The Portland Trail Blazers best season came in their seventh season in the league. The NBA Draft gave the team their center, Bill Walton, in 1974 and the ABA dispersal draft in the summer before gave the team another star in power forward Maurice Lucas. The powerful front court gave the team a formidable 1-2 punch inside that led to a 49-33 season and the team’s first postseason appearance and the fans first chance to purchase Trail Blazers playoff tickets. That year Bill Walton was finally healthy after spending his first two seasons sidelined by a foot injury. Lucas was an enforcer and a scorer at the four spot, which freed up Walton to work his magic as an all around player. Dave Twardzik and Lionel Hollins were the backcourt on Coach Jack Ramsay’s Portland Trail Blazers. The team defeated the Bulls in the first round, and the Nuggets in the second before meeting the Lakers and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the conference finals. Walton dominated and the Blazers went to the NBA Finals to play the Philadelphia 76ers. Portland won four straight after losing the first two games of the best of seven series.

About The Portland Trail Blazers
Portland has not won an NBA title since, but they have come close. Clyde Drexler was the star of a run and gun Trail Blazers that competed for dominance in the Western Conference with the Los Angeles Lakers in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Drexler had help from point guard Terry Porter, forward Jerome Kersey, forward Buck Williams, and center Kevin Duckworth. Under the direction of Rick Adelman, Portland gave the fans Trail Blazer playoff tickets that went deep into the postseason. In 1990 and 1992, Portland reached the NBA Finals. The team met the Pistons and the Bulls though, and the dynasty teams put an end to the championship hopes.
This season the Portland Trail Blazers have a regular season schedule chalk full of Western Conference opponents. That schedule makes going to the postseason difficult, but the team is so talented that their youth and excitement could make Trail Blazers playoff tickets available for the first time in six seasons. Brandon Roy and La Marcus Aldridge have been putting up impressive numbers and great performances in the last two seasons, and this year they will be joined by Greg Oden. Oden was forced to sit out his rookie season with a right knee injury. Oden is a hyped center that fans hope ends up being more Bill Walton than Sam Bowie. Oden has shown a post presence and knows how to rebound and play defense. His performance in college only excited NBA executives even more, and this year he will show them what he has.
The Blazers postseason fate depends on more than just those three players. Brandon Roy became a combo guard last year, but should get some kind of help from the three potential starting point guards. Steve Blake is a solid bench player, but Jerryd Bayless and Sergio Rodriguez are young guys trying to learn one of the toughest positions in basketball. Bayless can be a little out of control, but his upside is incredible. Rodriguez has flashed greatness, but has not been able to play consistently enough to take the point away from Blake. One of these three has to emerge as the starter based on a great performance for Portland Trail Blazers playoff tickets to the Rose Garden to become a reality this season.
