The Boxscore Geeks Show

We discuss:

Even more Game of Thrones Finale with a little Babylon 5 and wrestling comparisons tied it.

We talk the All-NBA team and how we're happy Nikola Jokic and Steph Curry made the first squad but maybe didn't deserve it.

We also notice that Klay Thompson and Kemba Walker had no business making any All-NBA teams, but it's stupid that the fact Klay didn't and Kemba did can impact their salary.

For Economics fans, we talk the Agony of Defeat podcast, Reaganomics, and the Overton Window in relation to NBA worker rights.

We talk why we're happy the Raptors are advancing. The biggest reason being the $25 thirty to one betting slip Dre put on the Raptors to start the season.

We talk why the Bucks lost to the Raptors and how the Raptors are a favorite against the Warriors without Durant.

We also shout out Bill Buckner who doesn't deserve the blame for the 86 World Series and recently passed. Rest in peace.

We're back we talk:

Around the NBA:
- Magic Johnson was the Ned Stark of the NBA.
- The draft lottery failure this past season.
- Tobias Harris is going to be expensive!
- The Athletic will be covering the NBA more, great!
- Why Forbes is still bad.

Playoffs:
- Golden State and Portland, and how a 17 point lead isn't safe!
- Why staying the course after a successful season is a good plan, and Portland is doing that.
- How the 2016-2017 Warriors are the greatest team ever.
- Milwaukee / Toronto. Malcolm Brogdon is back, Brook Lopez made us look like fools, and we think it's all over. Right after we recorded this, the Raptors tied the series 2-2 ...

Game of Thrones:
- Aaron Rodgers gave his take on the season finale and it actually made us like it more!
- All sorts of thoughts on the show, tune in!

We talk the NBA Playoffs. Namely:

Milwaukee vs. Boston - ho-hum

Toronto vs. Philadelphia - a barnburner thanks to stars. We recorded this before Kawhi went Nova in game 5.

Denver vs. Portland - an amazing chance for Denver. Luckily, so far, they've delivered.

Golden State vs. Houston - It all comes down to health.

We talk Chris Yeh's Mental Samurai run too.

Finally, we spend a lot of time, a little under half the show on Game of Thrones. What can we say, we're fans!
