In this episode of Good word with good willVincent Goodwill and Isis “Ice” Young catch up on the WNBA Finals and the NBA preseason.
They start with the Philadelphia 76ers, who discovered that Paul George’s knee injury is a bone bruise and announced that Joel Embiid would not play until the start of the regular season. More importantly, Embiid told a reporter that he probably won’t play back-to-back games for the rest of his career. Vince and Ice have thoughts about big men who don’t play every game.
Lonzo Ball is scheduled to be on an NBA court tonight for the Chicago Bulls, after nearly three years and three knee surgeries since he last played. Ice has been through similar knee injuries and talks about the mental part of recovery.
Game 3 of the WNBA Finals is tonight in Minnesota, and Ice still likes his pick of the Lynx to win it all in 5 games… or maybe even 4? Find out why he still thinks Liberty can’t keep up with the Lynx, even after their impressive Game 2 win.
When discussing which NBA team could jump from the playoffs to title contention, both Vinnie and Ice focused on the Memphis Grizzlies. If they can stay healthy and if Zach Edey is the player they think he can be, this team could be really good right away.
Finally, Vinnie and Ice look at the NBA coaches who began the season on the bench before asking which teams will have the most success on their way to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, where Cooper Flagg remains the the biggest prize.
