Summary

The Knicks eked out a win over the Pacers, and the Nuggets are now down 2-0 against the Timberwolves as the series heads to Minnesota. Amin and Charlotte are excited about Mavericks vs Thunder, but the real question is: Is it time for the Clippers to shake up their team with some trades? The Cavs might get swept, or at least that's what Charlotte is hoping for. However, the Cavs might have something up their sleeve, and his name is Donovan Mitchell. NBA Awards are here, and the nominees are stacked with great players. Victor Wembenyana won Rookie of the Year, but should he also get votes for Defensive Player of the Year? The head coach of the Lakers, Darvin Ham, was fired, and it's safe to say Amin doesn't think JJ Reddick should take over after recently partnering with Lebron James on their podcast “Mind the Game.” Learn more about your ad choices.

1:01.8	a zillion of these. He didn't have to win it this year. This is the one award
1:05.3	that he kind of has to win this year because this is the year he was a rookie. But look, it was my kind of feelings
1:11.4	about him really got bumped up after All-Star Weekend when I saw that he's like the one guy who understands what that means and so this is an incredible kind of first step in what I hope is a many award winning step journey that he goes on.
