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.

Celtics Put Charlotte in Glass Case of Emotion

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.

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.
