Is McCulllom out or just not starting?

McCollum is hurt, will likely miss a few games. Knee.

Drummond needs to show up ready to battle Nurk if we're gonna take this one. We know Lillard is gonna cook Reggie from time to time, so we need to make it up elsewhere.

Put Brown on Lillard and hope Drummond can match Nurkic. I think we have a good chance at winning this one. Knock on wood.

Jackson always rips Portland along with Drummond. No McCollum means all the shots will go to Lillard. It's Brown's chance to have a good game defending Lillard. We can win this game if you shoot well from 3 or win the rebounding/second chance point battle with a wide margin. We won't win the turnover game playing away.

Lillard is having a good season, so he'll likely light it up as usual but with more volume since CJ won't be back for a while.

Euro bigs always have good games against Dre, so that'll be fun too I guess. Meh, this is going to be one of those games.

Knowing Pistons luck Jake Layman is about to have the game of his life!

this will probably go down to the wire maybe into OT.

So many stupid mistakes in this quarter. Unforced TOs, missed layups, and giving up wide open layups.

All day Thon. Gotta hit that. He is becoming that guy that only hits 3s when the game is over.

This game is exactly why I have this wet dream that Portland gets demolished in 4 games in the Playoffs and decides to blow it up. At the same time Reggie blows up in the Playoffs and we offer Reggie and 2 (hell 3) 1sts for Lillard. We throw in expirings in exchange for a bad contract to even it out. One can dream.

Seriously, why was Jackson taken out after just 6 minutes? I'm getting tired of this. He's been one of our best scorers. Play the dude 34mpg already...

Back to back possessions where literally no one even attempted to go for the rebound. What is with the incompetence tonight?

Blake and Dre coming alive now

Spectacular end to that quarter. Definitely locked in on defense. Drummond is going to make my head explode though with all of these missed layups lately.

Also, Jackson with 12pts on 4 of 6 shooting (including that heave at the buzzer) and he only has ELEVEN MINUTES... Play the man...

Thank God we got back in it... Was worried we'd let go of the rope completely while Blake was taking a break.

Oh my bad then. I must've not noticed that.

Our starters are playing well. Ellington is the only one who could be doing better. Our bench got me worried, I think Thon and Zaza were awful against Kanter and Collins.
