I thought he was very good tonight, man.

It is interesting.

Aaron Gordon, though, 26 minutes.

That's going to be a storyline.

He's not going to play tomorrow, I don't think.

I would be shocked.

So you do go without him tomorrow, and then in just 26 minutes a night, they really are so much better with him, both the starters and the staggered lineup.

And the fact that he sat tonight...

From the six-minute mark in the third quarter to the six-minute mark in the fourth quarter, that's such a long... It's hard to find your rhythm, and Aaron's talked about this.

Honestly, it was probably like 35, 40 minutes of real-life time from when he stepped off to when he stepped back on.

Tough to do.

Let's take our break.

On the other side, though, I do want to talk about this bench, including Brucey B, man.

He went full Bruce tonight.

That was a weird choice what you just did.

Dude, take it off your computer.

I'm emailing it.

Segment three here.

Let's go to the bench here.

Brucey B, man, these are the type of games you're never going to get a crazy stat line from him, but nine points, nine rebounds, three assists, a steal, and this big bucket's when they mattered most.
