User:Cremebetweens/2018–19 Portland Trail Blazers season

The 1994–95 NBA season was the 25th season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association. The Blazers 25th season was marked by change as they played their final season at the Memorial Coliseum with new head coach P.J. Carlesimo. The Blazers started their season defeating the Los Angeles Clippers in their first two games, which were played in Yokohama, Japan. The team got off to a 6–6 start, and played around .500 for the first half of the season, as Terry Porter only played just 35 games due to an ankle injury. Clyde Drexler averaged 22.0 points per game for the first half of the season, but was not selected for the All-Star Game. On February 14, with the Blazers out of serious contention for the championship, the team honored Drexler's request to be traded to a contender, sending him along with Tracy Murray to the defending NBA champion Houston Rockets in exchange for forward Otis Thorpe. The Rockets went on to win their second straight title defeating the Orlando Magic in four straight games, and Drexler's first ever championship.

The Blazers finished the season with a 44–38 record, fourth in the Pacific Division and seventh in the Western Conference. It was their 13th straight trip to the postseason. Clifford Robinson led the team in scoring averaging 21.3 points per game, while Rod Strickland provided the team with 18.9 points, 8.8 assists and 1.9 steals per game. Buck Williams contributed 9.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and Chris Dudley provided with 9.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. In the playoffs, the Blazers were swept in the Western Conference First Round by a 0–3 margin against the Phoenix Suns. Following the season, Thorpe was traded to the Detroit Pistons, Porter signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jerome Kersey left in the 1995 NBA Expansion Draft, and Mark Bryant signed with the Houston Rockets.
