In this episode we preview the 2024 NBA FINALS between the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics. We talk about key matchups on both sides, and how the Mavs can reasonably expect to defend the Celtics with their two superstars and cast of shooters. We discuss the status of Boston center Kristaps Porzingis, and how his health will determine a lot of how both teams approach this series. We also discuss ways in which the Mavericks possess advantages in this series, namely in having the best player (Luka Dončić), the better coach (Jason Kidd), and overall being more battle-tested, having beaten three of the top-4 teams in the gauntlet Western Conference to reach the NBA FINALS. Finally, we share our predictions for the series, as to whether the Mavericks will bring championship #2 to Dallas.
