Game Thread Oct 29, 2025 07:00PM MT: Portland Trail Blazers @ Utah Jazz

Added to Calendar: 10-29-25

Also worth noting that teams that play like the Blazers last year (hard nosed super aggressive defense) often also die by the sword if the refs are whistle-happy. I dont know anything about any NBA refs, so would not know if the crew in our game against them is of that type.
 
I kind of feel like the Jazz and the Blazers are about on the same level, which is bad for the tank but shows that our development is really good considering we have been stingy with using our resources. I'd certainly rather be in our shoes than theirs going forward.
 
Just learning Scoot is out with a hamstring, haven't followed the league as closely this year.

I think it would still break for Scoot overwhelmingly, but curious what GMs would choose if they could either have Scoot or Keyonte now that they are both starting year 3
 
Jazz will lose I think. Jrue and Camara gonna provide a lot of ball pressure and I am not convinced we handle it well. Kinda throws the timing and positioning of the half court sets even if they don't turn us over a bunch.
 
Something to watch: Brice was doghoused last game and only played 12 mins. Not sure the issue, but that 2nd unit with Brice and Ace gave up a 20 point lead.
 
Stylistically, I think POR is a nightmare matchup for us but I don't think it's necessarily played out that way.
 
Ace needs to break out eventually, right?

Right?








Right?




:(

He's coming off what seems to be a bad illness and it's still super early. Even Cooper has mostly looked bad. It would be nice to get a morale boosting game here soon, but I won't panic for another 10 games or so.
