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.

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.

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.

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.

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
