    The Blazers record in Utah is not that good. Right now Utah is on an 11 game winning streak. Hope Dame and company break that streak tomorrow.

    After the last time they played the Jazz. Second game of a B2B and 5th game in 7 nights after a east coast road trip i said this game would be a win.
    Lets hope i'm right. The Blazers are a better team than the Jazz. I truly believe that.

    If they can play like they did against golden state, I see no reason to losing to Utah despite how good they have been playing

    One of those games you need to win....yet when healthy, the Jazz are a big problem for the Blazers.

    For the love of God, please, please win this game for me. I cannot deal with my Utah native coworker sitting next to me talking about another victory over the Blazers. Just cannot deal.

    The west standings are so tight that every game is a must win. The Blazers are not a shoe in for a playoff seed folks.

    I think everybody here had the Jazz sucking this year right? I swore they would struggle losing Hayward.
