics were able to capitalize without Porzingis. Luka fouling out helped their case, but Charlotte and Amin think it's a bigger fish to fry with how it was handled by refs, Luka, and fans. Luka is great but still has a lot to learn, both on and off the court. Amin got up close in the press conference with Head Coach Jason Kidd, and you tell us if Jason Kidd liked Amin's question. We also get to analyze some of Jerry West's greatest quotes and relate them to current players in the NBA.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

*Exclusive* Audio (sorta) of Luka Doncic After Fouling Out in Game 3

Rest In Peace to the late great Jerry West, who helped the NBA in more ways than one, and has a legacy that will live forever.  
 Turns out Porzingis was injured again and deemed out for game 3. Charlotte doesn't think it's make-or-break, but she does believe it'll affect the game. Amin says this will definitely play in the Mav's favor, but who knows if they'll capitalize. We then become the (un)official Clipped after-show and recreate Chris Paul's dramatic monologue from last night's episode.  
 We also have another week of Pick 6 for the NBA finals. Check out the show to hear Amin's and Charlotte's Draftkings Pick 6 for tonight's game.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Porzingis' Injury & Chris Paul Wants His Ring!

Amin and Charlotte got to witness firsthand the Boston Celtics continuing the streak after beating the Mavs 105-98! The team is rolling, but Tatum and Brown feel head coach Jason Kidd is trying to drive a wedge between them. Charlotte agrees but knows it will not rattle them. The Celtics defense is taking care of business, and Amin doesn't know if the Mavs will be able to keep up and that the pressure is on them for game 3. Luka might be hurt and Kyrie is on a cold streak. Lastly, of course, Amin and Charlotte are contractually obligated to talk about the Lakers and Caitlin Clark. Dan Hurley turns down $70 million from the Lakers to stay at UCONN, and Caitlin Clark wasn't chosen to be on the Olympic team and says, "They woke a monster," but Charlotte and Amin call BS.
