McGinnis,Bibbi and World BFree all shot below .4 for the series..Doc averaged 30 with .54 shooting..there was anarticle in WP explaining why the Sixers couldnt be champions in such toxic locker room ,way before the finals, where everyone wantedd to be the superstar first option and get more play time and the coach was jelly incompetent to take the egos and make a team..Doc was really unlucky landing on the sixers..he deserved this ring and a better team around him,a better back office that could understand how to build ateam around the best player of the league and a coach who could coach..
My first year following the NBA and my 76ers. A heartbreaking loss to Portland but I also appreciate the team effort by the Blazers to fight there way back for the title. The one thing I believe Julius was missing was the competitive nature to get teammates settled and holding the players accountable for doing their job at hand. They were very talented but just couldn’t get it together. Bill Walton was a huge factor as well. One of the All Time best in the paint hands down. Thanks for posting this video.
Loyalty has expiration: dame time Walton: what a lame excuse, watch me and how we live through against the 76 ers A super team, it ain't dame time it was the trailblazers who won. You know there is no "I" IN A TEAM. DAME TIME: I KNOW BUT I ACTUALLY KNOW THERE'S AN "M" "E" IN IT…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went down town on my Harley, and it was 100% SHEER grid lock ALL day every street, absolutely couldn't move all day anywhere. Rode on sidewalks to escape the craziness. Will say this, Dr "J" was spectacular . that guy made the team!!!
Dr. J showed out and was sensational!! Bill Walton was spectacular before his numerous injuries. Portland upset Philly in this series. Sixers on paper were the better team! Notice that in 1977, there was no three point line! The game has really changed!
The 1976-1977 were arguably Dr. J's greatest years in the NBA and the prime of his career. He was beginning to put on more muscle and was more intelligent as a playmaker and midrange scorer, while retaining his athleticism and finishing from his ABA days.

Sixers blew 2-0 lead 😖
Go blazers
It's nice that Walton won one as ' the Man' and as a 6th man.
Walton, part of that Wooden juggernaut. Amazing to see.
I really wish dame gets a championship like the legendary bill Walton
Walton n Doc were amazing. What a dynasty the blazers could have had.
Incredible series. Dr. Jack leading the way as coach of a true team in the Blazers. And the high flying 76ers.
Like it was yestetday.
76ers had the the greatest unis ever. I was 11 and heart broken when the Sixers lost 4 in a row to Portland.
Man this should have been a championship for philly
👍🏾😃🏀🖐🏾
Heavy favorites and up 2-0, this one has to sting for the Doc. Walton's finest hour as a pro.
The 76'ers did not shut down the back door play and that's how they lost the finals.
Why to McGinnis? Never understood that. Dr. J was playing in God Mode that series and they go to George.
what a game

The 76ers lost to the Blazers in the finals because the former depended more on individual plays than planned teamwork.
And at that time the Sixers had no dependable court general like Mo Chheks and Andrew Toney for ball distribution.
Everything gelled when Moses Malone gave the Sixers a rebounding edge in 1983.
45 years later, Blazers are still waiting for another title 🙁
How did portland win 4 straight games in a row against the best team(at that time) assembled on paper? Huh
Walton was such a threat on the defensive end. he gets the stop and with his passing ability can just gun down the court.
Walton woofed on Doc😂😂😂
I was one year old
