Don’t miss out on the latest episode of Ball Don’t Lie! In this episode of the Good Word with Goodwill, Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill is joined by Yahoo Sports NBA contributor Tom Haberstroh to discuss the Boston Celtics and more.
The duo delves into their trust issues surrounding the Boston Celtics, touching on various factors such as play style, playoff path, and the track records of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. They question whether the Celtics have what it takes to dominate the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
Previewing the upcoming game 1, Vinnie and Tom discuss Kristaps Porzingis’ health and potential strategies the Dallas Mavericks might employ to exploit any weaknesses in his defense due to a sore calf or rust from time off.
They also cover recent coaching news, including contract extensions for Ty Lue and Mike Brown, as well as Brian Keefe securing the job in Washington. The conversation moves on to J.J. Redick, the favorite to become the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tom raises the possibility of LeBron James becoming a free agent in the offseason and suggests a few teams that could be a good fit for LeBron to join if they were to draft Bronny James.
To wrap up the episode, Vinnie and Tom each select five current NBA players that they believe would make excellent head coaches in the future.
