    Thirty-six years ago today the Trail Blazers won the 1977 NBA Championship, defeating the 76ers 109-107 in Game 6. #RipCity

    Its sad that I am beginning to hope to see one in my lifetime

    And we've been so painfully close to a number of others.

    Not really.

    1990. Blazers were too young and lucky that the Lakers lost early in the West playoffs. Detroit murdered them.

    1992. Michael Jordan. I need not say more.

    2000? Yes, the Blazers would have snotfucked the Pacers, but... that's not what Der Fuhrer Stern wanted. Kobe, alley oop to Shaq... dagger in the heart.

    Well, we did miss something like 13 straight shots in the fourth quarter. I don't think we can blame Stern for that.

    And several blatant non-called fouls, any of which would have broken the Lakers momentum and allowed Portland to kill the crowd and secure the game.

    It's to the point where remember our championship, so long ago, is kind of depressing me.

    Now that's how you square up to fight someone. Not like these pussies today who pretend they are going to fight while they are running away looking for their mommies.

    We got ref-fucked in that game. Shaq crushing Steve Smith to the floor on the breakaway (no call) and the look on Smith's face will forever be burned into my memory. Also everyone forgets the Refs also stole the last game in Portland from us. I will always know we were rightful champions that year. Out of the "threepeat" the Fake Show only deserved the second one. Fucking Stern. I hope he does not rest in peace.
