Can you believe that we're almost at 40 games this season? We're at game 38, as the Utah Jazz tip off against the Portland Trail Blazers in the Pacific Northwest tonight. So far this season they are 1-1, with the Blazers picking up the split in Utah. Can the Jazz do the same in Portland? Tonight could be big because, well, it could be the first game in a very long time where our vaunted front line actually starts with one another. I don't have a crystal ball here, but if Derrick Favors plays, the Jazz are going to look really good. If he sits out again for back spasms then that's not good at all. Overall, both teams have a lot to look forward to in the future . . . but this season has been a struggle for both:
As always, here are the relative fan locations and densities for the two teams (as seen on social media)
