The Blazers Are Real…So Are The Jazz
I still don’t know where each of these teams will fall in the West standings, but the fact that the Utah Jazz battled the Portland Trail Blazers all the way to the end, sans Derrick Favors and Gordon Hayward, should indicate positivity for them moving forward.
It’s definitely a good sign.
At the same time, the Blazers are pretty insane themselves. If nothing else, they’re going to be one of the higher scoring teams in the NBA again. And Damian Lillard…well he’s something else.
Lillard finished with 39 points, nine rebounds and six assists. His running mate, C.J. McCollum, added 25 points.
Both of these teams are trending up, and should be penciled into the playoff race.
