The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

Tobias Harris and Cade Cunningham usage has spiked as a result of the magic being able to really marginalize this all NBA force that this pick and roll partner of Cade Cunningham and now Cade

Cade has the highest usage in the NBA playoffs, Zach Lowe.

The Zach Lowe Show

He's up there at 36.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

That's not where he wants to be.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

He wants to be down near 30.

The Zach Lowe Show

He wants to drive it.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

So yes, he's turning it over in part because his pick and roll partner hasn't been there, dude.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

We knew this coming in, but they unsurprisingly ranked dead last in the playoffs in three-point shooting.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

I know it's sort of an interesting point, but they miss Malik Beasley.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

They don't have that.

The Zach Lowe Show
Can Houston Complete the Historic Comeback? Plus, Game 6 Previews, and Lottery Reform

They had that last year.

And he wasn't particularly great in the playoffs.

The Zach Lowe Show
