We're Going Tanking! with Jake Fischer

Drive and Dish NBA Podcast

Welcome back to another episode of the Drive & Dish NBA podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) & Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir). On this midweek episode, Kevin is joined by Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) from Bleacher Report to discuss his new book, "Built To Lose: How the NBA's Tanking Era Changed the League Forever." What caused Jake to take a deeper dive on tanking? Can the league fix it? What is getting lunch with Sam Hinkie like? All that plus we talk about what's gone wrong for the Clippers, and if we underrated Dallas. Kevin & Jake then end the show by paying tribute to Orlando Summer League, and why it should come back.
