Foo Chee, your time in the spotlight is up. You lost buddy. The CDC has no legal authority to dictate to the public. It never did. Crawl back under your rock.

After the ABA folded the Blazers picked up Moses Malone, Maurice Lucas and Dave Twardzik.
Blazers could have had a young Moses Malone playing with Bill Walton.
Owner was a cheap ass and wouldn’t pay Moses Malone to stay.
Lenny Wilkins coached Blazers in 1976 and went to Seattle Supersonics as Coach the following year.
In 1977, Coach (Dr.) Jack Ramsey coached the Trailblazers to their one and only NBA Championship (Bill Walton, Maurice Lucas, Bobby Gross, Dave Twardzik, Lionel Hollins, Larry Steele et al) by beating Dr. J. and the Philadelphia 76ers. -
So was Dan Issel. I saw him play in the Kingdome for Denver when I was a kidKaepsknee said:

Bill Walton was the perfect center. Best player in the league for 2 seasons. No foot problems and Bill would have won many championships and gone down as one of the best ever. That team played the best team ball I have ever seen.trublue said:After the ABA folded the Blazers picked up Moses Malone, Maurice Lucas and Dave Twardzik.

Maurice Lucas was an asshole. Twardzik as well but no one was as bad as Lucas, saw that up close and person a couple times.
Saw Artis Gilmore in GI Joe's in Milwaukee OR decades ago. One intimidating dude.
That Seattle team a year later with Downtown and Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson, Sikma, etc was fun to watch as well. -
The blazer season following their title was maybe their best ever, until Walton was injured. They were cruising along with the NBA’s best record. They were unstoppable and headed for another title, or four.Bendintheriver said:

What do you mean by Lucas and Twardzik were assholes? Do you mean on the court or in personal life? My dad was friends with Maurice and I don't recall him ever being an asshole. He seemed like a really nice man. I recall Dave Twardzik attending church in LO but I didn't know him personally. He seemed like a pretty good man.Bendintheriver said:

Been watching Lakers Tim on HBO. I really wish I hadn't been 7 years old in 1980. @RaceBannon I envy you and all that unshaved pussy you must have been rolling in from 1977-1985. I still put together a good run from 1988-2018, but that late 70's early 80's cocaine partying looks like pretty much the best shit ever.
