    Thanks 10. I remember that video from those season recap tapes they used to do. I wonder if anyone actually has the entire quarter on a tape or something. Leading 49-18, and going 22-25 in one quarter is insane.

    I have never seen the locker room celebration. If anyone has it, share it somehow.

    It is sad...for you. If 1977 proved anything, it was that a true team could beat a collection of superstars. Individually, the L*kers would be considered the better team. However, as Jack Ramsay showed, a team will beat a group of individuals every time.

    Want more proof?

    That's partially true. When he left, there was a lot of bitterness. However, I had the chance to talk to him in the mid-90s and he said that those feelings were gone and he realized in retrospect how special that team, that city and Blazermania was.

    That's because Big Bill was the sixth man on that amazing '86 team. Big Red was THE GUY on our 1977 team. He was the game's first point center. His passing ability out of the post has only been rivaled by another Blazer, Arvydas Sabonis.

    There's no way the locker room celebration could surpass the excitement of the 1977 Kemper Open. :angry:

    Even funnier is that Luke Walton pretty much was the Jellybean Bryant of this L*kers team.

    If you have the locker room interviews that CBS would not air because the were pissed off at Harry Glickman, please post it for us. I've always appreciated to get good stuff onto You Tube. Well done and keep it coming.

    Hey Big Q... do you have the 5/11/92 game against the Suns by any chance? That was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen. Do you remember the game I'm talking about (double OT, final score 151 to 153)?

    Maybe a mod would like to sticky a thread where we can dump a bunch of Blazers related videos/links that we have to share and can be stored in one place. Also, for those of us that have game tapes/dvd's, we can list them and share them. Eventually someone will appear with the locker room celebration that was pre-empted by the Kemper Open.
