Pretty good game overall. All the starters played well. Payne with an off shooting night but still very good with assists/turnovers. Booker with a great scoring/shooting night and the other 3 starters with great to good games. Ayton not as efficient as usual after being on fire from the field for a few games but when you still get 23 on over 50% shooting I'll take it.

Yup sums it up well. Took care of business and no injuries from the game. Win/win.

I don’t know if Craig rediscovered his shot or is having a lucky stretch the last couple of games but if he can maintain like 35% shooting from 3 then it’d be great for playoffs.

Saw Crowder was out and checked how many games Bridges had missed and it's 0 ever (sorry for the jinx).

He's never missed a game at any level. I think in jr high or maybe his coach didn't want him to play for some weird reason..I can't even remember it...one he definitely could have played in but that's it.

It looks like he is taking a bit more time getting set. If that is the case, it is really helping his efficiency.

Such a professional team. Next man up mentality, just keep running your system and play smart.

Yeh, I think he just needed to find his rhythm. He isn't a pure shooter so will go hot and cold, but I'd imagine he has much more time to shoot playing with us than the pacers, so just needs to settle into that.

I know that there's a lot of talk regarding Bridges' ultimate projection being a mix of Kwahi and P George. But with his smooth crafty offensive skillset and offensive improvements, could anyone possibly see some parallels to Paul Pierce? Only with elite lockdown defense! Just a random thought I wanted to share.

I have gotten a Grant Hill vibe from Bridges' game lately. Maybe it his release? :dontknow:
