To the surprise of no one, the two playoff runs that feature the most prominently on the list are the Trail Blazers' two Western Conference Finals runs this century, in 2000 and 2019.

Game 2 of the former series was a highlight of Rasheed Wallace's eight seasons in Portland, tying up the series with the Lakers after a Game 1 loss.
