In this very special episode of the Good word with good willYahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill talks with Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Dan Devine following Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals.
The Boston Celtics won again in impressive fashion, taking a 2-0 lead over the Mavericks before the series shifts to Dallas.
Vinnie and Dan share how Boston managed to shut down the previously potent Mavericks offense and explain why Kyrie Irving is off to such a bad start in this series. It’s not just Kyrie, though. Luka Doncic was the only Mavericks player who played really well through two games.
Dan talks about a moment of poise he saw with the Boston Celtics, not a team typically praised for their poise, before talking about how they’ve forced the Mavericks offense to play differently than how they’re comfortable.
The guys talk about Jayson Tatum impressing despite not shooting well, then discuss Jrue Holiday’s huge impact in two games before wondering if one of them could end up winning Finals MVP.
After the commercial break, the guys talk about what the Mavericks can do differently in Dallas, the offensive ceiling the Celtics still haven’t reached in this series and the potential impact a Kristaps Porzingis leg injury could have.
