Been a fan since nearly the first game. Geoff Petri days. I think Webster has the potential to be able to shoot like he did. They used to set double picks for Petri and he just kept knocking them down. Yet I reminice too much.
That chapionship year was really something.
The next year started out like a house of fire and Lloyd Neal was just sensational. Then he got hurt and I believe Walton was allready hurt and there went the season.
They just never could recover and get healthy enough.
My memory is perrty sketchy but Walton began to blame everyone but himself and his diet for his problems (he was a vegitarian). They were poetry in motion when they were on though. It was sad as they began to breakup.
We are on the verge of something similar again with our stable of young guns now. If they were to play the same kind of unselfish ball that chapmionship team did this team can be every bit as good.
Go Blazers.
