June 10, 2025 NPDS - Panthers crush Oilers in Game 3 brawl fest! Red Sox call up Roman Anthony! Giannis staying with Bucks? (Episode 1294 Hour 1)
Today’s word of the day is ‘rattled’ as in Oilers as in Stanley Cup as in fighting as in the Florida Panthers. That’s right. A Game 3 thrashing by the Panthers and it’s now a 2-1 series lead. The Oilers looked like the Panthers just got to their heads and they couldn’t do anything but fight and commit penalty after penalty. The Panthers are deep, scoring from most shifts. The Oilers rely so much on McDavid and Draisaitl that when they dont produce, they lose. (14:30) The Red Sox called up top prospect Roman Anthony yesterday and he debuted vs the Rays. Not a great game, but that’s not the story. (33:00) Review: Better Sister. (36:30) What is happening with Giannis? Is he staying? Will he request a trade? What will happen!? (44:40) The Pacers are already focused on the offseason. Well, the front office is. What will happen with Myles Turner? (50:00) NPPOD.

June 10, 2025 ODDBALL - Thunder or Pacers: Which Style is Easier to Replicate? Plus SGA in All-Time Talks
The Thunder took down the Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. Success breeds copycats and we talk about which team is easier to replicate. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder run a one man centerpiece offense. The Pacers, on the other hand, mimic Tyrese Haliburton’s style and have three-point shooters. Who is more rare, a smart point guard or a once-in-a-lifetime talent? He just passed Allen Iverson for most points through first two career NBA Finals games, but is he better than ’06 Dwayne Wade? Michael Jordan? Steph Curry? Plus, a new week with new headlines!

June 09, 2025 ODDBALL - Pacers Take Down Thunder in Game 1
The Pacers beat the Thunder in a thrilling Game 1 of the NBA Finals. In OKC everyone wears the stadium shirts and sings Titanium by Sia. The arena was loud, but their excitement died down when Tyrese Haliburton hit the game winner. Cason Wallace and Lu Dort did everything they could on defense to keep Haliburton in the Dorture Chamber. Pascal Siakam and Obi Toppin were unsung heroes. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander needed help but Chet Holmgren was not productive and the Thunder couldn’t convert on their turnovers. All that and Iciest Play of the week!

Amin joins Izzy from courtside in Oklahoma City after Game 2 of the NBA Finals to share their instant reactions to all the action, including the biggest story of the night: the Finals logo is back on the court!

June 09, 2025 NPDS - Thunder get it done! Alcaraz v. Sinner was GREATNESS! Corbin Burnes out for the year! YIKES! (Episode 1923 Hour 1)
Today’s word of the day is ‘answer’ as in response as in Thunder as in NBA Finals as in Pacers as in SGA. Oklahoma City rolled in Game 2 like everyone thought they would. Heartbreak in Game 1, but this team knows how to respond. How about the NBA putting the logo on the court digitally? Were you a fan of that? (11:00) Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played one of the best tennis matches you’ll ever see in the French Open final. Amazing tennis. What a comeback. Couldn’t believe my eyes. On the opposite side we have Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff won her second Grand Slam. Sabalenka won the first set and then was outplayed. After the match… sore loser times a million. (30:00) Review: Pee Wee as Himself (34:10) Corbin Burnes is done for the season. Another pitcher needing Tommy John. Here we go again. (44:00) I have never seen what happened to Ryan Weathers happen before. Drilled in the head by a throw to 2nd in a warmup. And he stayed in the game after being flat on the field. What? Are the Marlins serious? (49:00) NPPOD.

June 06, 2025 NPDS - Haliburton does it again for the Pacers! White Sox are free of Jerry Reinsdorf... maybe! Let me explain! (Episode 1292 Hour1)
Today’s word of the day is ‘precisely’ as in the Pacers as in Tyrese Haliburton as in the Thunder as in SGA as in NBA Finals. The Pacers did it again. Another comeback win late. How are they doing this? It looked like the Thunder were going to win by 50! And then Tyrese Haliburton hit a game-winner. The Thunder just crumbled in the final 2 minutes. (10:40) The White Sox are for sale, but not really. Jerry Reinsdorf is ready to hand the team over to an Ishbia. Not the Suns owner, but his brother Justin! No later than 2034! (26:30) Review: Mountainhead. (35:00) Aaron Rodgers has joined the Steelers. How fun. The Steelers are suckers. (43:00) NPPOD
