    As we know, Christmas is all about love, cheer, joy, giving, and gift.
    I would love to cheer with joy for the Blazers as they give the Jazz a beat-down as a Christmas gift of payback for the loss 4 days ago.

    It's crazy to think the Blazers haven't had a Christmas game in 8 years. I guess the NBA thinks we've been irrelevant since 2010.

    This will be Dame's first Chirstmas game, it will be in Utah, and on national TV, so I fully expect him to go off. The best Christmas present for Blazers fans will be a win.

    All I want for Christmas is for Dame to make the Jazz go back to New Orleans.

    Yeah Dame will have a big game. We should be able to win this on a sense of pay back alone.

    What are you doing Christmas Eve? Or does flying down there count as working?

    Doubtful Mitchell will have another 1-10 game. It's certainly possible, but will be tough to get a win. Then again, Portland can sometimes play quite well in a game you'd think they will lose....only to stink it up in one they should win.

    We are 14-3 on Christmas Day. By percentage, only Miami is better at 10-2. We lost our last Christmas game to GS in 2010. Utah is 4-2.
