- Rotation change: Dru Smith came in as the ninth man and Nikola Jovic got a DNP-CD, after Jovic had held that spot in the first three games. at 25:05
- The host had no chance to ask Spoelstra about the Smith-for-Jovic swap. He wonders if it was matchup-dependent given Dallas's many guards, such as Kyrie Irving. He thinks it was more likely because Miami wasn't getting much from Jovic and couldn't afford two minus defenders on the floor alongside Klay or Hardaway. at 25:18
- Both hosts thought Dru Smith was impactful in his 15 minutes and made a big difference. at 21:57

- David Ramil: David says the easy path for Conwell would be to replace Dru Smith. He doesn't know whether Spoelstra would be comfortable doing that. at 4:07
- Dru Smith is still out with what the host calls 'this calf thing.' He also missed the second preseason game. Conwell played in that game because both Larsson and Smith were out. at 5:57
- Host thinks Pelle Larsson is essentially the backup point guard, ahead of Dru Smith. He doesn't think Smith or Conwell are in the night-to-night plans. at 6:51
