McCollum has been much better than Lillard. Lillard has been another volume scorer, not my type of player. IT > Lillard, EASY!

Little bummed Turner is out. I still like and appreciate him, even if I know I'm in the minority there.
Why are these West coast trips seemingly so much harder on East teams than West headed East? Is the late start really difficult for our guys?

Studies show it actually goes the other way. West coast teams tend to struggle more. Mostly because East coast teams like to mix in early afternoon starts on the weekends. It has leveled way out over the years though.
The bigger reason for the struggles is that it is hard to play 4-6 games away from home in a row. Routines are off, timing is off, everything gets messed up.
Heading over to Portland now to catch this one live! Bummer no ET or AB or Swedish Darth Vader mask. Hopefully, they show up a little better than last night.

Going to be tough guarding that backcourt without AB. Brown is going to get lit up trying to stop CJ since he can't slip past screens as good as AB or Smart. I'm thinking we lose, but as Banks Pierce pointed out, the Cs are pretty good on the second night of b2b games.
