    I am beside myself. A terribly sad day. Thank you Paul for everything you have done for the Blazers. You will be sorely missed.

    RIP, Paul Allen.

    You kept the team together after purchasing the Blazers. I have many fond memories of our team making it to the finals twice during the early 90s. Great memories.

    Wow! His body has been through a lot, but I didn't expect him to pass so soon. He never got to see his blazers win a title though we came so close many times. Now who runs the team? Will team be sold?

    Man...

    Wind officially out of my sails today.

    Thanks, Paul, and Rest In Peace.

    And win a title in his honor, Blazers!

    Very sad and unexpected news... so terrifying that even with billions of dollars you still can’t beat cancer.
