About Portland Trail

The Portland Trail Blazers joined the NBA during a league expansion that also included the Buffalo Braves and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The original Portland club featured guard Geoff Petrie and forward LeRoy Ellis; it registered a win-loss record of 29-53. Portland had several talented rookies, and Petrie shared the NBA rookie of the year award with Dave Cowens of the Portland Trail Blazers. Blazers forward Sidney Wicks won the award the following year. After their debut campaign, Portland placed near the bottom of the league during their next three seasons. A 27-55 win-loss record in 1973-74 earned the Blazers the number-one selection in the 1974 NBA draft, which the team used to pick Bill Walton, a three-time college player of the year while at UCLA.

With Walton at center and former St. Louis Hawks star Lenny Wilkens installed as head coach, the Portland Trail Blazers won 38 games in the 1974-75 season and 37 games the following year. Before the 1976-77 season, former Buffalo Braves coach Jack Ramsay replaced Wilkens. Ramsay brought a disciplined, team-oriented strategy to the club, which had added guard Lionel Hollins in the 1975 NBA draft and power forward Maurice Lucas from the disbanded American Basketball Association.

In Ramsay?s first season, the Portland Trail Blazers finished with a 49-33 win-loss record. In the playoffs, Portland defeated the Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, and Los Angeles Lakers to reach the NBA Finals. There the Trail Blazers were considered an underdog against the Philadelphia 76ers, who were led by forward Julius Erving. The Blazers lost the first two games but won the next four contests to capture the franchise?s first title.

In the 1977-78 season, the Portland Trail Blazers logged a 58-24 record and Walton won the league?s most valuable player award. In the playoffs, however, Walton was slowed by an injury, and Portland lost in the conference semifinals to the Seattle SuperSonics. Walton continued to be plagued by injuries, missing the entire 1978-79 season before joining the San Diego Clippers the following year as a free agent. The Trail Blazers remained competitive and missed the playoffs only once from 1978-79 through 1985-86.

In the early 1990s, Portland players Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, and Buck Williams helped make the club one of the NBA?s best. Under head coach Rick Adelman, the Blazers won 59 games in the 1989-90 season and in the playoffs advanced to the NBA Finals. There the Trail Blazers lost to the Detroit Pistons. The next season Portland registered 63 wins and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. During the 1991-92 season the Trail Blazers won 57 games, and in the playoffs the Blazers beat the Lakers, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz before falling to the Chicago Bulls in six games in the NBA Finals.

As the club?s top stars grew older in the mid-1990s, the Trail Blazers? fortunes declined. Drexler, the franchise?s all-time leader in points, offensive rebounds, and steals, was traded to the Houston Rockets in 1995 as the club began to rebuild its roster. One of the major new additions in 1995 was Arvydas Sabonis, a Lithuanian player who had starred for years in international basketball. Over the next few years he was joined by younger players such as Brian Grant, Damon Stoudamire, and Rasheed Wallace. Before the 1999-2000 season the Trail Blazers traded for Scottie Pippen, considered one of the NBA?s greatest players ever.
