The NBA Playoffs are here, and the excitement is palpable. In the latest episode of “The Good Word with Goodwill,” hosted by Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill and guest J.A. Adande, the duo take a closer look at some of the most thrilling moments and games from over the weekend.
The conversation starts off on a lighter note, with a discussion about music legend Stevie Wonder before drawing parallels between Stevie’s early albums and the MVP Awards of NBA star Steph Curry. As they move on, they turn their attention to the impressive sweep of the Phoenix Suns by the Minnesota Timberwolves, raising concerns about how their timelines will match up in future seasons.
Next, they discuss New York Knicks fans’ raucous takeover of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and Joel Embiid’s controversial reputation as a dirty player. Meanwhile, they also examine the struggles facing the 76ers while praising the Knicks for their attention to detail and composure in playoffs.
Following that, they analyze the matchup between Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, with both pundits predicting a Nuggets victory despite their lackluster performance so far. However, injuries sustained by Nuggets raise questions about Lakers’ chances of extending this series further into playoff season.
Finally, they focus on Los Angeles Clippers who played exceptionally without Kawhi Leonard and showcased James Harden and Paul George’s offensive prowess. With both players heading towards free agency next year, their value to team is scrutinized in light of recent successes achieved by Clippers.
