Gearing Up For NBA Bubble Action / Welcome back to another Coronavirus episode of the Drive & Dish NBA podcast.
Gearing Up For NBA Bubble Action / Welcome back to another Coronavirus episode of the Drive & Dish NBA podcast. Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir) is off this week, so Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) is joined by Lakeland Magic play by play announcer Nick Gryniewicz (@GetNickG) and Sam B. Albuquerque (@SamBAlbuquerque), host of the Take a Left at Albuquerque podcast. As scrimmages get underway, the guys talk Zion Williamson leaving the bubble until further notice. If he’s not around, do the Pelicans have a shot at stealing the 8 seed? The trio also discusses Portland finally being healthy, and why they could be dangerous at this time of year. Next, the guys discuss Brooklyn’s roster being devastated by Coronavirus and injuries. Is there anything worth watching with the Nets, and how can they use this time to their advantage. The guys then take a quick break, and discuss Nick planning his wedding during the pandemic, and how comfortable we feel with traveling at this point. Is there still hope for this year? Kevin then puts on his homer hat, and discusses why Ben Simmons moving to the 4 may be the long awaited answer the Sixers have been looking for. Is there enough shooting for them to shake (Milton) up the East? Last but not least, the three take another look at NBA muscle watch, as Mo Bamba has gained some weight. Is there any hope for his long term outlook in Orlando, plus how long should you give prospects before officially calling them a bust? Leave us a review on iTunes and we will read them on the podcast. You also can check out the podcast on Stitcher, TuneIn, Spotify & PlayerFM.

Remember that NBA move? Plus, Florida's coronavirus spike / Ben Golliver and Michael Pina open by going back to review some of the NBA's minor transactions from February and March before the shutdown. Consider this "Who he play for?" Open Floor style. Who signed Reggie Jackson? Michael Kidd-Gilchrist? Joakim Noah? Jeff Green? Markieff Morris? They debate whether any of those moves will be viewed in a new light given the NBA's Orlando bubble plan and possible player withdrawals. From there, they pivot to questions from the Open Floor Globe. How concerned should the NBA be about Florida's spike in coronavirus cases? Does the NBA have enough schedule flexibility to handle a wider outbreak in Orlando or would a forfeit be in order? Would the NBA consider signing up its players for vaccine trials? Is it time to bust myths like "the team with the best player always wins the series"? - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

DJ Augustin on surviving Hurricane Katrina, the trade deadline and NBA competition for his spot / Orlando Magic DJ Augustin, listed at 5'11" and 183 pounds, is in his 12th NBA season. DJ and Ric discuss how being displaced by Hurricane Katrina shaped DJ's perspective on life at an early age, how he handles mentoring young point guards brought in to take his job and what it was like to be constantly mentioned in trade rumors early in his career. Note: this conversation took place prior to the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant, which is why there is no mention of it.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

State Of The NBA To Start 2020. / Welcome back to the first post-Christmas edition of the Drive & Dish NBA podcast. Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir) is off this week, so Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) is joined by Chris Crawford (@ESPN580CC) & Sam B. Albuquerque (@SamBAlbuquerque), hosts of “The Fan Zone” on ESPN 580 Orlando. The guys immediately jump into hoops, as Sam explains why he’s lower on Denver than other contenders, while Kevin & Chris argue that the Nuggets still are real contenders to win the final. Chris also explains why he thinks Denver should shorten their rotation. After that, the guys recap the battle of LA, as Sam explains his concerns about his Lakers, and why depth could hurt them against the Clippers. Kevin then explains why he still thinks that the Clippers are the favorites to come out of the West. The guys then move east, as they break down Milwaukee’s blowout loss to the Sixers on Christmas. Kevin explains he’s flustered following that game, and why this really shouldn’t be that big of a concern for the Bucks. Chris then argues that people are sleeping on Boston, across the league, as he feels they are true contenders in the Eastern Conference. The guys then have a spirited debate over who’s a bigger rival for Boston, Philadelphia or New York, not just now, but historically. That leads to a revisiting of the flex option for Christmas, as Sam argues why they just should have a rivalry game on Christmas, regardless of how good the teams actually are. Plus who is the top 5 players that we’d least like to get in a fight with, the guy's debate who will have the most titles at the end of the 2020’s. Leave us a review on iTunes & we’ll read them on the podcast. We’re also on Google Play, Stitcher, PlayerFM, Spreaker & Spotify. Watch the podcast on YouTube.
