    MVP by Default? Nuggets vs. Celtics, Gambling Legislation Drama & Red Panda Steals the Show

    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

    Two Jalen Williamses, 12 Sets of NBA Brothers & The Most Unhinged Draft Game Yet

    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 Ball The Curry brothers: Stephen Curry & Seth Curry The Holiday brothers led by Jrue Holiday The Lopez twins: Brook Lopez & Robin Lopez The Wagner brothers: Franz Wagner & Moritz Wagner The Murray twins: Keegan Murray & Kris Murray The 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 Race Teach AI to seniors Break up with someone via Cameo Train for your ex’s wedding Handle parent-teacher conferences Teach your kid to drive in rural Ohio Featuring 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.
