    I hope he was able to watch the game last night. They said he passed in his sleep. It's always sad when someone goes, but if he watched that game and then fell asleep and passed, I bet he died with a smile on his face.

    RIP Dr. Jack.

    I'm going to work today wearing plaid pants (yes, I proudly own plaid pants).

    Spritually, I am agnostic. On nights like last night, however, I can't help but think that we had a little help from the man upstairs. Dr. Jack left this world with the legacy that his Blazers played Ramsay ball last night and came out on top.

    Thank you, Coach Ramsay. You were so much more to this city than a basketball coach.

    He's well before my time, but his passing was the first thing I saw on twitter as I woke up this morning. Sad news-- I hope the team honors him in some manner.

    I lost my father at much too young of an age about a week and a half ago and now Dr. Jack. My heart aches. RIP to both!

    Same here. Weird. I always hoped he'd see another Blazers trophy.

    I met Dr. Jack when I worked at the Rusty Pelican in the early 80's. He was a very a nice man. R.I.P.
