Editor’s Note: Welcome to the twelfth episode of Coast 2 Coast, the NBA podcast right here at Last Word On Pro Basketball. As always, LWOPB is committed to bringing you the very best in basketball news, analysis, and commentary. In putting together this podcast, we continue to stay committed to our high standards. Enjoy the show.
In this episode, Austin and Dante consider some of the major storylines from the first quarter of the NBA season. They talk about the implications of Russell Westbrook averaging a triple-double on ‘only’ an above average team, and how he compares to Oscar Robertson. Later, the two discuss rising and falling teams, especially around the dominant Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Following that conversation, they talk about the teams racing towards the bottom for the number one draft pick with the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers. They also talk about the Mike Conley injury and what it means for the Memphis Grizzlies. They finish this week’s pod by running through some of the impressive rookies, with an extended conversation about the ever-interesting Joel Embiid.
