The Afterparty: Jazz/Blazers Game 47

A party full of post-game links and coverage to give you every over-analyzed angle in hopes of making your Blazers IQ that much greater.

If it weren't for the return of Nicolas Batum, I'd be having an incredibly hard time watching Blazers games right now. Without Brandon Roy, this team completely lacks an ability to close or make any sort of significant run to put away anyone. Even more frustrating, is the fact that he's been gone during one of the tougher stretches of the season and apparently will now miss the next road trip down in Texas.

Speaking of schedules, let's take a look at the next 6 games. At Houston and Dallas. Loss. Loss. Home vs. Charlotte. Win. At Utah. Loss. Home vs. San Antonio. Loss. Home vs. Lakers. End of streak?

Save me now. Like I said earlier, at least we have Batum back and dunking on white folk.
