Jamal Murray's moment, NBA resumes play, Goodbye to Luka and Dame / Ben Golliver and Michael Pina open by gushing
Jamal Murray's moment, NBA resumes play, Goodbye to Luka and Dame / Ben Golliver and Michael Pina open by gushing over Jamal Murray's latest scoring explosion and poignant post-game interview. What does Murray's playoff rise say about the Nuggets' pecking order and the importance of big men in the NBA's evolving style? Where does Murry rank among 23-and-under talents? Will his historic scoring duel with Donovan Mitchell lead to bubble asterisk talk? From there, Ben and Michael shift gears to recap the Bucks' protest and the NBA's return. Did the players extract enough in their negotiations with the owners? Did the protest prove its point? The guys close with farewells to Luka Doncic's Dallas Mavericks and Damian Lillard's Portland Trail Blazers. How did the Lakers turn their series around to eliminate the Blazers and what are the next steps on Doncic's rise to world domination? - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

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.

Surging Raptors, Damian Lillard's outrage, All-Star mailbag / On today's episode, Ben Golliver and Michael Pina recover from the NBA
Surging Raptors, Damian Lillard's outrage, All-Star mailbag / On today's episode, Ben Golliver and Michael Pina recover from the NBA trade deadline by catching their breath before the upcoming craziness of All-Star Weekend. They start with a deep dive into the Toronto Raptors, who have won 14 straight entering Monday. What's driving the Raptors' success and why are they such an intriguing threat to the Bucks? From there, they analyze Damian Lillard's complaints about the officials and the NBA's stunning decision not to pushing Portland for its vociferous complaining. To close, Ben and Michael take questions from the Open Floor Globe. How many All-Star starters throughout history have been worse than Trae Young? Should the All-Star rosters be expanded? Is Gersson Rosas the Messiah in Minnesota? Why does one San Diego chef always think about Kobe Bryant whenever he remembers slicing off his finger in a cooking accident? - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
