The New York Knicks lost in the Eastern Conference Finals and they left us with more questions than answers. Here on Oddball we ask, What's Knixt? Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson don't work well together. KAT was not defensively strong. And Brunson is not a happy passer. Can the Knicks run it back with the same lineup? Tom Thibodeau took the Knicks the farthest they have been in 25 years, but is he worth another year? Who could be the missing piece in the Knicks lineup? Giannis Antetokounmpo? Kevin Durant? LeBron James? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tyrese Haliburton had a poor game. Can they do it? Can the Knicks really do it? (8:50) The Dallas Stars got eliminated from the Western Conference Finals for the 3rd straight season. Peter DeBoer pulled his goalie Jake Oettinger 7 minutes into the game! And then after the game he threw him under the bus! (17:50) Is Alex Ovechkin returning next season? Maybe!

The Thunder are moving on and Tony joins Izzy today on today's episode of Oddball! Anthony Edwards is the entire identity of the Timberwolves... is that enough, or do they need to upgrade the talent around him? The Knicks might have just missed their best chance at a title, and we have questions about Jalen Brunson and KAT's long-term potential. New York needs a savior, which the front office has been saying for 50 years... but who could it be? Giannis Antetokounmpo? Zion Williamson? Lebron James?

(7:17) The Florida Panthers are headed back to the Stanley Cup Final! That's three straight years! How have they been able to do it? (13:33) Sandy Alcantara is having a miserable, no good, very bad season. This is not good for the Marlins who knew they'd want to trade him. What now? How can they fix him?

Tyrese Haliburton is lighting up the Knicks and his stats are impressive, but even he agrees we are cherry picking. Does he belong in conversations with the best point guards of all time? Jalen Brunson has been exposed in this series as a defensive and offensive liability. The offense should flow through Karl-Anthony Towns if the Knicks expect to get a pride win in front of their home crowd. The Knicks can't build around two defensive liabilities, so the only answer for New York is... more Mitchell Robinson? Or maybe they can just blame the refs.

Today's word of the day is ‘immaculate' as in perfect as in overrated as in Tyrese Haliburton as in no turnovers as in big win. Haliburton and the Pacers are now just one win away from the NBA Finals. Haliburton made history with a 30/15/10/0 stat line. The Knicks just have no answer for that. (10:35) Kendrick Perkins had some thoughts on why Anthony Edwards can't be the face of the league. Well… (20:00) We have another update on the Athletics of wherever they are from these days. A huge update. A concessionaire is going to invest in the club and the Athletics desperately need that money. (32:30) Review: Survivor Season 48.

Amin was in the building to see Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, and Chet Holmgren combine for 95 points and lead the Thunder to a 128-126 Game 4 victory over the Timberwolves. Something about being right just feels so... right! Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle couldn't get their offense going. Is it a matter of aggression, or are they not being put in a position to succeed? Either way, the flop hurts a little extra when Naz Reid, Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and the rest of the Minnesota roster played well enough to win.

Today's word of the day is ‘Memorial Day' as in the holiday as in MLB as in standing as in playoffs. What? Well, most people think that what the standings look like now will be the standings when the season ends. (5:15) Shohei Ohtani has taken to the mound for the first time in over 600 days. He threw live BP before the Mets game on Sunday at Citi Field and he's starting to look good. (14:48) Tarik Skubal might just do it again. He is a full blown ace and showed it. (20:30) When will the Royals call up Jac Caglianone? He is crushing it in the minor leagues right now. Power bat. Record-setting. And the Royals could definitely use him! (33:10) Review: The Last of Us Season 2. (36:20) Caitlin Clark is hurt and this is big business. Uh oh. (44:10) NPPOD. Let's talk about the playoffs. Knicks have life for now. Timberwolves had life.

For the first time in 25 years, the Knicks won an ECF game. Karl-Anthony Towns played like garbage in the first three quarters, but then he put up 20 points in the fourth. Has any other NBA player redeemed themselves in a single quarter like KAT did? Tom Thibodeau is being hailed as the Knicks savior for finally using his bench... but would he have done it if KAT and Brunson hadn't gotten into foul trouble? Is Haliburton aura farming? No championship team has lost a playoff game by 40+ points until the Thunder lost to the T-Wolves, so they can't win a championship… or can they?

Today's word of the day is ‘diminished' as in quality as in performance as in the Colorado Rockies as in Denver as in lawsuits. How can those all be connected? The Rockies are off to the worst start by a Major League Baseball team in over 100 years. A full century! And now the team is being sued by a fan for being bad! (13:30) We have another lawsuit! This time a former player is suing the Cincinnati Reds over an unpadded tarp that took out his knee. He never played again. (23:00) The Denver Nuggets have a new coach! It's the interim! Still no GM though, but it's all about putting a team around Jokic. (32:20) Review: The Studio. (35:20) Donald Trump is trying to pass a new bill.

In a thrilling game one, Tyrese Haliburton hit Reggie Miller's choke celebration and the Pacers beat the Knicks. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were not the best versions of themselves. Aaron Nesmith played great, making a bunch of threes with such high stakes, but let's not pretend he was defended well by OG Anunoby. The Knicks are known to give up threes, while Boston couldn't capitalize, Indiana did. Game 2 is a must-win for the Knicks. Plus, Larry David cam for the Pacers' fourth quarter comeback!

Today's word of the day is ‘deflated' as in heartbreaking as in PTSD as in choke job as in the Knicks as in the Pacers. What a disaster. What a performance. Haliuburton and Nesmith and Reggie Miller. I was there. I saw it live. It was remarkable for both teams. (15:30) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won MVP last night. His first. It's the 7th straight international winner of the award! Wow. And now SGA can sign a MEGA deal. (24:10) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about NBC and the reported offer the company made for MLB rights. Hmm. (35:50) Review: The Way.

The Thunder beat the Timberwolves and all anyone wants to talk about are free throws. Here on Oddball we think everyone, including Chris Finch, needs to stop complaining. The concept of fouling isn't new. If this was a regular season game, would Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have gotten more calls? Anthony Edwards needs to step up and can get the T-wolves a win if he takes more shots. Michael Malone takes a dig at Nikola Jokic, but SGA is the real MVP. Plus, we play Hot Streak, reveal some never-before-seen photos of SGA, and discover Amin has a distant cousin who is a Russian NBA prospect! Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's word of the day is ‘rolling thunder' as in Oklahoma City as in SGA as in NBA Playoffs as in basketball. The Thunder crushed the Timberwolves in Game with a huge 2nd half. Stop shooting so many 3s! The Timberwolves were ice cold. SGA was red hot. Not a great recipe! (9:30) The Florida Panthers are GOOD. Road warriors. The Carolina Hurricanes have been so bad in the Conference Finals. (14:00) NPPOD. (22:45) Walker Buehler and Alex Cora were ejected in the 3rd inning yesterday after arguing with an ump. That's fine. It happens. But the comments after the game are what stand out by the ump. (35:30) Review: Bob Trevino Likes It. (42:40) Is MLB about to add even more reviews? On checked swings? Really?

The Conference Finals are here! Between SGA, Jalen Brunson, Haliburton, and Ant, which player do you want to see win their first NBA Championship? Hate 'em or love 'em, the Knicks are good, and that's good for the NBA. Haliburton is going to give Brunson a lot of work and the depth of the Pacers bench and scoring in bunches will hurt the Knicks. On Oddball we are loud with our support of the Knicks… but secretly we think the Pacers have this in the bag. The Thunder-Timberwolves series will be the first time we see Ant Edwards take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the playoffs... Can the young wolf knock off the MVP? The T-Wolves have flaws, but this series might be there for the taking. Can we trust Julius Randle? J-Dub vindicated himself after game 7, but Chet still has a lot to prove. Plus, people were so upset with Izzy's Cleveland rant that he decided to go on an apology tour. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Today's word of the day is ‘caveat emptor' as in buyer beware as in Juan Soto as in the Mets as in hustle as in the media. Let's talk about Juan Soto and what we've seen through 48 games so far in his Mets career. The hustle? Not quite there. The private plane to games? Horse hockey. The expectations? You signed that contract! (16:45) Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese conversation is in a gross place. We have turned what should be great basketball into nonsense.

Alex Caruso had the game of his lifetime guarding Joker, and SGA and the Thunder are looking like a championship contender.

Today's word of the day is ‘nerves' as in nervous as in collapse as in performance as in sweat. What am I talking about? Well, this weekend was full of nerves. Game 7s, PGA Championship final round. And we heard from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who could be the MVP, go out and be his best self and then after the game talked about how nervous he was. Nikola Jokic on the other hand was honest about his thoughts about this current Nuggets team. (16:30) The Florida Panthers smoked the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7. Woof. The Maple Leafs still haven't won a title since 1967! (20:40) Brandon Hyde was fired by the Baltimore Orioles. It came just 2 weeks after his GM, Mike Elias, gave him the kiss of death… a vote of confidence. (34:10) Review: Elton John - Never Too Late. (36:20) The Phillies are in some trouble.

Today's word of the day is ‘brilliant' as in basketball IQ as in Nikola Jokic as in the Denver Nuggets as in the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets got it done at home on Thursday night and it's all thanks to Nikola Jokic and his play. The game had so many fouls. So many runs of missed and made baskets. And now we're off to OKC on Sunday. MVP vs MVP. (12:00) NPPOD. (20:08) Juan Soto is returning to Yankee Stadium for the first time as a Met.
