The Trail Blazers played a regular season home game at McArthur Court in Eugene, Oregon on February 19, 1971, against the Cincinnati Royals.[5] Portland was defeated by Cincinnati, 102–109.[6]

Portland finished last in the Pacific Division with a record of 29–53 (.354).[4] Of the three expansion teams, their record was the best; with seven more wins than the Buffalo Braves and fourteen more than the Cavaliers.

Pre-season[edit]

The Trail Blazers convened their preseason camp on September 14, 1970. Sixteen players reported to camp, which was held in the gymnasium at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.[22] Pat Riley was unable to attend the camp due to the death in his father. Players reported to drills at 10 am and 4 pm.[23] The first players to be cut from camp were third round draft pick Bill Cain and Tim Robinson, who had played for the Harlem Globetrotters from 1961 to 1965.[24][25]
