Show Notes
We all have some opinions on the most recent Game of Thrones episode "No One." Brian agrees with te AV's take.
Also, we do make plenty of NBA to Game of Thrones comparisons this episode. Brian starts it off with Adam Silver = Tommen Baratheon!
We discuss Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
ESPN analysts had a point on the effectiveness of the Cavs' shooting.
Kyrie had an effective FG% of 80.4%. Per @BenAlamarESPN, his shot quality was so tough that an avg player would shoot 45.5% on same shots.

I'm fully behind comparing player performance to average, especially in regards to shooting. An ESPN analyst once called me insane for doing it, but I'm glad they agree in this case.
We also talk why the idea that Silver rigging the playoffs makes no sense.
The NBA's TV $ is locked in. They don't get more for extending this series https://t.co/xndIdhbm9C

It is worth noting that it is possible it's legal for the NBA to push the direction of the playoffs.
We talk a little about NBA Finals MVPs. Patrick thinks Draymond Green is in the lead if the Warriors win. Of course, LeBron James will be the Cavs MVP if they win.
We talk some trade rumors but mainly focus on Jimmy Butler to the Wolves.
We end the show talking about soccer; Patrick is debating if he'll watch the NBA Finals or soccer tonight.
Shout Outs
