As part o f pregam e cerem onies
last Thursday night, the Portland Trail
Blazers, retired num ber 77 in honor o f
former Blazer coach Dr. Jack Ram say.
After Ram say ’s thank you speech
and a standing ovation, his nam e and
number suspended from the coliseum
rafters, not only in representation o f
the Hall o f Fam e coach, b ut also o f the
organization at the tim e.
“The num ber 77 represents m ore
than the year we w on the cham pion­
ship,” said R am say. “ It represents the
w hole organization at the tim e.”
Now the color analyst for the
Miami Heat, Jack was clearly em o ­
tional over the honor and co u ld n ’t say
enough about his form er players.
“They were a great bunch o f guy s,”
said Ramsay. “T hey w ere a very easy
team to coach.”
The cerem onies m ight have been
the highlight o f the night if the Heat
hadn’t com eback to put the gam e into
over-tim e.Inthe 104-93 overtim e win,
the Heat ju st hung around until the
Blazers gave them a chance to close
the gap. T erry Porter, w ith five three
pointers and a team high 32 points,
carried the B lazers through another
sub-par shooting night at 37 percent.
Brian Shaw h it a clutch 10-footer

in a poor perform ance, closed out
regulation play w ith 87 points, a sea­
son low. T he good new s w as there was

tim e to win a gam e they co u ld n ’t give
away.
T he Blazers cam e alive in over­
tim e hitting six o f eight shots and
scoring 17 points, tw o m ore than the
w hole second quarter, to ice the H eat
for the victory. A lthough the Blazers
outside shooting w as cold, the critical
foul line was hot. As a team the B laz­
ers sank 27-28 (96% ), a season high
percentage, from the foul line.
The Blazers are an N BA best (40-
1) against the four expansion team s,
w ith their sole loss com ing at hom e
against the M innesota Tim berw olves
in 1990.
W ith their starting five back in
place, the Blazers should be able to
beat team s they’re supposed to, like
M iam i and M innesota, and fair well
against the elite team s such as P h o e­
nix and Utah.
