The 1990-91 Trail Blazers have advanced to the Semifinal Round of SB Nation’s bracket of the best NBA teams that came up just short of winning a title. The Blazers, who entered the field as the No. 6, remain as the clear underdog left in the competition (according to seeding).
Clyde Drexler and his crew of Rip City legends narrowly advanced past the 2011-12 Thunder. SB Nation’s Mike Prada discussed the matchup, which included a tightly-contested seven-game simulation on WhatifSports. Regardless of losing their grip a 3-1 lead in the simulation, the fan vote pushed the Blazers over the top.
