special night.
It was Clyde D rexler’ s special
night. The man couldn’ t do anything
wrong on Sunday. By halftim e Drex­
ler had 29 points! To say he couldn’ t
miss would not be much o f an over­
statement. He was 10 fo r 13 from the
field, and six fo r seven at the charity
line. The three pointers were falling
too. He popped three long ones! By the
time the h alf tim e buzzer blew, Clyde
had already outscored his season per
game average o f 23.5, by pounding in
29 points. D rexler ended up the night
w ith 48 points. That equals his January
22nd, 1989 performance against New
York. Its only two short o f his all-tim e
high scoring game against Sacramento.
That game on January 6th 1989 had 2

You can always count on Clyde
Drexler to give you the straight scoop
on the Portland Trailblazer situation.
He doesn’t bob and weave. On or o ff
the court, Clyde just drives straight to
the hoop w ith the truth. “ The W a rri­
ors played w ell, but we helped them a
lo t.” The Blazers d id n ’t really need to
give Golden State much help. They
came into Portland leading the N B A in
scoring. Clyde said, “ We have not
played w ell this season, except for a
few games. O ur concentration comes
and goes.” The Blazers played a good
game for 46 minutes. Unfortunately,
the game lasted 48 minutes. “ W e’ ve
got to make ourselves concentrate
more,” Drexler continued. “ W e’re
not thinking as a team. We made some
plays, that I could only describe as
boneheaded, and its hard to live with.
The San Antonio game was not
“ hard to live w ith .” The Spurs went
down B ig Time... 111-116. The Blaz­
ers came out hot! They h it four o f the
first five from the field. When the
team downed the first nine straight
free throws, the fans and the San A nto­
nio Spurs knew they were in for a

overtime periods. G e off Petrie twice
in his career scored 51 points. Petrie,
the Trailblazers all-tim e one game
scoring leader stopped by the locker
room after the game. Clyde was three
deep in reporters. It was his night.
Clyde Drexler just seems to be
the kind o f player who makes things
happen when they need to be done.
The bench was not going to be on top
o f their game Sunday, as it turned out.
They were outscored 41 to 18. Their
concentration was probably broken
down a little , because like the crowd,
it was hard to see anything but Drex­
le r’ s performance. The defense from
the bench d id a good jo b , even i f they
didn’ t score a lot. C lif f Robinsin must
have gone 40" vertical on his first
blocked shot. Robert “ Big Easy” Pack
was his usual smothering self. The
.'/ri1?/:
hustle that the rookie exhibits must
really come as an unpleasant surprise
to some o f the opposing players who
are complacent to ju s t plaly at the
fame and collect a paycheck. No wonder
this town is so “ Pack man” crazy.
The Blazers are 8-5 on the season
now that they avenged their 119-93
setback in San Antonio on November
6th. Portland is now an even 5-5 against
Western conference teams. There are
three games left in this, the longest
homestand o f the season. The w in
Sunday night assured the Blazers o f
th e irl4 th consecutive month w ith a
w inning record.
Clyde Drexler, had his night Sun­
day night. That is the kind o f night that
inspires the fans. It w ill undoubtedly
inspire the rest o f the team too. You
can always count on Clyde.

Just because you’ve sailed away
on a cruise vacation, you don t have
to miss an important business call,
family celebration or communica­
tion with friends. Most cruise ships
now offer their passengers public
credit card phones. The system
works just like the public phones
you use on shore.
And family and friends can also
call you on board ship or dictate a
message for you. For dialing in­
structions, call 1-800-MARISAT ( 1-
800-627-4728).
