It’s opening night of the 2020-21 NBA Season for the Portland Trail Blazers!!! The Blazers will take on the Utah Jazz tonight, which brings on our very first Gameday Thread of the year!

Update

Anfernee Simons has been ruled out of tonight’s game.

We also want to remind you of our Gameday Thread guidelines:

And the guidelines for Game Day Threads all season long...

• Don’t use gifs or videos in Game Day Threads because it slows down the comment section
• Don’t troll in your comments; create conversation rather than destroying it
• Remember Blazer’s Edge is basically a non-profanity site
• Out of respect to broadcast partners who have paid to carry the game, no mentions of “alternative” (read: illegal) viewing methods are allowed in our threads
• Put your mask on, Coach.

That’s it! Have fun tonight, and Go Blazers!
