  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) & Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir). We started back in 2014 as a way to discuss our favorite league like we would whenever we hung out outside of work. Two cities, and a couple of radio jobs later, here we are. We strive to give you the best in everything NBA both on and off the court on a weekly basis and keep it light and fun, the way basketball is supposed to be. Honestly, which league is more fun than the NBA right now? Our goal is to make you feel like you’re sitting on the couch, at the barbershop, or at a barstool with us. We cover the league year-round from opening night in October, all the way through the NBA Finals in June. If that’s not enough, we keep going in the summer for the NBA draft, NBA summer league & free agency. Segments include Who’s Ballin, Who’s Fallin, our NBA version of the stock market where we tell you what’s trending up, and what’s trending down each week. We’ve also got Hot Takes from Reddit, where we bring you the spiciest and most comical takes from NBA Reddit each week. You also will hear the best in NBA guests throughout the season and all summer long. Like we said earlier though, the show is all about fun, because if you’re not having fun, why do something right

  • Second Round Shenanigans & Wemby's ROY

    Second Round Shenanigans & Wemby's ROY
    May 7 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) & Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir). Justin is off this week, so Kevin is joined by Osceola Magic play-by-play voice Nick Gryniewicz (@GetNickG) to dive into the second round of the NBA playoffs. First though the guys discuss Wemby winning Rookie of the Year & what the Spurs need to do to maximize his ceiling over the next few years. Then the pair goes out West to first start with the heavyweight fight between Denver & Minnesota. Why both believe whoever wins this series will be the eventual champion & how Minnesota can slow down Denver's 4th quarter efficiency. In Mavericks vs. Thunder the guys debate if the Thunder can pass their biggest test so far and why Dallas has been so lethal in the second half. Out East, another 90's esque matchup with the Knicks & Pacers. Who has enough firepower? Finally, can the Cavaliers give the Celtics any sort of trouble now that KP is out? The guys also take a look at the first-round eliminated teams and debate their levels of despair with each. Listen to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts & watch the podcast on YouTube!

    Apr 27 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) & Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir). The guys start Warm Up Jumpers with a handful of awards including Tyrese Maxey winning Most Improved Player, Stephen Curry winning Clutch Player of the Year & Naz Reid winning 6th Man of the Year. The duo then starts with some first round discussion in the Eastern Conference. An, ahem, chippy series between the Sixers & the Knicks to say the least. Can the Sixers win game 4 and put the pressure back on the Knicks? Are the Bucks sunk without Giannis? How much pressure is on the Celtics after their loss to the Heat in game 2? Orlando Magic? Woaaaaaaaaaah. In Who's Ballin Who's Fallin the guys discuss Zach Edey going pro & Kely Oubre's lack of luck regarding transportation. Finally out West, is there any hope for the Lakers? How the Timberwolves have been able to flip the script on the Suns from the regular season & some early thoughs on Mavs/Clippers & Thunder/Pels.
