On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), the guys start the show by previewing the NBA draft lottery. Which teams could jump up and which teams could instantly make some noise with a higher pick? Then, the guys look back at the teams eliminated so far in the first round of the NBA playoffs and rate their level of despair. It comes as the Magic fire Jamahl Mosley as head coach following their 3-1 collapse to the Pistons. Are they at the top of the despair meter? Then, a look at the second round series. The Sixers are getting smoked by the Knicks, while the Pistons have continued their positive momentum from the first round. Out West, the Thunder look like champs while the Spurs bounce back after a game one letdown. Are these series largely over? Finally, the guys bounce back in another round of Immaculate Grid.
