We're only a month into the NBA season and Oddball already has so much to be thankful for! Amin and Charlotte have their lists of things this NBA season ready to go and take a look at the latest updates from the Knicks $10 million lawsuit against the Raptors, why Knicks owner James Dolan announced he's stepping down and the In-Season Tournament action from last night. Plus, who will likely win the group between the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat on Friday? Uh oh... Aunt Char and Gramps Amin pull up to the Thanksgiving table with a lot of questions about what the hell is going on in the NBA these days... thankfully, Oddball has some answers to help guide them (and you) through these kinds of discussions this holiday week.

Charlotte and Amin recap their night at game one of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks. Kristaps Prozingis had a heck of a comeback to Boston, and Kyrie Irving did not. Charlotte totally did not panic when the Mavericks cut the Celtic's lead to eight. Amin comments on how ornery Luka Doncic was during his post game press conference. Jrue Holiday says even his white teammates can guard.  
 To close out the show, Charlotte and Amin highlight Doris Burke, Bill Walton's tribute, and Commissioner Adam Silver.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Celtics Prove White Men Can Guard

Future Hall of Famer, Dallas Mavericks phenom, and Humanitarian J.J. Barea joins the Oddball crew to tell us why the Mavs are winning the Finals and more. Speaking of J.J., it seems that all along, everyone thought J.J. Redick might be the coach of the Lakers; however, it turns out the Lakers have been scouting two-time NCAA champion Dan Hurley. Nobody knows who will be the coach, but Amin and Charlotte predict we will find out when the season starts. We also bring back our Hype Me Up segment featuring Grant Williams, Jabari Smith Jr, Matthew Tkachuk, and Luka Doncic, but Amin is feeling chippy today and may not hype up anybody.

JJ Barea joins us to hype up The Dallas Mavericks

Today, we're playing Lie Detector while we wait for Game 1 of the NBA Finals tomorrow. Is Luka Doncic truthful when he says there is no beef between himself and Kristaps Porzingis? Is Porzingis telling the truth when he says he's running pain-free? And is Joe Mazzulla actually a philosopher instead of a coach? We also get Charlotte and Amin’s initial thoughts on the series Clipped after its debut yesterday.  
 And with the NBA Finals around the corner, Charlotte and Amin provide their official Oddball Pick6 predictions for game one of the NBA Finals, presented by DraftKings.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Are Luka, Porzingis, and Joe Mazzulla Liars?!

The NBA Finals are almost here, but in the meantime, the WNBA has given us plenty to talk about: Caitlin Clark getting shoved. Amin and Charlotte wonder where her teammates were and highlight that conflicts and brawls are nothing new to the WNBA or basketball. With the Finals approaching and Jokic out of the playoffs, is Luka Doncic the next international star to reign as champion? Will he make us forget all about Jokic? And is Kristaps Porzingis' biggest enemy his own calf?   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Caitlin Clark Is Not The First or The Last

Charlotte and Amin discuss Luka and Kyrie dominating Ant, KAT, Gobert and the Wolves in Game 5 and break down why Luka is beloved no matter what he does or says. Are the Boston Celtics looking in a mirror ahead of this Dallas Mavericks final matchup? Maybe! Also, is Kyrie planning to troll TD Garden…again!?!?! Later in the show, Amin and Charlotte talk 3v3 women's basketball and competitive cheese rolling. Then Darren Wallen just released a new single about Kelsey Plum, which Amin and Charlotte roast.
