Go Team Score Points

This might be the saddest episode yet. We break down the shocking Nuggets–Timberwolves series, where Denver somehow collapses against a depleted Minnesota squad, and ask the uncomfortable question: what just happened? Then it’s over to the East, where the Celtics blow a 3–1 lead and the playoffs continue to make zero sense. Along the way, we debate overreactions, questionable MVP takes, a bizarre new NBA draft proposal, and whether being a “real fan” is actually kind of miserable. It’s messy, it’s emotional, and honestly… nobody knows anything right now.#NBAPlayoffs #DenverNuggets #Timberwolves #BostonCeltics #NBATalk #BasketballPodcast #SportsChaos #NBADrama #Jokic #NBAAnalysis

This weekend episode of Go Team Score Points dives into the whirlwind career of David Roddy—from a multi-sport standout in Minnesota to Colorado State Rams star, and now an NBA journeyman navigating trades, two-way deals, and Exhibit 10 contracts. The hosts unpack just how chaotic his last few years have been, while also highlighting his connection with fans and love for the game. Then, in a new segment, “Irish Solves the Problem,” they take on NBA tanking—with hilariously underwhelming “incentives” inspired by real teacher rewards. It’s part basketball breakdown, part comedy, and fully unhinged in the best way.#NBA #DavidRoddy #NBAPodcast #Basketball #NBATrades #TwoWayContract #ColoradoState #NBAGLeague #SportsComedy #PodcastLife

This week on Go Team Score Points, we break down one of the strangest NBA games of the season: the Nuggets vs. Thunder matchup that looked important… until it very much wasn’t. What starts as excitement over a potential playoff-impact game quickly turns into a realization that half the players are missing, the stakes are questionable, and we may have just watched a glorified G League showdown.We also cover current NBA chaos, including the confusing state of Ja Morant’s value, the ever-growing list of bizarre injuries for Joel Embiid, and what’s going on with teams making last-minute playoff positioning decisions. Plus: fan appreciation night vibes, announcer moments, a brutal Lu Dort incident, and a growing list of questions we desperately want to ask an actual NBA player someday.Oh—and fair warning—this episode had a few technical difficulties, but honestly, it kind of adds to the chaos of the whole experience.#NBA #DenverNuggets #OKCThunder #JaMorant #JoelEmbiid #NBAPodcast #BasketballTalk #FanAppreciationNight #SportsPodcast #GoTeamScorePoints

This weekend episode of Go Team Score Points dives into the story of Bones Hyland—a player defined as much by resilience as by talent. From earning his nickname as a skinny kid in Delaware to going viral for dominating park games, Bones’ journey takes a devastating turn after a house fire in high school that claimed family members and nearly ended his basketball career.Despite a torn patellar tendon and doubts about his future, Bones fought his way back, fueled by community support and a deep sense of gratitude. His time at VCU Rams solidified that bond, showing how meaningful genuine care from a program can be.His NBA path—through the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and now the Minnesota Timberwolves—hasn’t been smooth, with limited playing time and tough transitions. But coaches and teammates consistently describe him the same way: joyful, grateful, and a positive presence.The episode wraps with a loose, chaotic (but fun) check-in on preseason predictions—MVP picks, Finals guesses, and a lot of second-guessing as the playoffs approach.#NBA #BonesHyland #BasketballStories #NBAPodcast #SportsPodcast #MinnesotaTimberwolves #DenverNuggets #VCU #NBAPlayoffs #SportsTalk

This week on Go Team Score Points, we dive into NBA expansion rumors—are Las Vegas and Seattle really getting teams, or is this just a money play? We break down what Adam Silver actually said, why conference balance could get messy, and what expansion means for the league’s future.Then we recap the Philadelphia 76ers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game, where the Sixers shockingly dominate behind a standout performance from Dominic Barlow. We also talk Anthony Edwards’ inconsistency, Joel Embiid’s impact, and why the East playoff picture feels way more chaotic than expected.Plus: Luka injury drama, the weird reality of the 65-game rule, a chaotic courtside drink spill, and the phrase “circus shot” officially enters the vocabulary.#NBA #NBAPodcast #76ers #Timberwolves #NBANews #NBARumors #BasketballTalk #NBAExpansion #JoelEmbiid #AnthonyEdwards #LukaDoncic #SportsPodcast

This week’s Go Team Score Points weekend episode takes a different turn—diving into a “Where Are They Now?” breakdown of players from a 1997 Bulls vs. Pistons matchup. From high school coaches and media analysts to business owners, family legacies, and a few heartbreaking stories, the episode uncovers the wildly different paths these former NBA players have taken. Along the way, there’s a shocking true-crime mystery involving Bison Dele that completely shifts the tone. The episode wraps with a chaotic and hilarious 1982 NBA trivia game—featuring Magic, Moses Malone, short shorts, and a lot of guessing.#NBA #ChicagoBulls #DetroitPistons #MichaelJordan #WhereAreTheyNow #NBATrivia #BasketballHistory #SportsPodcast #NBAHistory #90sBasketball #80sNBA #PodcastClips #SportsTalk #BisonDele #GrantHill

This episode of Go Team Score Points mixes present-day NBA drama with a nostalgic trip back to 1997. The hosts break down current events, including Cade Cunningham’s scary collapsed lung situation, Victor Wembanyama’s cinematic game-winner, and Luka Dončić’s red-hot scoring run amid personal turmoil.

Along the way, they explore how different (or not so different) 90s basketball feels, debate MVP chaos, and close with their signature MVP/LVP picks, biggest takeaways, and funniest confusions.#NBA #BasketballPodcast #MichaelJordan #LukaDoncic #CadeCunningham #Wembanyama #NBATalk #90sBasketball #ChicagoBulls #DetroitPistons #NBACurrentEvents #SportsPodcast

Then things spiral (in a good way): a heated GOAT debate (Jordan vs. LeBron), a chaotic sitcom bracket, and an all-time ridiculous “Meat Madness” bracket featuring breakfast sausage, pulled pork, and some very questionable decisions. It’s part basketball history, part debate show, part comedy chaos.#NBA #TyLue #AllenIverson #NBAPodcast #BasketballTalk #GOATDebate #MichaelJordan #LeBronJames #SportsPodcast #Clippers #NBACoaches #SitcomBracket #MarchMadness #FoodBracket #PulledPork #PodcastClips

This episode dives into one of the wildest scoring nights in recent NBA memory as Bam Adebayo drops 83 points—and the hosts are not here for the criticism. They break down why the backlash makes no sense, challenge the unwritten “respect the record” rules, and argue greatness should never come with a cap.Then it’s all about the Los Angeles Clippers absolutely torching the Minnesota Timberwolves in a chaotic, high-scoring game. Kawhi Leonard goes full Terminator mode, the Clippers go wire-to-wire, and the bench celebrations hit peak comedy.Along the way: announcer gems, MVP/LVP chaos (including a towel legend), confusion about “.500,” and a surprisingly real debate—can Victor Wembanyama actually reach Nikola Jokic level?It’s messy, funny, and somehow still insightful—just how sports should be.#NBA #BamAdebayo #KawhiLeonard #Clippers #Timberwolves #NBAPodcast #BasketballTalk #NBADebate #Wemby #Jokic #SportsPodcast #GoTeamScorePoints

In this weekend episode of Go Team Score Points, the hosts dive into the unusual career path of Spurs play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey—from announcing video games as a kid to landing internships with the Patriots and Celtics and eventually calling games for Victor Wembanyama.

This week on Go Team Score Points, we dive into the unexpected story of Bruce Brown — NBA champion, professional team-hopper, and surprisingly devoted cowboy-culture enthusiast. From growing up near Boston to rocking custom cowboy hats and boots through the NBA tunnel, Brown’s journey is as unusual as it is entertaining. Then we play one of our best games yet: NBA Pop Culture Awards. Which team wins the “Waterworld Award” for the biggest expensive flop? Who gets the “Group Project Award” for doing all the work? And why do Nikola Jokić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander feel like this season’s Barbenheimer debate? It’s NBA analysis mixed with chaos, jokes, and questionable awards.#NBA #BruceBrown #NikolaJokic #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #NBAPodcast #BasketballPodcast #DenverNuggets #NBATalk #SportsPodcast #NBATwitter #BasketballFans

This week on Go Team Score Points, we break down a surprisingly fun showdown between the Denver Nuggets and the Boston Celtics — complete with a Jamal Murray illness scare, a 15–0 Nuggets run, and one more ridiculous falling-away dagger from Nikola Jokić.We dig into the messy MVP conversation: Is the 65-game rule creating an “MVP by default” situation? What happens if guys like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Dončić, or even Cade Cunningham miss the cutoff? And is that actually a problem for the league?We also unpack Colorado’s bipartisan sports gambling bill aimed at curbing betting habits — limiting credit cards, deposits, ads, and push notifications from companies like DraftKings and FanDuel. Would it help… or just push gamblers offshore?Plus:The Jokic vs. OKC tension (hello calculated instigation).Should NBA fans unionize?Hard cap debates and whether dynasties are better for the league.Announcer chaos with Jay Bilas (yes, the lawyer who once defended a Barney look-alike in court).“That jumper is wet.”Red Panda = MVP.We end with MVP/LVP picks, what we learned (line up the seams!), and whether the Celtics’ postseason ceiling might be lower than we thought.It’s chaotic, it’s thoughtful, and somehow it all makes sense.#NBA #DenverNuggets #BostonCeltics #NikolaJokic #NBAMVP #SportsBetting #FanDuel #DraftKings #NBAPodcast #BasketballTalk #RedPanda #LoadManagement

This week on Go Team Score Points, we dive into the delightful chaos of the Oklahoma City Thunder having not one but TWO Jalen Williamses drafted on the same night.We break down the difference between Jay Will (Arkansas Razorback, TikTok enthusiast, and the NBA’s first Vietnamese player) and J-Dub, plus the incredible draft night moment that had everyone cheering for the wrong Jalen first. We also talk family legacy, refugee stories, and why the Thunder might be the most fun team in the league.Then things spiral (in the best way) as we uncover just how many current NBA brothers are in the league — including:The Ball brothers: Lonzo Ball & LaMelo BallThe Curry brothers: Stephen Curry & Seth CurryThe Holiday brothers led by Jrue HolidayThe Lopez twins: Brook Lopez & Robin LopezThe Wagner brothers: Franz Wagner & Moritz WagnerThe Murray twins: Keegan Murray & Kris MurrayThe Mobleys: Evan Mobley & Isaiah Mobley(There are TWELVE sets. Genetics is undefeated.)And of course, we close with a chaotic round of “Pick Two,” where we draft NBA players and random personalities to:Compete on The Amazing RaceTeach AI to seniorsBreak up with someone via CameoTrain for your ex’s weddingHandle parent-teacher conferencesTeach your kid to drive in rural OhioFeaturing surprise picks like Tom Cruise, Barack Obama, Judge Judy, Ghost Kobe, and a waitress from IHOP who calls you “hon.”It’s informative. It’s unhinged. It might be our best weekend episode yet.

We’re back from vacation and the NBA is… in a weird place. In this episode of Go Team Score Points, we dive into the NBA All-Star Game fallout — is the dunk contest officially cooked? Should Damian Lillard just own the three-point contest forever? And is Victor Wembanyama the competitive chaos agent the league desperately needs?Then we get into the big conversation: tanking. Is it ruining the NBA… or just part of the system? We debate draft incentives, fan boycotts, and whether a “fan union” should exist.Game recap: Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Brooklyn Nets — a matchup that perfectly captures the contender vs. tanking divide. Reviews that take forever, a herky-jerky performance, mascot analysis (Rumble the Bison??), and a strong showing from Jared McCain.Plus:The sad saga of Hunter TysonKevin Durant and the alleged burner account dramaWhy the kiss cam continues to be our league-wide LVPWe wrap with MVPs, announcer quotes, and the most confusing Thunder roster situation imaginable: two Jalen Williamses.It’s chaos.

This week’s Weekend Episode of Go Team Score Points, we dive into the unbelievable rise of Duncan Robinson — from a 4-person sixth grade class in New Hampshire to breaking NBA three-point records and signing massive contracts.Undrafted. Division III. Two-way contract. Fastest to 1,000 threes. The trajectory is wild.Then we play a chaotic round of NBA-themed Would You Rather — Draymond at your kid’s game? Viral dunk or viral turnover? Oklahoma City for five years if it guarantees LA?It’s basketball, life philosophy, and questionable trade logic all in one episode.#NBA #DuncanRobinson #NBAPodcast #BasketballLife #MiamiHeat #DetroitPistons #NBATalk #SportsPodcast #WouldYouRather #NBATrades

The NBA makes absolutely no sense—and we kind of love it. This week on Go Team Score Points, we break down the wild trade deadline, from Jared McCain landing in Oklahoma City to James Harden, Zubac, and the most confusing conditional draft pick of all time. We talk about the very real human side of getting traded, why the Wizards beating the Pistons broke our brains, and what it’s like watching a basketball game where someone literally loses a shoe. Plus: clear path fouls explained, announcer quotes that made us laugh, ugly City Edition jerseys, and why the Bulls doing nothing is somehow the most baffling move of all.#NBA#NBATradeDeadline#GoTeamScorePoints#NBAPodcast#BasketballPodcast#Wizards#Pistons#Thunder#NBATwitter#SportsPodcast#BasketballCulture#NBAChaos

One of the hosts is battling their own “flu game” while the show powers through a packed week of NBA chaos. We break down Jimmy Butler’s devastating injury and what it could mean for the twilight of his career, debate whether the Warriors’ two-timeline plan was ever realistic, and pause to appreciate Kevin Durant passing Dirk Nowitzki on the all-time scoring list (while somehow still being underrated). Then we head to Salt Lake City for Jazz–Spurs, where Wemby does Wemby things, announcers say “abracadabra” on air, and a very shady MLM sponsorship sends us down a rabbit hole. Plus: Giannis trade tension, Kyle Lowry love from Toronto, an emergency bench player becoming a hero, and why multi-level marketing schemes might be the real LVP of the week.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBApodcast #FluGame #JimmyButler #KevinDurant #Wembanyama #JazzVsSpurs #NBACurrentEvents #BasketballCulture #MLMDrama #NBAAnnouncers #SportsPodcast

In this weekend “Weep Episode” of Go Team Score Points, we break down one of the NBA’s quietest surprises: Celtics center Nemias Queta. From growing up in Portugal and following his sister into basketball, to becoming the first Portuguese player ever drafted into the NBA, Queta’s journey is way more interesting than you think. We talk Utah State, EuroBasket dominance, why Celtics fans suddenly care about their bigs again, and how Queta became exactly what Boston needed.Then we bring back one of our favorite games: Best Man for the Job. Who should handle a confrontation with your landlord? Talk you out of texting your ex? Plan a bachelor party on a tight budget? Watch your dog with zero instructions? The answers range from deeply practical to completely unhinged, featuring Steven Adams, Jokic, Derek White, Ja Morant, mascots, coaches, and more. Basketball logic meets real-life chaos — it’s the perfect weekend distraction.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBApodcast #NemiasQueta #BostonCeltics #NBADeepDive #BasketballPodcast #EuroBasket #BestManForTheJob #NBAPlayers #SportsComedy #WeekendPodcast

This week on Go Team Score Points, we tackle a little bit of everything: a sprawling NCAA points-shaving scandal with international roots, a genuinely heartwarming Kyle Lowry moment in Toronto, and why the Nuggets might actually be terrifying even without Nikola Jokić. We break down Nuggets vs. Pelicans from New Orleans (with mostly empty seats and surprisingly great announcers), marvel at Peyton Watson’s rise, wonder how NBA moving expenses really work, cringe at in-arena fan cams, and ask the eternal question: how are the Nuggets doing this? Plus, MVP/LVP, what we learned, and the least confusing week we’ve had in a while.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBAPodcast #Nuggets #Pelicans #PeytonWatson #KyleLowry #NBACurrentEvents #CollegeBasketball #PointShaving #NBAAnnouncers #Jokic #ZionWilliamson #BasketballPodcast

It’s the weekend episode of Go Team Score Points, where sports are a coping mechanism and vibes matter more than wins and losses. This week, we deep-dive into Nuggets second-shift legend Hunter Tyson: small-town roots, Clemson dreams, a chaotic draft night, and why he always looks so excited to get subbed in. Then we debut an instant-classic game: NBA Player, Florida Man, or Mascot? — featuring Kim Jong Un visits, Batman pajamas, accordions at halftime, and mascots behaving very badly. Somehow we learn a lot, laugh a lot, and absolutely do not fix the news.#GoTeamScorePoints #HunterTyson #DenverNuggets #NBAPodcast #BasketballPodcast #NBADeepDive #SecondUnitKing #FloridaMan #NBAMascots #SportsComedy #WeepEpisode #WeekendEpisode

The Nuggets beat the Celtics in Boston, Trae Young gets traded, and somehow we watched an entire basketball game without falling apart.In this episode of Go Team Score Points, we break down the Nuggets–Celtics matchup, talk about Denver winning games without Jokic, debate whether Michael Malone accidentally unlocked player development, and try to understand what the Hawks and Wizards are doing with the Trae Young trade.Along the way, we discuss bad City Edition jerseys, announcers who love their teams too much, internet comments that should’ve stayed drafts, and the eternal mystery of what exactly a “big” is in basketball.It’s NBA analysis, but from the perspective of people who are still learning—and not pretending otherwise.#NBA #Nuggets #Celtics #TraeYoung #NBATrades#BasketballPodcast

Watching the Cavs–Suns game felt less like a neutral broadcast and more like two proud parents cheering from the stands. Brad Daugherty and John Michael talked about the Cavs with pure affection, even when things got sloppy—like Merrill passing the ball directly to a Suns player. Meanwhile, Phoenix’s offense looked brutal: one guy tries, loses it, another guy tries, loses it, kick it out for a three… brick. Eventually the Cavs grab it, push it to Mobley, and score. The announcers called it “the intensity of the Cavs,” but let’s be honest—this wasn’t intensity. The Suns were just bad. Even a self-proclaimed basketball novice could see it.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBAPodcast #Cavs #Suns #BadBasketball #HomerAnnouncers #BrickCity #NBAWatchParty

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

This week on Go Team Score Points, Irish and Sam do what they do best: mostly avoid talking about the Bucks–Celtics game while accidentally covering half the NBA. They break down the NBA Cup semifinals, Wembanyama’s electric return, and why Spurs–Thunder felt like a playoff game (until the fouls ruined everything). They get nerdy about free throws, the bonus, and whether fouling is actually good now, react to an internet comment, and spiral into a surprisingly serious debate about why NBA paint isn’t sponsored yet. Plus: announcer jargon, microwave players, MVP/LVP picks, and one very confusing stolen championship ring.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBACup #Wembanyama #SpursVsThunder #BucksCeltics #NBAFreeThrows #BasketballNerds #NBAPodcast #SportsPodcast #NBAAnnouncers

This week’s Friday episode of Go Team Score Points might actually be our best yet. Irish and Sam dig into the unlikely rise of Jaime Jaquez Jr., from his deep UCLA roots and Mexican American basketball lineage to the mysterious magic of Heat Culture (yes, including the alleged body fat rule). Along the way, we get Disney villain vibes, a legendary draft-night-meets-girlfriend story involving tequila and pizza, and a discussion of why Miami keeps finding that guy late in the draft.Then, fully embracing the holiday spirit, we play a Christmas game straight out of the 1988 Sears catalog—assigning hilariously specific gifts to NBA stars, coaches, and teams. From Steve Ballmer’s Clippers to Jokic’s love of beef, LeBron’s VHS era, and Wemby’s mini hoop, it’s festive, absurd, and deeply on-brand for this show. Merry Christmas, NBA.#GoTeamScorePoints #NBApodcast #JaimeJaquezJr #HeatCulture #NBAMasculinity #NBAChristmas #BasketballPodcast #NBATrivia #NBAStories #SportsComedy #1988SearsCatalog #NBAGifts #MiamiHeat

In this week’s episode of Go Team Score Points, Irish dives into the unexpectedly delightful (and occasionally chaotic) life story of Grant Williams—from NASA-engineer mom to chess-ranking prodigy to surprising on-court controversies. Then Sam and Irish hand out their quarter-season NBA awards: MVPs, biggest disappointments, worst courts, best jerseys, most confusing crushes, and more. Plus, the debut of our new segment idea: “No One Listens to Me,” where YOU can rant on our show for five minutes. It’s our best episode yet.#NBA #NBAPodcast #GrantWilliams #GoTeamScorePoints #BasketballPodcast #NBAAwards #QuarterSeasonAwards #PodcastLife #BasketballFans #SportsPodcast

In this episode, Irish and Sam break down the Bulls–Hornets NBA Cup game—yes, the one Irish randomly chose after bumping into her birthday twin Eddie in a Hong Kong elevator. We cover current NBA events (Thunder chasing history, Wizards chasing misery, Steph’s leg contusion, slippery courts, and whether the Nuggets’ seeding is doomed by Aaron Gordon’s injury). Irish also learns about Del Curry, Grant Williams' unexpectedly amazing guest-commentator cameo, and that Knueppel is actually good. It’s our best episode yet. #NBA #NBAPodcast #GoTeamScorePoints #Bulls #Hornets #NBACup #BasketballPodcast #Thunder #Nuggets #SportsTalk #FunnyPodcast #BasketballBeginners

Then the fun begins — Irish challenges Sam to guess top-NBA-ever and hottest-current-NBA players from a Ranker list. It’s part news-recap, part chaos, and 100% podcast-style.

This week’s Friday episode of Go Team Score Points goes full chaos in the best way. Irish introduces us to DaRon Holmes II — his Arizona roots, his golden doodle named Red Velvet, his incredible positivity after tearing his Achilles, and the twist ending: he’s not a scrappy underdog… he’s an 8-figure first-round pick. Then we debut our hardest game yet: Brought to You By, where we assign increasingly ridiculous sponsors to every moment in an NBA game. From Sisyphus timeouts to Tesla away teams to tip-offs brought to you by a moil, this one gets delightfully unhinged.#NBA #DaRonHolmes #DenverNuggets #NBARookies #BasketballPodcast #GoTeamScorePoints #NBADraft #SportsPodcast #NBAFun #HoopsHumor

The hosts also crown their MVPs (spoiler: Chick Hearn takes home hardware) and dream about having Spencer Jones as their first NBA-adjacent guest.🎧 Tune in for NBA trivia, storytelling, and good vibes — all in 45 minutes or less!#NBApodcast #GoTeamScorePoints #ChickHearn #SpencerJones #DenverNuggets #NBALegends #BasketballHistory #NBASlang #NBALanguage #BasketballPodcast #NBATalk #SportsComedy
