The chances of Blake being anywhere as effective as he was last year are going down. He didn't have the offseason of development, and now he's missing time. Looks like the Pistons will need a Morris career resurrection to avoid just being miserable.

On the flip side, Blake's health ultimately matters that he a) is healthy enough for the Pistons to get into the playoffs and b) his peak health has to be during the playoffs.

Thinking that Blake would be able to just run it back without a hitch after we ran him into the ground with ridiculously high usage last season was never realistic. But I definitely didn't foresee him breaking down before the first jumpball though.

This really sucks.

Is this the same knee that bothered him last year and was surgically repaired in the offseason??

These last three years of Blake’s contract could be long.

We haven't seen anything to suggest Sekou's number is even remotely close to being called.

This likely means lots of Thon -a- Thons.

More then likely Thon and Wood get the uptick. Just saying I wish it was some Sekou

It's like already being beaten down, bleeding in the street and you extend your hand to a passerby and they decide to kick you in the nuts instead.

*sigh*

Just saw that Morris is questionable. Wood may go from 50/50 making the team to the starter on opening night.

This is why you keep the #30, because if your star cant play its a bottom 5 team and finding NEW talent is key.

Its like the whole organization is shocked to find out Blake might get hurt and not play!

Blake is out for weeks, Morris is questionable, sekou is going through concussion protocol and won't travel to Indy and reggie is probable, but has back tightness Hahaha Cmon man! This is not a great start. Hopefully none of this is long term stuff

Also if Blake is out, I'd like to see Luke in the starting line up as an extra play maker.
