Utah Jazz vs. Portland Trail Blazers Game Thread

You know the drill, it's a Utah Jazz home game against a division foe -- tonight the Portland Trail Blazers. Thus, this game is going to be closer than it needs to be, and the other team will make life tough for the fans who are going to this game. Personally, it sucks that the Jazz are already down three core players and possibly four. But this is a great way to finish the year 2015 -- exorcise all the injuries with a win tonight and get ready for a great 2016. Right? I mean, that's what would happen in an 80s movie, right? (Also, casual child abuse from a step-mom . . . but hey . . . we can edit that out when they re-release it in 20 years.) Anyway, Jazz / Blazers. I hate the Blazers.
