You're listening to DraftKings

0:04

Network. Welcome

0:19

to Oddball. I'm Charlotte Wilder. That's

0:21

Amin Elhassen and Amin, this is

0:23

our first show full week of

0:26

playoffs. Can you believe that we

0:28

started last year in Summer League

0:30

and now we're here. It's finally

0:33

happening playoff basketball. We

0:35

are inundated with

0:38

real stuff now. We

0:40

just spent almost a year doing

0:42

filler, ladies and gentlemen. That's

0:45

right. I admit it now.

0:47

The whole thing. July, October,

0:49

December, March, all filler. Now,

0:52

now the fun begins. This is

0:54

the meat. This is the real meat on the

0:56

bone. I'm so excited. We're

0:59

going to start today with Odd1Out per

1:01

usual on a Monday where

1:04

we have six stories. We are only allowed

1:06

to talk about five of them and we

1:08

talk about them for amount of time in

1:10

descending order. If you don't know

1:12

what we mean, you'll figure it out. So

1:14

let's get going. Let's see what's behind door

1:16

number one. NBA

1:19

Awards. So

1:22

if you've watched Oddball, you've

1:25

heard us talk about the MVP conversation. We

1:27

also had the trading block where players could

1:29

get on or off a bus, which we

1:31

should bring back in the offseason to mean.

1:34

But this year, finally, we have the finalists

1:36

for the NBA Awards. We're going

1:38

to start with the MVP

1:40

because you're either

1:43

in the conversation. The easy one. Luca

1:46

Dantje, Shay Giljes Alexander,

1:48

Nikoli Jokic. I don't think

1:50

there's any huge surprise here.

1:53

Yeah, there's a couple of things happening here.

1:55

Right. Number one, obviously, Jokic

1:58

was amazing in the Nuggets. Had

2:00

a great year, but it

2:02

is there's a going to be this is the apology

2:04

to her right all the voters who last just said

2:06

This guy's not good enough to win three MVPs and

2:08

then he did what he did in the playoffs in

2:10

the finals They're like on second

2:13

thought There's an

2:15

element of just kind of like our bad

2:17

that's happening here. Mm-hmm. I think so

2:19

and I feel like in some ways

2:21

That's why there wasn't a ton of

2:24

the MVP conversation You call

2:26

it the MVP conversation is a bar and you're

2:28

either in it or you know, it's close You're close

2:30

to the center of conversation. I don't feel like

2:32

the bar was that busy this year I don't

2:34

feel like there was a whole lot of MVP

2:36

conversation because of what you just said because people

2:39

were sort of like, ah Man, I made a

2:41

really big deal about yoga shopping very good. And

2:43

then he did what he did Yeah,

2:45

like it's a quiet night at the bar

2:47

the guys are there But they're speaking in

2:49

hush tones and there's real yokas has been

2:51

talking the whole time Thank you. Just

2:53

Alexander do want to give him a shout out He's

2:56

been incredible this year both

2:58

offensively and defensively Obviously

3:01

the Thunder had the best record in the West.

3:03

So there's a lot to be proud

3:06

of and for him You know for anyone who

3:08

thinks you know, this dude should be MVP. I

3:11

think there's yeah There's a strong argument that

3:13

he should be MVP based on the

3:15

resume I just

3:17

think that the whole my bad yokage

3:19

feeling is going to overcome and overtake

3:21

for the voters I think Luca had

3:23

an amazing year, but then

3:25

the Mavericks not being as good as either

3:28

of those other two teams Takes

3:30

away from his argument. I I

3:32

totally agree I also i'm very excited to mean

3:34

for you know, a lot of people come over

3:36

to the NBA during the playoffs They're like, okay.

3:39

Well football's over let's go on. Let's move on

3:41

to this We've been here the whole

3:43

time and we're here to tell you that if you

3:45

haven't watched SGA play You are in

3:47

for one hell of a treat. I really

3:50

hope that the Thunder actually go farther

3:52

I mean, they're the one seed they should

3:54

but um, I just I love watching this

3:56

guy play So I want more of that but

3:58

he's he's he's They are a by

4:01

the way. Like again with all these lists,

4:03

I feel like the omissions. Gonna.

4:05

Glare little louder than than like who is

4:07

on the list so. I. Know because

4:09

I'm in a group chat with a bunch my friends in

4:11

New York. Though. Where's deal in

4:14

Branson? question came up a lot in

4:16

in the end. Is it sad and.

4:19

I'll be interested to see when we

4:21

obviously get announced the actual award winner

4:24

Ndp comes as a. Late. May.

4:27

Not be released votes and we get

4:29

to see. Who. else was kind

4:31

of nazi one that door and how far

4:33

back with a were. Yeah, let's

4:35

say the jail in Branson conversation for then

4:37

because I were going to move on to

4:40

it and to Play of the Year which

4:42

is leave that bam at a bio. Is

4:44

that really? Go bear with that Victor When

4:46

been? Yeah, I'm Us. How do you feel

4:49

that this lineup. So. Ah,

4:52

I. Get the excitement of our money!

4:54

Ah me Led the league in in

4:57

blocked shots. As a

4:59

rookie which is pretty impressive. he he had

5:01

more block shots per game that we seen

5:03

in quite a long time. Having. Said

5:05

that. His team was

5:07

free terrible and they were very

5:09

durable defensively. And. I found it

5:11

is I feel that. But. He's

5:14

going win Defensive player of the year one day. We.

5:16

Know it. That. They don't have to

5:18

be today. We don't have to like jumped to

5:20

show everyone how about guard or ahead of the

5:23

curve we were. We knew it. Like you don't

5:25

have to do that, you can allow it to

5:27

happen. To. Me either comes within

5:29

Rudy and. Them. On a bio

5:31

and my thing is always. Who's the guy

5:34

that I could say can guard. Everybody.

5:37

It's Bam to me. Babs should be defensive

5:39

play the year, but I guess we'll see

5:41

what happens. For. Also see what

5:43

happens when it comes to coach of the

5:46

year because there are few very interesting emissions.

5:48

I A We had Jamal Mosley of Orlando.

5:50

Mark Dagnall The Thunder Chris Bench

5:52

of the Timberwolves no. Job as

5:54

a less know Tom Thibodeau ah is

5:56

a little surprising. To. Me: yeah,

5:58

some sauce. About Mazzulla because

6:00

here's a guy in his second year

6:02

of coaching has the best record in

6:04

the league, has a number one off

6:06

as in the history of the game

6:08

has gotten his stars to tix sign

6:11

of take a step back and be

6:13

more facilitators. Ah, You know lower

6:15

their scoring and of in the interest of others.

6:17

Has. Gotten Derek White. To.

6:19

Play Out of His Mine has

6:21

played for much of the year

6:24

with Sam Houser. been preserved and.

6:26

The other corner as rotation players like

6:28

all of these things. Are. Pretty

6:31

freaking amazing when you think about it. And

6:34

for him to not even be a to be an

6:36

afterthought and that's know the suspect is other causes the

6:38

ah the great jobs. I was kind of

6:40

shocked about that. There are. He's also

6:42

our number one. weird our sell on that.

6:44

Now onto door number two. I mean, what

6:46

we have. Let's. See reveal

6:48

to me. That.

6:51

It's Clippers vs. Mavericks game

6:53

to his and night Charlotte

6:55

The Clippers One game one.

6:58

One. Oh Nine And Ninety Seven. As

7:00

scores misleading. Cause they will get in the

7:02

ass with the Mavericks more for most of the night.

7:04

And then I made this kind of like Civil Rights

7:06

of weight of way in the second half and put

7:08

it in the fourth quarter. To. Where. The.

7:11

Scarlet respectable, but this game was never

7:13

close. The math scored eight points in

7:16

the second quarter as a set third

7:18

lowest scoring First half. In. Playoff

7:20

history. Charlotte. Yeah

7:23

and the masses recover to make you pick

7:25

a reality of you don't know Charlene the

7:27

more the play off. The Mavs.

7:30

In five. Yeah it was

7:32

another thing that came to me as a as

7:34

a premonition I said it out loud ah as

7:37

see a little silly now but hey it's still

7:39

possible Bath lies the I went with a cane

7:41

as I guys would he do to me like

7:43

this is this is that they didn't shut it

7:45

down on the average was like I did not

7:47

come to play like I didn't show up. And

7:50

it's like how do you not area so is like

7:52

it's the playoffs against the clips like. As.

7:54

Your one. Just Leo. Literally. Your one

7:56

job and of classes to show up so to

7:58

say in your press conference. Then shall I respect

8:00

the honesty? But I think think maybe try showing

8:03

up. A mean, maybe that's what they should do. Or.

8:05

Other be a little unfair, Young Daniel

8:07

Gaffer I beg of gaffer vid in

8:09

the league. Only. For a handful

8:12

years, Daniel Gathered has been to the playoffs

8:14

for a grand total of six games. And

8:17

that's including what were you know gave

8:19

one. So he had five games of

8:21

experience. Coming. Into his first

8:23

game with a Dallas. had those five

8:25

years with the Washington Wizards. Okay,

8:28

Cel yeah may then be me then

8:30

Magazine: a little mean here. I take

8:32

that back. I respect your honesty Daniel and

8:34

I hope that this is a i helped that

8:36

now you'd show up your balkan. We can't wait

8:39

to see you. Need a bigger story here though

8:41

I think is is collide not playing for the

8:43

club years. There and now he missed

8:45

a bunch of games to towards the end of

8:47

the season. Ah, With I believe it

8:49

was kind enough to see i still can't see

8:52

that word. That would be interesting

8:54

thing here. So it is the rover all

8:56

people look at been a that season. that's

8:58

all. They're resting, the resting and for the

9:00

playoffs. And then they see him. Sit.

9:03

Are gay, were all arrested. Have a good as dire as

9:05

old as I was a. Or.

9:07

He's. Actually hurt ladies and gentlemen. And

9:10

the he didn't play because he couldn't

9:12

He couldn't play. And. This

9:14

goes back to. Twenty Twenty

9:16

One where the Clippers made it to the

9:18

conference finals. What lose that Assad's but in

9:21

the second round? They. Beat the Utah

9:23

Jazz mostly without the serves as a

9:25

quiet littered who was them listed as

9:27

questionable and day to day. Every

9:29

single day without an update is your plate of

9:32

S L A C and then I'll give them

9:34

as a note choirs out and this continued throughout.

9:36

Like I said the next round the conference finals

9:38

and it turns out. Get. A

9:40

tornado feel Charlotte. Yeah. There

9:43

was no way he was ever going to play.

9:45

The Clippers knew that, but for some reason. They.

9:47

Do this little quoi game of a

9:49

maybe? I don't know. Why

9:52

Leonard has been unfairly been

9:54

the scapegoat, the the poster

9:56

child for load management and

9:58

rest with a Reality. For

10:00

much of the last five years the dude

10:02

has just been legitimately heart he's not sitting

10:04

of he doesn't want to play. Is that

10:06

sitting that as a precaution he's sitting because

10:09

he's hurt. And that's something that

10:11

sans any fan who's like oh he doesn't want

10:13

to play or they're saving hand is that's not

10:15

true. Every detail how competitive these that it You

10:17

know a competitive yesterday to make it to the

10:20

N B A You know how the dream of

10:22

and a plan is to play in the playoffs.

10:24

This is not some cute like we're gonna win

10:26

this series. Self: A: We don't need me. Nothing has

10:28

given at this point. so let's nip that in

10:31

the bud. Talk about a conversation and less. Let's

10:33

set that bar down A me. Over

10:36

his evolve grade or three rivers like the

10:38

idea that life the i know book does

10:40

it has been going crazy. All.

10:42

Season long but. Gonna

10:45

say I don't need to. Six

10:47

seven six. A defensive with kid

10:49

over Europe was added without a

10:51

man. Paul George's happening. Come on

10:53

guys. We. Will not happening

10:56

a God or okay Door

10:58

number three. just. When.

11:00

We have. And. And

11:02

T. D. Anthony Edwards, Kevin Durant

11:05

I loved this moment and the

11:07

Anthony Edwards has famously said Kevin

11:09

Durant is his favorite player. The

11:11

fundamental moral splice. Anthony Edwards went

11:13

off for it. Thirty three points

11:15

he had nine rebounds, an average

11:17

hitter shot over Durant's He just

11:19

talked to him and he had

11:21

this visceral like. The. The

11:23

amazing moment of of triumphs

11:25

and and Katie was sort

11:27

of smiling and laughing. And

11:29

afterwards. Aunt said this about it. The.

11:31

Little back and forth with Kevin Durant there and

11:33

through. Core of fun as bad and would you

11:36

make of yeah monsters my arm up and everybody

11:38

here knows the muffin were more. Thompson knows how

11:40

to wonder Bissell is ever in my life was.

11:44

Still, Be a bit so sweet

11:47

is like one of the best of

11:49

my whole life's for sure. I don't

11:51

either. I love sports where you get

11:53

sweet, honest moments like that where he

11:56

eats. you know, The. changing of

11:58

the guard perhaps but also some appreciation

12:00

from the players who are unbelievable

12:02

right now talking about players who have been

12:05

unbelievable for so long. Charlotte

12:07

let me ask you a question

12:09

if you could show out like

12:11

that to your childhood

12:13

idol who would it be and what would

12:15

the manner of showing out before you? Oh

12:18

god I'm gonna have to think my

12:20

when you say childhood idol I think

12:22

Mia Ham I was absolutely obsessed with

12:24

her but I'm I would never have

12:26

been good enough at science so maybe

12:28

it would have been like writing a

12:30

really great article about

12:32

her that would be the

12:35

closest I could ever come. The

12:37

largest dog ever is outside of

12:39

my window barking. Really? It sounds

12:41

like a monster. We can't hear

12:43

it but they must have liked

12:45

my take. Yes for

12:48

me it would be making

12:50

Eddie Murphy laugh like that

12:53

would be like my thing like if I if

12:55

I went on stage and did stand-up or

12:57

made a movie or whatever and Eddie Murphy laughed

12:59

and like just all this is hilarious like that to

13:02

me would be like you know that's that

13:04

has to be what what Anthony Edwards

13:06

felt like it's like I'm not only doing

13:08

this in the playoffs I'm living my dream

13:10

as an NBA player I'm doing it against

13:13

a dude I grew up watching and idolizing

13:15

I was talking to Zach Harper and he

13:17

recounted this story from like 2013 or 2012

13:19

of Durant going off for like

13:23

40 something against the T-wolves. Yeah.

13:26

That's when he played for the Thunder and

13:28

you know like now it's

13:30

kind of cool seeing Anthony Edwards go off

13:32

like that you know for the Minnesota

13:34

Timberwolves against Kevin Durant and I said you know what

13:37

the fun part about that story is Anthony

13:39

Edwards was like 10 years old when that

13:41

game happened. Crazy. Yeah want to feel old also

13:44

I'm amending mine mine would be a cameo

13:46

in a Muppet movie. Oh

13:48

yes absolutely absolutely. That's it. If

13:51

I could do if I could do anything that would

13:53

make my younger self feel like wow she really made

13:56

it it would be a cameo sitting next to Kermit

13:58

and Miss Piggy on a park bench. Oh,

14:00

and what about what about Fozzie? Oh, Gonzo

14:05

I always really identified with Gonzo. Okay,

14:07

let's move on. All right.

14:10

Let's get door number five What

14:13

do we got? For

14:15

number four before now. Okay, I count these

14:20

Coach Missoula who I stood up for and I

14:22

said it's the same that he wasn't even in

14:24

the top three finalists for coaches a year but

14:28

There was an incident in game one

14:31

where Caleb Martin ran into Jason Tatum

14:33

late causing a scary fall Everything's

14:36

alright. Everyone's fine, but Missoula's response

14:39

Was interesting to say the least let's take a listen You

14:43

spoken him he did look like he hit his head a

14:45

little bit I was just thinking I

14:47

was waiting to see what he was gonna do. I

14:49

was kind of excited about the whole situation. So I Was

14:53

just I enjoyed watching it Okay

14:56

That's your boy. Yeah I

14:59

know I'm gonna answer that he I think

15:01

what he's trying to say is that it was exciting to see

15:03

physical basketball Against the heat who

15:05

are famously physical team Tatum got hit.

15:07

He went down hard It was terrifying, but

15:09

he popped right back up to show everyone he

15:11

wasn't hurt. He kept going somehow. He wasn't hurt

15:13

I don't really know how cuz that looked awful

15:16

but Missoula but Joe What

15:21

are we doing? You're we're excited Well

15:24

phrase it differently my dude Let

15:27

me ask you this let me ask you

15:29

this more ridiculous Joe Missoula for saying he's

15:31

excited to see it or my

15:34

good friend and co-worker at

15:36

Sirius XM Brian's

15:38

Calibrini, okay saying that Eric

15:41

Sposa did on purpose. He sent in

15:43

the goons to go after Tatum I

15:45

said yeah, come on, man What

15:47

are we doing? I think

15:49

I have week past just so I can

15:51

hear scales Homer takes I live for

15:54

them I love them. I think

15:56

on pawn. I I'm more surprised

15:58

that Missoula said He was excited

16:01

then scallop ringy said that Caleb Martin

16:03

was a sleeper cell so

16:05

it's just it's and and

16:07

it kills me Because yeah

16:09

like a smart guy like he's this

16:12

isn't a guy who's got flight on

16:14

seat of his hands But like this

16:17

Boston thing man you guys I don't know what

16:19

the oh yeah Dirty

16:21

water and it gets into your brain and we're

16:23

all infected so scowl. He's from

16:25

Southern, California Like stop

16:27

me Let me always a

16:29

Boston guy like no he's not he played there.

16:31

He's not from Boston You know

16:34

we could talk about this forever We've

16:36

run out of time to even see what's

16:38

behind the six door the fifth door the

16:40

fifth door is Frederick Weiss

16:43

Talking about Embiid saying

16:46

I consider this boy a great player as

16:48

much as he is a dirty guy I

16:50

hate him for the things that he did

16:52

a need Did it's

16:55

that even the best the best quote was

16:57

he said Personally

16:59

should have his French citizenship strip then

20:35

you see the highest. Of yeah I

20:38

20:40

20:54

20:56

a. Desert. Is Albert

20:58

Hm Edwards who does is really

21:01

funny videos on Instagram. Where. It's

21:03

like this is the guy who has everything

21:05

on private or whatever it is. the guy

21:07

would have any coffee in the morning for?

21:09

Yeah, I don't I just because of just

21:11

naturally energetic rights. Started. Going down the

21:13

guys go zero dark thirty in the playoffs

21:15

and it goes the I just I don't

21:17

I don't really need it you know I

21:19

feel like is a distraction. Though. I

21:22

decided I'm not addicted and social media the way

21:24

it some people are. also. I said this eleventh

21:26

hour show once and didn't get as much that

21:29

Love is I wanted it is My friends and

21:31

I when we're in our twenties and you'd get

21:33

go said we can't Zero Dark, dark, flirty and

21:35

I made it up. Your.

21:37

Job the know. Okay, whatever. Are

21:40

moving odds on. The

21:42

Clippers. I got off to a

21:44

great start vs Dallas with Alkaline

21:46

Leonard, but. Will doubtless the

21:48

a lot to turn things around and

21:50

then the cell in the blank for

21:52

you, I mean, his game one of

21:55

Mass Clippers was. Blank. Sphincter

21:58

stricter for. Charlotte

22:00

Wilder. Fink the shrinker. Fink

22:03

the shrinker. Well, yeah. This is

22:05

my full prediction. Excuse me. Yeah, your

22:07

full prediction was Mavs in 5, which

22:09

could still happen. Like the Mavs could

22:12

sweep the next four games and just

22:14

figure everything out. So, but no,

22:16

let's be real. Like this series

22:19

is going to go long. I've seen this a

22:21

million times. Hell, I've seen in the NBA Finals

22:23

in 2005, Piston Spurs. Game

22:25

one was a blowout and everyone was like, all

22:27

right, well, this one's over. And then game two

22:29

was a blowout in the other direction. And it

22:32

ends up going seven games. I

22:34

had, I think I had Mavs

22:36

in seven. Or maybe I had Clippers in seven.

22:38

I don't know. See, that's how much it, it

22:40

doesn't matter. I think there's going

22:42

to be a lot of

22:44

emotional rollercoastering happening here. Now,

22:47

what happens is a more interesting

22:49

outcome than my Mavs in 5. So I'm fine

22:51

with it. But, you know, sometimes you got to take a

22:53

swing. All right. Or a,

22:55

a, a, a logo

22:58

three in basketball. Okay.

23:00

Charlotte, here we go. This next one,

23:03

we got to take it to the world's most famous

23:05

arena. Because it only took one playoff win for

23:08

Knicks fans to lose their mind.

23:10

Roll it. That's

23:12

right. They're lighting a Joe LMB

23:14

jersey on fire. Oh my

23:16

God. I hadn't seen that. Yeah.

23:18

And they also were chanting f*** Trey

23:21

Young outside. Which is

23:23

hilarious to me that

23:26

like Knicks fans, like

23:28

the things they go to are always f***

23:32

Trey Young and then f*** Tom Brady. It's

23:34

amazing. A guy who's not playing against them and

23:36

a guy who doesn't even play the same sport.

23:39

I was at the game where the f***

23:41

Trey Young started. I mean, the first one

23:43

ever. And, and the energy

23:45

there was enough to power the

23:47

whole city of New York. So I, I understand

23:50

why they keep going back to it, but it

23:52

makes no sense. So by

23:54

the end of round one, Knicks

23:56

fans will... Will. Blank.

24:02

continue to be unwell because even

24:04

if the Knicks win, that just

24:06

ratchets up the anxiety and onto

24:08

the second round, they're going

24:11

to be burning like not just

24:13

jerseys, they're going to be burning

24:15

down buildings by the city. The

24:18

city might not be here if the Knicks keep

24:20

doing well. So I know

24:22

that's sort of a cop out answer, but I can't think of

24:24

another way to put it. I can't

24:26

wait for Charlotte went

24:29

outside of Madison Square Garden for

24:31

game two and talked to

24:33

Knicks fans in the street. I cannot wait

24:35

to see what they said. Dave,

24:39

can't wait to show you. Okay, our

24:41

last one here, our last time traveling

24:43

headline or prediction, it's about Damian Lillard

24:45

because on Sunday it was game time.

24:48

He had 33 points. He

24:50

led the Bucks to a blowout win over Indian

24:52

game one. So fans

24:54

of Dame Dalla are

24:56

all asking because

24:58

he makes music. Dame's song about

25:00

this series will be called Blank,

25:02

I mean. Y'all

25:05

must have forgot. That's

25:09

a shout out to Roy Jones Jr.

25:11

who also dabbled in some music making

25:13

and had one song that

25:15

I don't even, I can't name another Roy Jones

25:18

song, but he had one song called Y'all Must

25:20

Have Forgot, which is the greatest song ever because

25:22

all he did was rap about actual fights

25:24

that he did, including when he beat Bernard

25:27

Hopkins with his left hand because his right

25:29

hand was broken. He said, when I

25:31

broke my right hand, I beat him with my left

25:33

hand. Y'all must have forgot. There's an actual thing that

25:35

happened and the actual thing that he rapped about. And

25:38

so I feel like Damian Lillard must be walking

25:40

around with the Y'all Must Have Forgot because a

25:42

lot of people are like, oh, Damian's washed, oh,

25:44

this and the Bucks. Remember, I told you guys,

25:47

I got the books in the conference finals. I

25:50

told you guys, things get easier for

25:52

veteran teams when they have a week.

25:55

They had four, I heard Jared Greenberg

25:57

of NBA TV say this, they

25:59

had four. Practices. They.

26:01

To have an ad for Brad. This is the

26:03

entire year with Doc Rivers, the people that I

26:06

served in a week. So it's so true. Also,

26:08

You know what else? He almost forgot the

26:10

time he teleported after beating the bucks in

26:12

the regular season when. Did

26:15

the dame time thing on his wrist.

26:17

You know who didn't forget that dame.

26:19

You later that yellow didn't forget that

26:21

dame. Me up really quick. I

26:23

want to go back through Braun. What's

26:26

he gonna do? With. All his

26:28

his lie. What peers I had the

26:30

brawn. James. Will. Go to

26:32

pursue. The

26:35

hear. It

26:44

may sound dumb. Seen

26:46

even month on that. Assists

26:48

the slid miracle sound like. This

26:51

is the sound of a child surgery be

26:53

performed by a robot. A

26:56

personalized. Currently some miraculous saying.

27:02

Like innovative procedures with less pain.

27:04

And faster recovery. Children's

27:07

Hospital Colorado. Here it's

27:10

different.
