It's good to see Blake looking a little more comfortable out there. 13 & 6 on 5 of 7 shooting. He's played almost as many minutes as he did in total last night, so it'll be interesting to see how much time he sees in the 2nd half.

It didn't look that bad to me, but he did stay down for quite a bit.

Don't really need any serious injuries happening right now

Ayres is pretty money on that shot

Dawson will play the last 6 minutes.

Why would Blake not play a basketball game?

Dude needs as much run and reps as possible.
Unless we've already moved on from him being a big part of our playoff run.

We win again and get our 50th win for the 4th straight season. Now we need Blake to get back to speed, as much as he can, so that we can do the best we can in the playoffs.

i think blake needs to play more games than less, but my guess is it's a precautionary thing having to do with just played a b2b.

Touches on Pierce, Dawson, CP3 & Lil' Chris, Blake and when he was close to joining the Clippers.
