Join Ball Don’t Lie by subscribing to this very special episode of the Good Word with Goodwill. Here, Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill sits down with Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Dan Devine to discuss the aftermath of game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals, where the Boston Celtics secured a 2-0 lead over the Mavericks before heading to Dallas.
The conversation delves into how Boston has managed to stifle the Mavericks’ usually potent offense and explores why stars like Kyrie Irving are struggling in this series. Despite Irving’s performance, Luka Doncic stands out as a standout player for the Mavericks.
Dan also highlights a moment of composure from the usually fiery Celtics team and discusses their ability to disrupt the Mavericks’ offensive flow. Jayson Tatum’s impact, Jrue Holiday’s impressive performance, and the possibility of one of them becoming Finals MVP are all topics of discussion.
Following an ad break, the discussion shifts to what the Mavericks can do differently in Dallas, the untapped offensive potential of the Celtics, and the potential impact of a Kristaps Porzingis injury.
