They were charter members of the [International Basketball League](/source/International_Basketball_League) and began play in the league in 2004. The team was owned by local businessman [Terry Emmert](/source/Terry_Emmert). They played their home games at various locations since their inception, including the [Peter Stott Center](/source/Peter_Stott_Center), the [Rose Garden](/source/Rose_Garden_(arena)), and at Eastmoreland Courts in southeast Portland. The team colors of red and black were shared with their predecessors from the [NBA](/source/NBA), the [Portland Trail Blazers](/source/Portland_Trail_Blazers). Emmert, who bought the team due in part to his problems with the [ABA](/source/American_Basketball_Association_(21st_century))'s [Portland Reign](/source/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](/source/Rose_Garden_(arena)) 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 [International Basketball League](/source/International_Basketball_League) set to begin play for the 2009 season. Based in [Beaverton](/source/Beaverton%2C_Oregon), the Waves play at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA. The Waves are the second IBL franchise in the [Portland metropolitan area](/source/Portland_metropolitan_area) after the folding of the charter IBL franchise Portland Chinooks. ## Standings Regular Season Year Wins Losses Percentage League Division 2005 14 8 .636 5th - IBL 3rd - West Division 2006 9 11 .450 15th - IBL 9th - West Division 2007 20 7 .785 3rd - IBL 1st - West Division Overall 43 26 .622 ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Portland Chinooks"](http://www.ibl.com/portland_chinooks/). *IBL Teams*.
