NBA professional basketball team season
The 1981–82 season was the 12th season of the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[ 1] The Blazers finished 42–40, dropping three games more than in the previous season.
Portland finished eighth in the Western Conference; as only six teams qualified in each conference for the 1982 NBA Playoffs , the Blazers did not participate in the postseason. This would be the only year the Blazers missed the playoffs between their championship season of 1976–77 and 2002–03 .
Note: This is not a complete list; only the first two rounds are covered, as well as any other picks by the franchise who played at least one NBA game.
