They are without Aldridge, Batum, Felton...

Watching their starting five and bench... well, I only hope we are able to win this game, because we need it badly.

If we lose this game, we have noone but ourselves to blame...... Just like, I might add, the Sacramento and New Orleans games......

Saw CJ miles on stage at a show last night. I waited for a quiet point, and yelled from the front row "Hey CJ," he looks up and I follow with "Stop being a f***ing chucker!" He just went back to tweeting or whatever he was doing on his phone. We'll see if he heeds my advice.

I won't blame him for hanging out until 2am with a rap group before a road game, since I would probably do the same, but it didn't exactly scream "professionalism."

Felton helped the jazz secure a victory last time so I'm a little bummed about him being out.

I don't think the jazz have to worry about CJ anymore, the countdown is on till he's gone

[countrybama24]

Yea, but I had to vent when I saw him. Easily one of the laziest dudes on the team.

I was debating whether I should have yelled "you got some big ass ears!" instead, but I wasn't in the most sober state of mind.

Felton, Batum and Przybilla are game time decisions. Crawford is going to sit this one out.

Kaleb Canales said Felton was starting tonight and Felton is saying it's up to him if he goes tonight against Utah Jazz. (right Achilles)

Raymond Felton will play, Jamal Crawford won't tonight for #Blazers. Przybilla (bronchitis) and Batum (thigh) are game-time decisions.

Canales says Przybilla and Batum are gametime decisions and Crawford will not play tonight against Jazz. Also said Felton will play, but ...

Felton says it's up to him if he plays, will decide after warmups. Felton added he will leave team for uncle's funeral & miss Memphis game.

[FJS]

The dude is 6'7.... better not to taunt him a lot.... and if he is with a rap group.... less.

[Reckless]

thanks for the updates Shem.

[DeadlyTreeStump]

I'm going to bed now and I'm going to miss this game. Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow and our playoff hopes will still be alive.

No matter what your a DOUCHE BAG for yelling that at CJ... Real classy!!!

[HolyToledo]

This is the type of game the young Jazz team doesnt come out with energy then loses at the end. I think Its going to change and the Jazz actually win this game pretty easily bc Aldredge pick and roll vs Jefferson will not be a problem tonight. Houston loses to Dallas at Dallas and Suns lose of Oklahoma City at home then the Jazz control their own desinty and make the playoffs if they win out.

[Jgolds]

we have all said it about the last 5 games and we are all thinking it about this game. but i really feel like this is really the last game the jazz have to prove they are playoff material this year. if they loose it will be because of lack of hustle and desire, and that dosnt belong in the playoffs. i think if we get in we could be a real upset team. i honestly belive that. we have the youth and the talent to compete and to be good. but this is the make it or break it game. the last chance for utah to show how bad they want it. GO JAZZ!!! ill be watching and either cheering or swearing at the end. maybe both.

Felton out == Jazz loss

Not sure if serious. I thought it was some good constructive criticism.

[jazzgasm]

Felton out == Jazz loss

Lol I hate to think that as well but jazz struggle on these types of games. when some starters are missing for the other team. Hopefully they win

[DusterBuster]

Watch out Jazz..... Thabeet is starting!!! (/greenfont)

[seejaydeja]

Portland looks like trash. We better win this by double digits
