Geeks Can't Jump

Jamie’s dream of a “Cool Story Glenn” chant at the LAC vs GSW game does not come true, but that’s ok because NBA twitter beefs don’t need our help getting started.  We talk about the season’s first trade (yawn) and speculate on the Wizards’ chance at landing Durant in free agency. Also: the Spurs are a bit geeky, Tony makes a terrible, terrible mistake with google, and Kevin Love embarks on his own True Underdog Story Spurs HEB commercials for this season: http://allball.blogs.nba.com/2015/11/02/the-new-san-antonio-spurs-heb-commercials-are-here/ Basketball-Reference.com player bio for Evan “Don’t Google” Fournier: http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/f/fournev01.html Trust @bball_ref and don’t google Fournier.

Grantland.com was killed by ESPN last week, and Jamie does some grieving. We eventually talk about the excellent first week of NBA action and teams giving us some early season surprises. Steph Curry is amazing and ruined Tony’s week (which only adds to his awesomeness). Jamie plans to remotely engineer a chant at an NBA game and we talk about Week 1 fantasy results.   Links: www.grantland.com If you’ve never been here, do yourself a favor and go here and read anything in the archives or pick out a podcast.  The only regret you will have is that it is no longer with us.   Have suggestions for what the last place team’s punishment should be?

The 2015-16 NBA season has arrived!!! In all our excitement we discuss the opening night games and our early thoughts on the Atlanta Hawks. In sadder news, we talk about the recent passing of Flip Saunders. Also: Danny Granger cut from Detroit, possibly out of the league; NBA players get into the Halloween spirit, and we discuss our network’s Geeks Can’t Jump league draft results.   Links For other podcasts, articles, and more:  www.geekvsweek.com  Danny Granger, other NBA vets potentially out of league http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/saying_goodbye_to_the_old_guys_leaving_the_nba/s1_8276_19784935 Link to Geeks Can’t Jump yahoo league draft results: http://archive.fantasysports.yahoo.com/archive/nba/2015/32720/draftresults ESPN story on Flip Saunders’s death: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/13968302/minnesota-timberwolves-coach-flip-saunders-dies-cancer-age-60 Dirk and Westbrook Halloween photos: http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/page/instantawesome-NBAHalloween-1

We talk fantasy formats and strategies as the Geeks Can’t Jump league draft nears. Who needs Doc Brown or a TARDIS to travel back in time?  Not us! We go back to talk about last season’s MVP race and The Finals. We come back for a somber moment to discuss Lamar Odom’s health.  Then: Is it time to start distrusting The Process in Philly? And we talk about storylines to watch for throughout the NBA season.

Welcome! With a new podcast, some introductions are in order and some ice gets broken! And so, Jamie and Tony talk a little bit about how they got into watching NBA basketball and why basketball appeals to them as a sport and as an option for fantasy sports.  They also share their favorite all time NBA players and teams.  Also: Tony Allen Jedi robe night, a (very reluctant) discussion about Kobe, information about the Geeks Can’t Jump fantasy league, and what to expect over the next few episodes.

Our second episode! An NBA player sighted at New York Comic Con (NYCC)?
