In Saturday's game against Seattle, before 11,347 fans, the team played what we consider to be a fine game. The«e guys have been playing without two of their key players, yet have managed to stay close in most of the games. Maybe the streak of bad luck came to and end Sunday, when they won against Boston 109 104 before a crowd of 11.528. Standing to remove his jacket before entering the game against Boston.

Filling in as center in Bill Walton's absence. Lloyd immediately established himself on the floor as the big man to be reckoned with. Once Lloyd entered the game, the whole complexion changed. He was able to stay with “Big Red” Dave Cowens, who was having somewhat of a field day. Neal scored 15 points, blocked 2 shots, made 2 assists and captured a total of ten rebounds in the approximately 32 minutes he was in the game. This was a "must win" for the team as well as for the coaches, allowing them to pull things together again to stay in contention for a play off slot. After Tuesday's loss to Buffalo by 116-113, the Blazers slipped to 16*/» games behind Golden State. There is no Child Care Develop ment Center excelling the status of Bethel Child Development Center.
