In this episode of the Good word with good willYahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill is joined by new Yahoo Sports contributor Isis “Ice” Young to break down how the Mavericks dominated the Celtics on Friday night.
Vince and Ice start the show by talking about the Mavericks playing with force, both on offense and defense, and how this ties into Dereck Lively’s quote about being the aggressor against the Celtics.
Luka Doncic, who has been criticized by almost everyone in the media, played with pride and put in one of his best two-way performances of the playoffs. Ice says the criticism was justified, but only because Luka is considered one of the best basketball players in the world and should defend more consistently.
Meanwhile, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown looked lost against Dallas’ defense, as did pretty much everyone else on the Celtics. What could change before game 5 in Boston? Will Kyrie Irving be as effective in Boston as he was in Dallas?
Finally, Vinnie and Ice debate who would be the Finals MVP at this point and make a guess as to who will be named Finals MVP by the end of the series. Plus, they both make spicy predictions about what will happen in Game 5 on Monday.
