Golden State Warriors talk with Sean Carroll

Hello, hello, hello!   We had an absolute blast in this episode as we got to chat with Nugg Love site expert and one half of The Deep Two NBA podcast...Sean Carroll!!    We start things off by asking Sean how he got into the NBA and writing about it. Then some good Australian, and Canadian, Men's National team talk. Sean tells us why/how he picked GSW as his NBA team to watch *disclaimer, he started watching them before the dynasty ;)*. He tells us if he thought GSW would be this good back in the offseason, gives us a breakdown of the roster construction, and who has surprised him. We discuss Klay Thompson's return, how he looks overall, if he can return to pre-injury Klay, and how he fits with this new roster. We then chat some Steph Curry and his recent struggles. And oh, look at this, some Andrew Wiggins talk, and if he can realistically make the all-star game. We then dive into the depth of this squad, who will be the 8-9 person rotation in the playoffs, and ask Sean: are the dubs finals bound? Plus, some GSW trivia to end things off!   You can follow Sean on Twitter, @SeanCarrollNBA and check out his and co-host Dante's pod, The Deep Two (@TheDeepTwoNBA) where they chat all things NBA...as well as their site (The Deep Two dot com...it's really that simple!) where you can find in-depth articles on the NBA.   And don't forget to follow us on Twitter @TheDownLowNBA @12donyang @Willkonken

NBA Look Back: Rockets and Lakers Clash in 2009 Playoffs Without the Duo

Wow...it's been a minute...   But we're BACK! Happy New Year to all!   In our first episode of 2022, we take on another NBA Look Back. This time we discuss a topic that is near and dear to Will's heart - the 2009 Western Conference semifinal playoff bout between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers.   Topics include Will breaking down just why this series is special to him, salivating over the names on both rosters (oh what a time the late 2000s were), dissecting the series overall, Yao Ming's impact before and after his foot injury, the aftermath of the series and the connections between players (oh boy there are a lot), and finally some what-if scenarios - including how things would have turned out if Yao and Tracy McGrady were healthy.       Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Instagram! @TheDownLowNBA @12donyang @Willkonken

NBA Look Back: Iggy Gets Finals MVP

Hey DownLow listeners!   We've created a new series called, "NBA Look Back," where we discuss a historical moment in the NBA. It could be about award recipients, or snubs, a trade that did, or did not, happen, stuff of that sort!   In our inaugural episode, we break down a topic near and dear to Don's heart...Andre Iguodala winning the 2015 Finals MVP for the Golden State Warriors. Should he have won it? Was someone else deserving? *cough* Curry or LeBron *cough*   Lots of fun chat in this one! Enjoy!   Check out our merch on Instagram!
