      <title>Running Down A Dream: The 90-91 Trail Blazers' November To Remember</title>
      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2922/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Right out of the gate, the Trail Blazers proved to the rest of the NBA that they were the team to beat. With the schedule maker putting them at the “Crazy Coliseum” for 10 of November’s 13 games, Portland won their first 11 to kick off the ’91 campaign – the fourth best start in league history – eventually holding an envious 12-1 record at the end of the month.]]></description>

      <title>Return To Rip City: Trail Blazers Battle 'Bad Boys' For Championship</title>
      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2904/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Both teams were dominant at home and showcased two of the league’s finest backcourt duos. But that is where the similarities end. Portland loved pushing the tempo at any opportunity and letting their athletes fly around on the fast break while Detroit thrived on playing a tough, nasty breed of defense, hence the nickname “Bad Boys” which kick started their offense. ]]></description>

      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2903/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Without Walton, there is no 1977 championship parade through the streets of downtown Portland. When at his best, Big Red ranks as one of the best centers to ever play the game, and you could easily make the case he's the best passing big man ever and one of the NBA's most cerebral players.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[For the Trail Blazers, there would be another chapter to write in this dream season. They became only the third team since 1970 to have a losing record the year prior to making the Finals and the first since the 1978 Seattle Supersonics who went 40-42 during 1976-77 before winning it all the following year.]]></description>

His impact on the Trail Blazers runs much deeper than the countless accolades and statistical achievements he’s garnered over the years.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Even though Portland was 12 games better than Dallas in the regular season, fans were still skeptical if this time around would be any different. Would the acquisition of Buck Williams pay dividends? Did Portland have enough firepower off the bench? All were questions the Trail Blazers were ready to answer.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Throughout the Trail Blazers' storied 41-year history, the fans of Rip City have had a lot of memorable teams to cheer for, but none more influential in connecting the team with the fan base quite like the group that was assembled for the 1989-90 season.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The real debate begins now. From thirty-two to eight, the field is trimmed down to the crème of the crop where only the No. 1 and 2 seeds remain. Similar to the Sweet 16, the Elite 8 is dominated by those Trail Blazers from the early part of the 90’s; a team that brought Rip City back to Portland.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Ace of Base, Coolio, Pearl Jam – all major chart toppers in the early 90s, couldn’t touch The Dan Reed Network’s latest (and only?) hit – at least in the Portland metro area. Little did the folks know over at Nike, Z100, or The Dan Reed Network, but they were creating a monster in 1992 which still rears its head to this day.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Leading from the point and deadly beyond the arc, Porter’s 10 seasons with the Trail Blazers saw him play 758 games and average 14.9 ppg. Not surprisingly, he was a thriller in the post-season. The 1990 campaign saw him average 20.6 ppg in a trek to the NBA Finals and 21.4 ppg in a similar run two seasons later.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Petrie’s franchise record of 51 points in a game (done twice in one season) stood for 32 years. By then, of course, the NBA had been playing with a 3-point line for 25 years, and still nobody had reached Petrie’s mark(s). These games are merely Exhibit A and B of a long list of examples why Petrie was one of Portland’s best ever scorers.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Despite only playing an average of 52 games over his four-year stint in Portland, Walton is still -- easily -- the greatest center to ever don a Trail Blazers uniform. His performance during the 1977 title run is nothing short of legendary. So while the career stats don't measure up to other members of the Trail Blazers fraternity, look no further]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Just as Wayne stated, Buck refused to let Portland's hopes die. It didn't matter what the stakes where, No. 52 was putting out maximum effort every time down the floor, doing everything in his power to lead the Trail Blazers to victory. And that's exactly what he did on that spring night in 1996.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Maurice Lucas, fresh off his message-sending skirmish with 76ers big man Darryl Dawkins in Game 2, took an aggressive approach to Game 3 in Portland. With the Trail Blazers down two games to none, Lucas and the rest of the Trail Blazers knew it was now or never. And Lucas carried the Trail Blazers offensively.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Traditionally, power forwards and centers are thought of as players capable only of playing down on the blocks. But not Cliff Robinson. Uncle Cliffy was ahead of his time. At 6-10, he had the height to play in the paint but his 225 lb. frame allowed him to move freely on the perimeter, whether it was a jumper from long-range or a dribble-drive into the middle of the defense.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Whatever the situation Drexler, being the talented leader that he was, rose to the occasion to lead his team to victory. It just so happened that on this night the team was ice cold from the floor and needed Clyde The Glide to shoulder the scoring load. But even when he goes off for 40 points, he still found a way to snag a career-high 16 rebounds -- that was what made Clyde so very special.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[To no one’s surprise, the Sweet 16 is dominated by one of the most unforgettable and memorable team’s ever to have worn the red and black—the Trail Blazers of the early 1990’s which marked the return of Rip City after appearing in two NBA Finals in a three-year span. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In Portland’s inaugural 1970-71 season and his first as a pro, Petrie ranked seventh in the league in scoring (24.8), earned a trip to the NBA All-Star Game and was named NBA Rookie of the Year. He again ranked seventh in the NBA in scoring with a career-best 24.9 points per game in 1972-73, a year that saw him score 51 points not once, but twice, and each time against the Houston Rockets. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Criticized for not playing up to his potential or drifting too far away from the paint, Wallace was still the most talented player on the last great team in Rip City. Leading that incredibly deep 1999-00 squad in minutes played (35.1), points (16.4), field goals (6.7), rebounds (7.0), and steals (1.3), Rasheed was rewarded with his first of two All-Star selections as a Trail Blazer.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[But none of those superlatives are the reason Maurice Lucas is a #1 seed. You see, the Trail Blazers won no more than 38 games and never made the playoffs in any of the first six seasons of their existence (1970-76). Then Portland traded for Luke. And less than one calendar year later, the Trail Blazers were NBA Champions.]]></description>

When Kiki Vandeweghe was acquired from the Denver Nuggets prior to the 1985 season, that's not only what Portland envisioned but what they received [buckets].

      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2711/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[During those title chases of the 90’s, Williams was honored as a member of the All-Defense first team in both 90 and 91 and All-Defense second team in 92. In an era where zone defense was illegal, Williams’ ability to play Hall of Fame caliber bigs straight up was invaluable to Portland’s success. ]]></description>

      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2702/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In his first season as a Trail Blazer in 1999-2000, Pippen helped Portland return to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive season. During the team’s playoff run, he led the squad six times each in scoring and rebounding (both team highs). At 34 years young by the end of the year, Pippen earned Second Team All-Defensive honors after appearing in all 82 games with the Trail Blazers.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[If Drexler was the superstar, Porter the captain and Buck the glue, then Kersey was the jack-of-all-trades, because there isn’t any category Jerome hasn’t left his mark on.  He is one of only two Trail Blazers to score over 10,000 points, grab more than 5,000 rebounds and hand out at least 1,000]]></description>

      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2682/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A “7-3 Larry Bird”, at least in the eyes of Bill Walton, Arvydas Sabonis was truly one of a kind. His ability to shoot from the perimeter as well as score inside combined with unparalleled court vision helped him mesmerize the defense and fascinate the fans. ]]></description>

      <title>Greatest Trail Blazer: #3 Duckworth vs. #6 Grant</title>
      <link>http://blogs.trailblazers.com/PublicProfileRoot/MyBlog/tabid/99/EntryID/2674/IamaUserID/566/Default.aspx</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Kevin Duckworth’s massive 7-foot frame all too often overshadowed his big game and perhaps even bigger heart. In five straight seasons from 1987-92, Duckworth scored in double figures, grabbed better than six rebounds and played in at least 78 games. Two times an All-Star (1989, 1991) and once the league’s Most Improved Player (1987-88), Duckworth wasn’t just your average contributor on a great team – and those teams were great.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Taken with the 14th overall pick in the 1983 draft, Clyde Drexler became the face of Rip City throughout his 12 year tenure. Across the nation kids wanted to be like Mike, but in the Pacific Northwest, it was all about Clyde.
