Jake O’Donnell and the Blazers won? Well, it was in his pre-Clyde hatred days.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

It’s sad that it’s been that long. I hope it’s not another 43 years before the next one.

It’s sad that it’s been that long. I hope it’s not another 43 years before the next one.

Since Portland won there, have been 14 of 30 teams that have won a championship.

I went to the championship parade that year and I thought we were set for a long dynasty run. I'd never have believed that 43 years later we wouldn't have another title. Curse Bill Walton's feet and the basketball fates. Hope I get to see another title.

 

[Chris Craig]

I was -7. Still waiting to see the 1st one of my liftetime.

 

[PDXFonz]

Happy Birthday!!

 

[tlongII]

Most fun day of my life. I’ll never forget going downtown and making out with random hotties.

 

[tlongII]

That was pre-covid of course.

 

[TBpup]

That was pre-covid of course.

You can do that in the middle of a mass of hotties today. Just say it is a protest.

 

[PDXFonz]

Happy birthday!

Dude I’m dead I actually thought it was his birthday because I saw this post and didn’t pay enough attention to the rest of them
