    Time to vote on new match-ups. Today is the 1976-77vs 2003-04 teams. Vote on who you think would win AND tell us why you voted that way. You might be able to sway some of your fellow Blazermaniacs to vote with you.

    1976-77: Overall record: 49-33 (tie, 4th in league, 3rd in conference, 2nd in division) Blazermania is born. The Trail Blazers crowned a storybook season by besting favored Philadelphia to win the NBA Championship, a first-ever world title for Portland. The capper came June 5 in Memorial Coliseum when Coach Jack Ramsay's club pulled out a 109-107 thriller in the sixth and deciding game. The Blazers became only the second team in NBA history to go all the way in their first trip to the playoffs. CONTINUE READING/Become of fan of this team



    2003-04: Overall record: 41-41 (tie, 14th in league, 10th in conference, 3rd in division) A rally in March and early April with 12 wins in 16 games wasn't enough as Portland missed making it into the post season for the first time since 1982 and only the second time since winning the NBA title 28 years earlier.

    No chance at the #1 seed being upset here. The 76-77 team was just utterly dominant in the playoffs and were clicking on all cylinders. With the absence of Sheed, 03-04 has no one in the post to score on or defend against Mo and Walton.

    Agreed on all accounts. The Champs could lose in the bracket, but not until the Finals or Semi's. 49 wins isn't all that impressive, but obviously they were gelling at the right time and it all came together. Portland has never had a dominant big man like Bill Walton and I just don't see anyone on 03-04 coming close to stopping him..I mean seriously..a ZBO/SAR front court..yikes!

    Yeah It would be a good deal for them but who Olshey isnt reading this haha. If we can do this trade to start our off season we would be in great shape.

    Rip a cap hold is a number given to free agents. Basically the cap hold is added to the teams salaries at the start of free agency. So for example a team has 10 million in cap space but has 15 million in cap holds they are technically over the sal...

    You could trade the pick for someone like Sanders or someone young and a little more developed and hope Noel does not surpass them.

    Noel was playing at around 220 so I doubt the added weight will slow him down too much the guy just needs to continue his rehab and hit the weight room and he will be fine.

  5. I'm just going to say it.

    As long as he stops pulling the ball down in the post I will be happy nothing more annoying than watching that happen several times a game

    Dont see how we can get a starting defensive center. I will be very impressed if Olshey can find one

  7. Roster Ideas?

    Started by Aaron Childers on 05/18/13 at 4:25 AM

    We really do not need so many rehashes. 

  8. Is Paul Allen more Concerned about Profits then Winning a Championship?

    Started by Tim Morrissey on 12/09/12 at 10:04 AM

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
