After entering the NBA as an expansion team in 1970, the Portland Trail Blazers blazed a trail to the championship title in seven years. The 1976-77 team was coached by Jack Ramsay and led by center Bill Walton. The Trail Blazers have had only three losing seasons since then and have made the playoffs 18 consecutive times, but without another championship. With Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Jerome Kersey, and Buck Williams, the team made the NBA Finals twice between 1989 and 1992. The team continues to blaze new trails in its 20,000-seat Rose Garden arena under the ownership of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
