Tony Catalayud joins Amin for a packed Monday episode of Oddball. The refs stole game 4 from the Pistons and delivered it to the Knicks, but Amin is not mad. Plus, who won the KAT trade? JJ ran LeBron and the Lakers into the ground, and now Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and the rest of the Timberwolves are one game away from eliminating the King. We have no idea where the Hawkeye camera is located, but we do know where the Heat are headed: home! Also, we peer into Milwaukee's dark future after Damian Lillard's injury, and explain why Jimmy returning tonight for the Warriors might not be such a good idea.

Steph and Jokic gave us so much to talk about last night, Amin and Izzy don't even know where to start!

Does Russell Westbrook's latest gaffe spell doom for Denver, or will Brodie have his redemption in the playoffs?
