Love those Blazers. Having recently arrived here from
Portland, I can attest to the fact that those 12 guys who, "just
happen to play basketball," as Walton would put it, have
brilliantly succeeded in turning on an entire city. And
judging from early indications, I'd have to say that
repercussions of the electricity being generated at Memorial
.Coliseum are being felt quite strongly here in my new home.
I had the pleasure of attending a party for 12,000 a couple of
weeks ago at the MC when the Blazers sent the Nuggets
spinning in bewilderment back to the Rockies.
There's something special about hearing an arena choir,
shouting a refrain of "Luke," guide one of the big man's
double-pump jumpers through the net.
Or watching Johnny D. make a lightning-quick steal at
mid-court and barely touch the floor on his way to a
sweeping, glass-rattling slam dunk.
Or the Chief himself, threading the needle with passes
calling for the precision of a watchmaker and the timing of
the finest chronometer in the shop.
Or Lionel, floating all over the court, controlling the action
with such intensity and poise it appears he's been doing it
forever.
Or the list goes on and on.
That was the game when Johnny D. was given his first
starting shot and almost made everyone forget about the guy
with the funny last name. Almost, but not quite. All year long,
Twardzik was one of the most consistent performers in the
game of basketball.
Until Lionel started coming on like gang busters, it was
Twardzik who set the pace and made the Blazers click.
When a mangled ankle set him down, there was someone
else on deck to take his place.
And that's the way it is with this team everybody gets a
piece of the action. No Marquette star system on this club,
thank you.
Gilliam comes off the bench to throw in 10 of 12. Neal and
Jones fill up the middle in fine style. Wally tosses in some
timely beauties. BG roars out of the pack on occasion.
Each game it's a different face, but the story's the same.
Just ask the Bulls, Nuggets and Lakers who they're picking
in the finals.
You can have Jabbar going one-on-one with the Western
Conference. Or Dr. J. giving the Philly dunk junkies a fix now
and then (a sight to behold nonetheless ) . Or David Thompson
blasting off while the rest of the Nuggets run and hide. It may
be exciting, but it doesn't win games.
Team ball is where it's at and the Blazers know it.
Bring on those 76'ers or bring on those Rockets, it doesn't
matter, those Blazers are Red Hot and Rollin'.
