New Year, New Injuries, Same Chaos: Nuggets Panic, Cavs Optimism & Swashbuckling Cavaliers

Happy 2026! In the first Go Team Score Points episode of the year, Irish and Sam catch up on NBA chaos after a brief break. They break down the Cavaliers–Suns New Year’s Eve game, panic (and cautiously optimistically cope) over the Nuggets’ injury situation, and debate whether seeding even matters anymore. Along the way, they dig into Jokic’s MVP eligibility, the 65-game rule, load management, Spurs weirdly owning the Thunder, Giannis dunking his way into a Bulls beef, and why everyone in the NBA seemed ready to fight over the holidays. Plus: Dylan Brooks as a basketball troll, Serena Winters earning MVP status without missing a beat, Sir CC’s baffling winter outfit, and a spirited defense of swashbuckling Cavaliers.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBA #NBACurrentEvents #Cavs #Suns #Nuggets #Jokic #MVPDiscussion #Spurs #Giannis #NBADrama #BasketballPodcast #NewYearNBA #LoadManagement
