Jalen Dern grabs the mic before this game, talking to the fans.

We got more games for you, Detroit!

Without saying, like, we're going far in the playoffs.

He was super confident, and then Cade comes on the floor, and I thought he looked really, really good.

I did, too.

Right from the get-go, Ryan Rollins cut him off one way, and he spins from the three-point line and gets all the way to the rim.

He didn't hold up in any way.

And then I thought, three minutes in, he was a dead stop.

He was full stop, and Asar Thompson gets a steal, and he has to start a sprint.

And he does that to go get an alley-oop.

He was ready.

He was ready from the get-go.

He was ready to be physical.

That collapsed lunk, not a problem.

He's fighting with A.J.

Green, who's got really big shoulders and really big arms, and he had no problem doing that.

So although he only played, was it 25, 26 minutes, he didn't have to play a ton because they mopped Milwaukee in the end.

Didn't play in the fourth quarter.

In fact, Bickerstaff kept all five starters under 30 minutes.

Yeah, so it worked out great.
