Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? 21 years Who is your current favorite player? B Roy but if Oden can add some skills to his hilarious character he will pass Roy. Gotta love Oden the kid is a class act. Who is your All Time favorite player? Clyde Drexler is my all time favorite athlete What was your favorite moment? When Jordan hit his sixth out of six three pointers in 92 and shrugged in my face... oh wait that's Cliffy's favorite moment. Mine was a little earlier in that post season when we beat the Jazz to go to the finals.
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? since 89' when a friend and his father took me to a game. We sat across the aisle from the visitors bench, and I remember my buddy's dad getting in Karl Malone's grill. Who is your current favorite player? Vanilla Gorilla. That dude comes to work , everyday. Who is your All Time favorite player? Mercy Kersey. Another lunch-pail dude, that brought it every day too. What was your favorite moment? I don't have a fave moment, I have a moment that I can remember all too well: The implosion in the 4th quarter against the Lakers. I'm hoping that memory can end within the next decade...
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? Long time Sonic fan, got more interest in the Blazerswhen Coach Nate was hired by the Blazers.

Payton,Dennis Johnson,Wilkens, Kemp, Shrempf, What was your favorite moment? Sonics winning the trophy in 79'
Re: Blazer Roll Call DITTO. Actually a fan since 1972. Was in the Coliseum on June 5th 1977! Bill Walton, Bobby Gross were my favorites then. Became a fan of Billy Ray Bates (the Legend) for one season...never thought Clyde played up to his abilities. Hard not to like Jerome Kersey, Brian Grant, Danny Ainge.... but my favorite Blazer of all time (yes, after three short years) is Brandon Roy! I moved from Portland about two years ago - up to Vancouver, BC. Try to watch as much on Justin.TV as I can (sucks, but I we can't get League Pass up here yet!). I subscribe to NBA TV/ Raptors Station....and just hate the Raptors! But get some games at least. Looking forward to this season. I do think we should make a trade sooner than later. I see serious log jams and potential malcontents in Playless and Trout. We need Wallace from Charlotte! Bayless + Outlaw + #1 pick for Wallace? Meh, never gonna happen...just wish it could. Like what we've done this past few weeks with Eme and Howard. I think we may have had more success last year with these guys on the pine! Miller may prove to be a great addition too - time will tell.
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? Since I was 14. Who is your current favorite player? L-Train Who is your All Time favorite player? the Glide What was your favorite moment? Falling into the row in front of me, knocking down roughly 17 people @ game 3 of the 02 playoffs.
Re: Blazer Roll Call True Story!! I saw the whole thing happen and the first guy he knocked over was at least 70 years old!!! Then Robert Horry proceeded to hit a 3 to sweep us out of the playoffs even though we had the lead right before the 3
Re: Blazer Roll Call I was at that game as well. Pippen missed a free throw that would have at least forced overtime with a three. After the time-out, the three guys in front of us turned around and faced us. I said "what the hell are you doing? This is for the game!". One guy said "we know, we can't watch the three ball that's about to go in". Goddamn if they weren't right. After the shot went in, they just calmly gathered their coats and headed towards the exit.
Re: Blazer Roll Call I still recall that. And I recall the moment Epic Fail... Epically Failed lol Pip shot a 3 went off front rim and Sheed caught it one handed mid air and cocked back and Threw it DOWN!! We All got up to cheer and Epic's foot got caught on the chair in front of him. I saw out of the corner of my eye, a dude in red and black face paint STILL IN CHEERING POSITION, in mid air. And I thought to myself "Check out this dipwit falling... OH CRAP! THATS MY RIDE!!!" He fell on an old dude and a domino effect of about 4 rows of fans tumbled! Epic being in shock or something... I pulled him up back one row, and the old dude got up and wanted to fight him! LOL!!! I remember it not being funny at the time, then Horry hit the 3... but the whole Max ride back to Lloyd Center I could not stop laughing!!! Good times.. good times!
Re: Blazer Roll Call That was one of those moments, when I was falling, that I had time to think: "This is all a bad dream. I'm going to wake up any second now." Oh well, at least my first Blazer game was a memorable one...

Re: Blazer Roll Call 1. Since the beginning 2. Brandon Roy 3. Maurice Lucas 4. When the final buzzer sounded during the last game when we won the championship. 5. Am I a current season ticket holder? Yes, continuously since 1970 and damned proud of it.
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? Since June 12th, 1987 (The day I was born.) Who is your current favorite player? Brandon Roy Who is your All Time favorite player? Tie between Clyde Drexler and Brandon Roy (Roy will most definitely win out one of these days.) What was your (current) favorite moment? "Here's Blake to Roy... This is for the win... YES!!!" - Marv Albert (30 footer to beat Houston, always puts a smile on my face.)
Re: Blazer Roll Call How long have you been a fan? As long as I can remember (early 70's). Who is your current favorite player? Brandon Roy, Nicolas Batum Who is your All Time favorite player? Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter What was your favorite moment? Seeing them win the championship in '77...not live, but on a crappy black & white tv in a cabin at Mt Hood (foil covered rabbitt ears and all). Loved the runs in the early 90's too.
Re: Blazer Roll Call G'day Gents, just joined from a little country called Papua New Guinea, north of Australia. Still an Australian citizen, but living here for work. Huge Blazers fan, been following for around five years or so, pretty much since Roy joined.
