Oh wait, maybe not.

Here are some great ones, the 3rd is my all time favorite!

I'll limit it to what I was around to hear or see... so that means 1989-90 through to now.

Recently, LaMarcus's 42 point game against Chicago is pretty high up there, because I was at that game. So is Roy's 52 point game (though I only saw that one on TV). Game 2 against Houston in 2009 was amazing (first playoff game I ever went to). Blake's 14-assist quarter was immensely fun as well. The 13-game winning streak was a blast. Roy's game winner against Houston in OT (Roy vs Yao) is way way up there.

Further back gets fuzzier: the miracle minute was great, the "perfect quarter" was as well. Scoring 155 against Denver in 1990 was fun too.

All-time? Probably witnessing LMA's 40 point game against San Antonio, then the next home game watching him dismantle Chicago for 42. A pair of in-person experiences that brightened a sullen fandom for me.

sure looking back the Lottery Result is depressing... but it still was one of the hugest moments of my fandom. I remember just going ballistic! I had just moved to a new place, and my Sattelite hadnt been set up yet so I was listening to the lottery online somewhere.. and when they opened Atlanta's envelope for #3 I ran through the place just yelling at the top of my lungs. Somehow I ended up in the front yard during my sprints and was still yelling. I dont recall opening the door to go outside but I was there lol. And that was only knowing we had at least #2.. I didnt realize we had #1 until like 4 minutes later.

the guy at 1:49 who falls to his knees perfectly embodies the elation I felt that day.

All Time Favorite Moment at the RG, the Rocky Theme ques and B-Roy Returns. I was shocked, and the RG rocked.

Wish you could hear the music better, it was aaamazing.
 
It's tough separating the aftermath from the moment with a lot of these; Roy's 52 is tempered by the present difficulties he's been having, and of course the lottery moment has been tempered. But yeah, that video is still awesome, and that day was as well, at the time.

Dude I remember that day as well. I actually kicked my step-son on accident because I was going ballistic. I kept saying "We won the lotto! We won the lotto!!!!!" My step son said "How much did we win?!?!" I watch it even today and get tears. Yeah kinda depressing now, but that was a great moment as a Blazer fan!

LOL! Thats hilarious on how your step son reacted :lol: But yeah to this day that gets to me... crazy how a group of people could feel so strongly and the same about something as I did lol.

I remember going into that with the lowest of expectations. We were thought to get #6 IIRC, so I went it with the thoughts of how Corey Brewer would look on the wing for us. Crazy how fast that changed lol.

A legit 7'0" athletic freak dubbed a once-in-a-generation Center and he was bound to be a Portland Trailblazer.

This euphoria was before his pre-draft physical and his eventual first MF surgery but that night was awesome.

Best moment for me by far.

oh man what a great moment. I was way up in the last row.. I didnt even hear the Rocky music over the crowd honestly. It wasnt till I got to the car for the post game that I heard they played it. Talk about emotionally uplifting. Especially after getting DEMOLISHED 2 nights before.
 
of course cant forget Roy's three against Houston. My poor wife awoke to me dancing on the bed when I ran around the house lol.

Easy choice. I've never celebrated more than I celebrated this exact victory. And the mauling of Buck at the end is a legendary Blazer moment. When is it our turn again? :(
 
got to be the lotto man, what a bummer now, but holy shit i was excited, visions of sugar plums danced in my head
 
Okay, I'm an old fart. 1977 Blazers championship & subsequent victory parade. And it's not even close. :)

I wish I could take credit for being a fan during that championship. I was only 4 when they won it. I didn't even know what basketball was. :(
 
It wasn't on the court, but when I was a kid my mom ran into Clyde at the store and got me an autograph. I was so excited that I took it for show and tell the next week and while I was at lunch (this was like 2nd grade so don't hate) some jackass kid stole it. For weeks I was inconsolable until my mom informed me that Clyde had heard about my problem and signed the 1992 SI finals magazine for me. The one that came to his agent's house. I still have it packed away in a very safe location. That ranks right up there with Roy's .8 shot against Houston. Just part of the reason why being a blazer fan is great.

Nice!

I have a framed pennant that is signed by the entire 1990-1991 Blazer team.

+1

I was at Homecourt Pizza in Murray Hill watching this. Distinctly remember the nerves on EVERY possession and the thrill of victory.
