We’ve made it! Game 82. The Portland Trail Blazers are locked into their draft odds so there are no mixed emotions any more. It’s one final chance for the players to show what they are about, and for many of them the last chance to add to their resume before likely joining new teams in the off-season. For fans, it’s the first time in months to watch a game without thinking of the repercussions of winning or losing.
The good news for the Utah Jazz is that they are entering the playoffs quite healthy and with a strong roster on paper.
