Where We at Out West & Justin Takes Vegas

On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), the guys start the show by discussing Justin's trip to Las Vegas and his bet on the Celtics to win the title, just before Jayson Tatum's return. Some initial thoughts from Tatum's return and if the Celtics are favorites now. Plus a quick detour in Warm Up Jumpers into the best offensive/defensive ratings currently, the state of Carolina sports and pay homage to a Philly advertising radio legend. Next, the duo heads out West to take inventory on where they are at with the contenders with 20 games to go. Denver has struggled amid Jokic's return and the guys debate if the Nuggets can turn it on. They also discuss the surging Timberwolves, OKC maintaining their #1 seed and the Spurs looking like true finals contenders. Are the Rockets and Lakers a factor at all? In Who's Ballin Who's Fallin, Jared McCain's hot start in OKC (and Kevin ranting about the Sixers being inept), the Knicks hang 142 on the Nuggets, Dillon Brooks gets arrested, and a look at the tank race. Finally, another round of Immaculate Grid. Listen to the show wherever you get your podcasts and watch the show on YouTube!
