The opening like the opening offerings have been just incredible in terms of what he's been able to do.

But three games and 15 games or 20 games or more importantly, like a seven game series at a time are very different.

like endeavors.

So I want to see a little bit more, but if it continues in this way, I think they probably do have more going for them than basically any other contender at this point.

I'm not quite ready to bail on Detroit just yet, but I think the Celtics are coming on incredibly strong.

I don't know.

Well, let me ask you this.

So these four teams tonight, we have San Antonio and Denver going at it.

We got Boston and OKC going at it.

Those are the four lowest turnover teams in the league, and they might be the four best teams in the league.

Do you think there's anything to that idea?

Is there something about the NBA right now that is more of a possession game than it used to be?

I mean, I think...

A couple of things.

I think in terms of the late possessions and the way this thing unraveled for the Spurs, it was remarkable how much San Antonio's possessions ended up going exactly where the Nuggets defense wanted them to go, which is, you know, all of your Q dribble penetration is going to end with a Keldon Johnson catch and shoot three, a Dylan Harper catch and shoot three, a Harrison Barnes catch and shoot three.

And those are not bad shots.

But I think part of the thing is every Nuggets possession is,

was going exactly to Murray and Jokic in some combination over and over and over.

And they were kicking out and making plays.

And you could say the same about, you know, finding Spencer Jones in the lane or Cam Johnson certainly had his moments down the stretch.
