About The Portland Trail Blazers
Beginning life as a new franchise in 1970, the Blazers have been the only professional sports team franchise in the state, and will continue to be so until 2011, when Major League Soccer will bring a team to the city. What's for certain is that that team will be hard-pressed to duplicate sales similar to those that have been created when Portland Trail Blazers tickets go on sale every season. This is because a strong history of winning by the Blazers -- who have enjoyed the services of at least four NBA Hall of Famers including Clyde "The Glide" Drexler and Bill Walton, among others -- has been the norm.
The Trail Blazers have also benefited from the services of two Hall of Fame coaches in former player Lenny Wilkens and Dr. Jack Ramsay, both of whom have widely been acknowledged to be basketball geniuses of the first rank. Portland Trail Blazers tickets have always been a desirable item for people to have up been the Rose City. Adding to this legacy of NBA excellence have been two NBA Coaches of the Year in Mike Dunleavy and Mike Schuler.
Even though the Blazers started life as an expansion team in 1970, their growth under Jack Ramsay continued steadily and there were a number of postseason playoff appearances culminating in their dominant 1997 postseason, one in which a ton of Portland Trail Blazers tickets were sold and the team brought home the NBA championship. To go from nothing to a champion in only seven seasons is quite remarkable in the NBA.
The 1980s continued to be a time when the Trail Blazers are quite frequent visitors to the NBA postseason tournament, selling many Portland Trail Blazers tickets along with the dreams of another NBA championship. Stellar play from the likes of future basketball legends Terry Porter and Clyde Drexler would help to keep the team up in the ranks of the NBA's first division and even, on a couple of occasions, the elite.
It would all come together once again for the team in 1990 when, led by the fantastic play of Drexler, they would reach the NBA finals for a second time, giving the Detroit Pistons all they could handle before finally conceding defeat, though not without a real fight. The following year, the team would up the intensity even more, winning a record 63 games. They would follow that super season up with another trip to the NBA finals in 1992, selling record numbers of Portland Trail Blazers tickets.
The years since has seen the team have its share of ups and downs, though the ups have been far more frequent than the downs and playoff appearances were still something that could be counted upon on occasion, and strong sales of Portland Trail Blazers tickets were still expected from their many enthusiastic fans. The end of 2007 would see the team improve by 11 wins over the year previous and 2008 would see the Blazers take home 41 wins, their best since the end of 2004. 2009 would see them return to the playoffs riding the strong play of Brandon Roy and center Greg Oden.
Through a series of trades and strategic moves by the front office, the team expects that sales of Portland Trail Blazers tickets will be extremely strong due to the team’s strong prospects for going deep into the postseason. Spaniard Rudy Fernandez- a stellar guard- and Brandon Roy promise to deliver many a night of hot shooting excitement.
