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.

T-Wolves Crush Nuggets and a Knicks Locker Room Mystery

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 years, but Amin thinks that's not surprising based on the teams they faced.

The Celtics still have much to prove feat. The Larry O'Brien trophy!

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 which playoff teams are the most fun to watch, and which are unbearable.

Don't Doubt Jokic, Bruson, and Caitlin Clark

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 championship. The Knicks were on fire, but they dropped the ball in their last two games after being plagued with injuries. Is coach Tom Thibodeaux running the starting five into the ground? After a hot preseason for the WNBA, they're looking to keep the ball rolling as Caitin Clark debuts in her first game tonight with the Indiana Fever.
