Summary

Deandre Ayton has made Ty Lue afraid to go small, while Trae Young’s injury casts a pall over the Atlanta-Milwaukee series. The Mavs have THJ as a key free agent, but should they be setting their sights higher over the next few years with the hirings of Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd? The Nuggets’ offseason is complicated by Jamal Murray’s injury and upcoming extensions for MPJ and Aaron Gordon.

All right, big weekend here of games to get to and I think let's start with Saturday's game.

0:07.0

Suns, eat it out over the clippers.

0:10.0

84 to 80 despite myriad falls in the last minute of the game.

0:15.0

It was the lowest combined score of any game this season.

0:19.0

Did I see that correctly? I thought I saw that.

0:21.0

You did see that correctly. Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press had it that this was the lowest scoring game in the NBA this season.

0:28.0

And 685 games this year had more points through three quarters than this one did at the end.

0:35.0

Yeah, yeah, so I will say I'm pretty thrilled we didn't do it for the live show for a couple different reasons.

0:43.0

Oh, yeah, and I mean it didn't take 30 minutes for the last two minutes like game two did.

0:49.0

But there are also just a ton of crazy plays at the end, which we'll get to.

0:53.0

1:14.0

And that actually really shut down the Warriors over the last two and a half games of that run.

1:21.0

And he went all offense in the jazz series, even once Kuala Lennon went to anyone all offense in the Mav series.

1:28.0

And it worked great. That was the thing that we wondered is like, hey, Deandre Aiden against this small group, how is that going to work?

1:34.0

And then we basically just didn't see the small group that really made sense all series.

1:40.0

And then he finally went to that group.

1:42.0

Markets Morris started this one. I guess they thought he was feeling better about five minutes into the game.

1:47.0

They go to that group and you know, because they had gone small before, but it was with like Rondo and Kanar together.
