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.
