I remember that game -- as much as a then 6-year-old could, but down only 3 and still a lot of time left, why didn't Danny Young shoot that thing earlier? Why'd it look like we just quit there in that situation? No one was on him, and he had a wide-open 3 uncontested.

Man... I remember that. We were videotaping our friends watching it, and we got some excellent footage of a buddy of mine, staring intently at the screen with his fingers interlocked over the top of his head, all distressed. Funny how I have that shot tied to the memory of that game...

Can you imagine the kind of scrutiny Young would get in today's NBA, and especially the criticism Young would get from fans?

NBA Finals, Game 4, must win, down 3.. and you're wide open and don't shoot the ball before the buzzer? C'mon Danny, you're better than that!
He'd be banned from Portland the rest of his life. He'd be Jarrett Jack before Jack even existed.
 
Re: Blazer Roll Call

I've been a fan since I was interested in basketball which was probably 1998. I had just moved to Portland 2 years ago and was around 10 years old. :ghoti:

Anyone else think it would be real cool for the Blazers to honor Kevin Duckworth by playing a game in the old Coliseum?
 
Re: Blazer Roll Call

How long have you been a fan? Since '93

Who is your current favourite player? The whole team is so stacked, how can I pick just one? I will admit to having a bit of a soft spot for Webster though.

Who is your All Time favourite player? Can't decide between Clyde and Sabas.

What was your favourite moment? You're all going to laugh at me, but it was our opening game of last season. Although we lost to the Spurs, due to the crap basketball coverage in this country (esp. Portland), it was the first Blazers game I've ever seen.

What was your favorite moment? the whole run we had in the early 90's. Listening on the radio while I played ball with my brothers. Sharing one walkman with 10 to 15 guys while at school functions so we could know what was going on in the playoffs. It was a special time that I can't wait to revisit with the current Blazers.

Current favorite player? Outlaw. (We're both from Mississippi!)

Favorite moment: I was at the Blazers game when LeBron got his first triple-double. Wait, I'm probably supposed to pick a good moment for the Blazers...okay, the Roy shot this week against Houston.

Re: Blazer Roll Call

How long have you been a fan?

Since the early 90s, I believe. Drexler was still there. I can't pinpoint the date, but I remember one of my Uncles gave me a Blazers bumper sticker that I put in my room when I was young. I remember thinking Portland was a fantastical place so far from home that it must have been cool. I lived in rural Missouri with no team to support and I liked the allure of a city so far from home. I would later move to Portland for a brief time and attend my first NBA game.

Who is your current favorite player?

Right now it has to be Brandon Roy, but I really want it to be Greg Oden. I am excited by Oden, but until he turns into the beast I think he can be, I'm keeping my fragile, often-broke sports heart with No. 7.

Who is your All Time favorite player?

Dunno... maybe Pete Maravich. But Drexler is up there as well as Darryl Dawkins (for his Chocolate Thunder poster I had as a kid), Dr. J, and lots of current Blazers.

What was your favorite moment?

As stupid as it sounds, probably the second the ping-pong balls gave us the #1 pick and the chance to pick Oden. No matter how it ends up that is when I was the most excited by the Blazers. I didn't follow closely enough when MJ was destroying us in the 90s and after that there are just a series of forgettable moments (and players)
 
Re: Blazer Roll Call

How long have you been a fan? Mid-seventies

Who is your current favorite Blazer? Brandon

Who is your All Time favorite Blazer? Bobby Gross + Bill Walton

What was your favorite moment? 10th grade...being at game 6 NBA Finals - watching and being a part of Blazermania - as we beat a really talented 76'er team for the Championship!

Second: When Portland received the 1st selection of the NBA Draft last year - ODEN. Give this boy two years and we may see another Championship Team in Portland! I'm really liking Batum and Rudy thus far. I thin Roy is out of sync as is Aldridge. Team needs chemistry to form. Team also needs a different half-court offense sets. Having Oden continue to come out high to set screens is not the answer! Send Aldridge out to set screens (pick and roll) as he can shoot from outside! Keep the giant under the baskett at all times! Not 100% sold on Nate as coach - although it is not for disliking the guy...I just think we need an assitant coach to serve as Offensive Coordinator? if you will.
 
Re: Blazer Roll Call

How long have you been a fan? Since 1971

Who is your current favorite player? Roy

Who is your All Time favorite player? Roy (his mental toughness seperates him from Drexler)

What was your favorite moment? The year before the Blazers won the title. It was the first NBA game I attended at Memorial Coliseum against the Warriors. Walton was not supposed to play, but I think after halftime Big Bill suited up and the Blazers went on to defeat the Warriors. I still recall the crowd going wild and stomping their feet. Good times. Hopefully those times return with titles.
 
Re: Blazer Roll Call

How long have you been a fan? Since I moved to Portland in '98

Who is your current favorite player? Brandon Roy

Who is your All Time favorite player? Bill Walton .. I know it didn't last long here, but he did manage to get a title, and I always seemed to end up next to him at Dead shows...

What was your favorite moment? The 2006 draft! It was at that moment I felt we'd really turned a huge corner...away from the Jailblazer era. Roy, Aldridge, Sergio, Raef's contract (which we have yet to see the benefit of...but will!), etc.
