The New York Knicks are a geek squad full of dork-ass poindexters, and never was that more apparent than during the final week of May. Naturally we had a great deal of Carmelo Anthony TMNT-related posts:

But he wasn't the only one going full-on fanboy. In an exclusive interview with P&T, nerd extraordinaire Robin Lopez announced that he will no longer be boycotting the CW show "The Flash."
@rolopez42 @DCComics @geoffjohns @Williamson_Josh are you a fan of the TV show at all?

@DCComics @geoffjohns @Williamson_Josh @ChinaJoeFlynn I will now that we have both Wallys. TV Flash strike has officially ended.

In more adult nerd fare, Jerian Grant appeared crushed by the ending to last week's "Game of Thrones".
Hold The Door!

Poor Hodor.
Grant also took the time to catch the Cavaliers in action, and came away impressed.
That's a nice play Cleveland keeps running. Tough to guard. Help has to come from the strong side

I don't know which particular play he was talking about, but by all means, Jeff Hornacek, let Jerian run it!
Langston Galloway made sure to bring a snack for the fourth quarter of Saturday's epic Thunder-Warriors tilt:

Most importantly, we have the delightful twitter pen pal relationship between Melo and Kristaps Porzingis. Melo started it off with a very random, very touching Tweet:

Kristaps retweeted it, and then added a nice birthday tribute to his veteran teammate:
Happy Birthday @carmeloanthony! pic.twitter.com/0ADkEXea8y

I love these guys.
