@tlongII comments about things feeling like it happened "yesterday" got me thinking about what I do and don't remember.

And weirdly my youtube "suggested videos" had the following video.




I, for the life of me, had zero memory of that game or Clyde being tossed.

In the 1990 playoffs I don't remember any road games cept game 6 against Phoenix and games 1 and 2 against Detroit.

Weren't those games on Koin/CBS?

What are some historical moments in Blazer history you've forgotten (not to be confused with memories you'd LIKE to forget)?
 
There was that one where that player did this and the official did that and that guy got tossed.... remember it like yesterday.
 
I also refuse to remember that in early March of 2001, the Blazers had a record of 42-18, in the #1 seed spot of the Western Conference by 1.5 games, and was tearing up the league. Then they lost a horrible fucking game to the Vancouver Grizzlies which sent the team into a tailspin to finish the year 8-14, the #7 seed, and a first round sweep by the Fucking Lakers.

Night we retired Clyde’s jersey. And I believe the return of Strickland to Portland.
 
Anyone else remember Porter getting body slammed by Kevin Johnson ... and TP got called for the tech? I wonder if that ever made it on youtube.

I still think that retiring Clyde's jersey somehow cursed us. I'm not saying he didn't deserve to have his jersey retired but he was wanting to be remembered as a Houston Rocket at that point which is still a bit irritating.

We signed Rod Strickland and Detlef Schrempf that day. Schrempf was awful. Strickland was okay but it messed up the chemistry for sure.

Maybe I should just edit it to put "spoiler" tags around that abomination.
 
Buck Williams grabbing the clutch rebound against the Suns to send us to the Finals and the team pouncing on him while he rolls on the ground with the ball.
 
I had forgotten about some of the Jail Blazer Stuff, till I read Kerry Eggers book. I think my brain to protect itself had blacked that shit out. But, then I read the book...Jesus... It was well written and all that, but the reminder of what our team became for a decade plus...I wish I could forget again.
 
We had a regular season game against the Bulls in 77 or 78 where we came back in the final seconds. I think Lionel Hollins made a miraculous shot or something. I'd like to see that video again.

Lenny Wilkens got fired and said "watch Walton will be healthy and they'll win all".
Of course a few new additions from the ABA (Mo&Pinball) helped.

I was at The Portland Jewish community center (public was able to attend free) where the blazers had their fall camp when Luke came into the gym and was shaking hands with all the coaches and such.
They used this PJCC for a number of years for practice's. Moses was there too but didn't dress own.
