Should be a tough game, Utah is desperate for wins after having a tough schedule team is a lot better than their record indicates.

If anyone is at the arena and you notice an "aroma"...it's not me. It's CJ's shooting.

I do wonder if the Blazers will ever have a bench that doesn't consistently lose leads...

Jazz made up for their hot shooting by chipping the paint off the rim in the last 3 minutes...every shot seems to bounce about 8' above the hoop

Gotta hand it to the Jazz and Snyder...their system of multiple high screens and cuts is pretty great. Of course, it helps when you have an actual distributing PG like Rubio.

Blazers gonna keep letting teams shoot above 40% from 3pt and expect to have any kind of chance?

He wasn't at the time, BC...but yeah, go ahead and take your pick.

Blazers get a little momentum going into the fourth...bench starts the fourth and immediately craps the bed over and over again.

At the time Aminu was 1-6 and CJ was 2-8. I have noticed when Aminu scores well the team does well. The problem is that Aminu has a large number of games where he is sub 30% fg this season.

Fair enough...like I said, take your pick.

This game never really felt close after the beginning of the second quarter. Blazers went back to defending at a very, very low level.

that was a solid butt-kicking

CJ, Aminu, & Collins go 8-33....24%...yikes! CJ's selfishness is growing

We really need a consistent scorer from the starting forwards. Harkless and Aminu combined for 9 points on 2-13 shooting. Ideally neither is a starter but a good role player off of the bench
