Miles Bridges is legit becoming a star.

I forgot to mention a lovely floater Bridges made on the right side of the basket, with his right hand. It showed great touch for a guy best known for slams---three straight at one point in this game.

It's hilarious how bad Detroit always are.

We've beaten them like 20 time's in a row.

Glad to have some of our key players back. We looked like a different team. McDaniels needs more playing time...and go ahead and get Carey some minutes with LaMelo.

Martin getting more PT than McDaniels just seems wild to me. I don't hate starting Martin right now because with the injuries we still have he'll have to get some PT and it makes some sense to hide him in our most offensively talented lineup for a handful of minutes in the 1st/3rd quarters, but I think McDaniels is better at just about everything. I'll be pretty annoyed if McDaniels gets squeezed out of the rotation and Martin still gets minutes once Hayward and Graham are back.

Cody Martin is so much better when he’s just playing his role and not trying to score in half court sets. Dell even mentioned it on the broadcast.

Completely agree on how annoying it would be if Martin plays more than McD once we're back to 100%. Just look at the production he gave last night:

15 minutes
3-3 FG
1-2 FT
9 reb (3 offensive)
2 blocks
1 TO
2 PF

I mean...talk about playing your role. If we could get something like that from him off the bench consistently, that's a major lift. He had a few big putbacks last night.

The problem is that when Martin is on the court the defense funnels the ball to him and forces him to have to try to attack or we're just playing 4v5.

Zeller had something like 17 points in 19 minutes game before last and he can't even get in front of Biyombo in the rotation. Lol.
