Bleacher Report is back with a new edition of their NBA series Game of Zones. It is an NBA parody and satire series based on HBO's hit TV show Game of Thrones.

The episode came just in time for the NBA All-Star break — to the delight of C.J. McCollum. You can watch it here:

This episode takes us back to last August when the Cleveland Cavaliers received a demoralizing trade request from Kyrie Irving just as the Cavs recovered from a 5-game NBA Finals defeat last June. In the video, LeBron James receives a letter from Irving after his departure in which he explains his reasons to leave and makes an allusion to other offseason movers like Victor Oladipo, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul.

Six months later, Isaiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye, and Jae Crowder are waiting for a “meeting” with James. All of a sudden, a pregnant raven appears in the room. It represented these players being traded away from the Cavs before the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Wade hilariously screams, “oh no, Woj bomb!” in reference to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski's breaking news on the Cavs making all these moves mere minutes before the deadline.

The scene is a nod to Game of Thrones character Cersei Lannister's use of the wildfire to burn down, well, everyone.

This is the 18th episode overall since the series first started in 2014. There were two episodes in season one, three episodes in season two, three episodes in season three plus four short bonus scenes, eight episodes in season four, and now this 2018 All-Star special, which appears to be the first episode from season five.
