About this episode
The episode discusses the NBA Finals with a focus on the Knicks' lead and the Thunder's elimination.
On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), the guys start the show by closing out the season for the Oklahoma City Thunder after their elimination in the Western Conference finals. What went wrong against the Spurs, the big financial decisions ahead of them this offseason and a disastrous game 7 for Chet Holmgren. Next, the duo dives into all things NBA Finals, as the Knicks have taken a 2-0 nothing lead. Why Karl Anthony Towns has been so impressive and the emotional toll of a difficult game 2 loss on the Spurs. Who needs to step up for San Antonio to get back into the mix and why depth again has been the key for the Knicks. Finally, another round of Immaculate Grid.
