47! I was sitting (with my Dad, Mom, brother and good friend) in the Memorial Colliseum in 1977 (I was in 10th grade!) when the Blazers won it all. We thought we were starting a string of 5 Championships back then..and one year later (when our record was an unbelievalbe 58-10, Bill Walton broke his foot). Then Bobby Gross broke his! And the "dynasty" was quickly over. All of this "Just Bake it" campaign is not a reality. We actually BEAT the so-called Dynasty Team of Dr. J, George McGinnis, et al. And we learned all about it ourselves the very next year when Walton went down-for good (in a Blazer uniform). Make a key trade KP!!!! Then "WIN IT"
I lived and worked in Auckland this summer/your winter...watched the draft online. The only place in town I found to play hoops was down at the Univ of Auckland rec center. I'm 32, too.
Yes, because if there was ever a place to find them that lived close to my area it would be the S2 Blazers forum ...actually some of you act like girls sometimes...
