Welcome to the Gameday Open Thread at Blazer’s Edge! This is a place to hang out and enjoy tonight’s festivities with your fellow fans.

But we'll get through it together.

- Nicolas Batum (wrist, etc) is playing tonight.
- Chris Kaman (leg, thumb) is also playing.
- LaMarcus Aldridge has an torn ligament in his thumb, but is playing through it.
- Damian Lillard has a splint on the finger of his shooting hand.
