The Portland Chinooks was a professional men's
NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers
.
Emmert, who bought the team due in part to his problems with the
Portland Reign
, did not escape problems with the Chinooks in his attempt to bring minor league hoops to Portland. His choice to have home games played at Portland's Eastmoreland Racquet Club created a furor among members, and forced the Chinooks to find a new venue for the team's second season (this decision was also influenced by the need for a larger venue).
The team was a strong success on the court, going 14–8 to grab third in the west. Lincoln Smith (24.1 ppg) and Kenny Tate (21.8 ppg) made the league's top 25 in scoring.
For 2006, the team reportedly pursued several venues, and played their home opener at the
Rose Garden on March 12. The team's scheduled venue for the 2014 season was the Eastmoreland Courts.[1]
Oregon Waves
The Oregon Waves was a team of the
Portland metropolitan area
after the folding of the charter IBL franchise Portland Chinooks.
