The Portland Trail Blazers are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon that competes in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. The team played its home games in the Memorial Coliseum before moving to the Moda Center in 1995 (called the Rose Garden until 2013). The franchise entered the league as an expansion team in 1970, and has enjoyed a strong following: from 1977 through 1995, the team sold out 814 consecutive home games, the longest such streak in American major professional sports at the time, and which has only since been surpassed by the Boston Red Sox and the Dallas Mavericks.[1] The Trail Blazers are the only NBA team based in the Pacific Northwest, after the Vancouver Grizzlies relocated to Memphis and became the Memphis Grizzlies in 2001 and the Seattle SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.

The team has advanced to the NBA Finals three times, winning the championship once in 1977. They are the only team in NBA history to win a championship in a franchise's first-ever visit to the postseason. Their other Finals appearances were in 1990 and 1992.[2][3]

As of the end of the 2022–23 season, the Blazers have an all-time record of 2,271 wins and 2,006 losses in the regular season, with an additional 119 wins and 155 losses in the playoffs. The team has had 32 winning seasons, 18 losing seasons, and three seasons with a 41–41 record. The Blazers have qualified for the NBA playoffs 37 times, including a streak of 21 straight playoff appearances from 1983 through 2003.
