April 11, 1976 - The @trailblazers closed out their sixth season with a road loss to the @SeattleSonics. #BillWalton led the #Blazers with 33 points while rookie @LionelHollins14 finished with a then career-best 25 points. Fellow rookie #BobbyGross added 20 points with #LarrySteele adding 9 points and tying Hollins with 8 assists. The foursome, and #LloydNeal who did not play due to an achilles issue, would be the only players to return for the following season. Playing in their final @NBA games were #DannyAnderson, #BarryClemens, #SteveJones, #LaRueMartin. All would be released prior to the conclusion of the 1976/77 training camp though #SteveHawes, who scored 15 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, would be traded to the @ATLHawks in August. He played another 8 years in the #NBA. #GeoffPetrie and #SidneyWicks each missed the game, Petrie with a knee injury and Wicks due to shin-splints after recently being in a car accident. The two players, who have scored 9,732 and 8,882 points, would both be traded during the summer. #RipCity #ThisDateinBlazersHistory #OTD

It was January 25, 2017 - It had been a couple of hard months for my boys and I but we were treated to the @trailblazers game through some divine intervention. The #Blazers were going to pay tribute to the 1977 championship team. #LarrySteele, #LloydNeal, #BobbyGross, #CorkyCalhoun, and #RobinJones were there for sure. I don't remember others there but I don't know. Obviously #BillWalton was there as well. People were lining up to have their pictures taken with the guys and the trophy. Soon a @ModaCenter employee, who was pretty adamant to not have anyone touch the trophy, was met by a booming voice, "Let them touch the trophy. We all won it. It belongs to everyone." Not sure what happened to that employee but Bill spoke and we were all very respectful to our trophy. I had seen it many times before in the office back in the day, but that was the day I realized Bill Walton was sharing it with us. #RIPCity #FareTheeWell
