Blazers Lose to Utah Jazz...Again.

The Utah Jazz will not win the NBA championship. You can bank on that. They will certainly make the playoffs and will likely win 50 games, but they will falter in the first or second round of the playoffs. However, they are simply tougher, smarter, and better coached than the Blazers. I'm starting to wonder if the Blazers are simply being mismanaged. Aldridge was signed to a 5 year deal worth close to 70 million. Yet, he disappears in the 4th quarter. Oden was picked over Durant, yet Durant is turning into the true allstar scoring machine and Oden is always home nursing some new ailment (or taking pictures of himself). It's sad because the Blazers have the NBA's best fans, the richest owner, are the only professional sport in the state, yet haven't been out of the first round in a decade. It doesn't appear that will change this year.
