[edit] 1980 and 1981 NBA Finals
Here are some notes on CBS and tape-delay of the 1980 and 1981 NBA Finals.
1980 Lakers-Sixers (CBS)
- Game 1 Sun 5/4 in LA live (in afternoon)
- Game 2 Wed 5/7 in LA live at 11:30 eastern
- Game 3 Sat 5/10 in Phi live (in afternoon)
- Game 4 Sat 5/11 in Phi live (in afternoon)
- Game 5 Wed 5/14 in LA live at 11:30 eastern
- Game 6 Fri 5/16 in Phi tape-delay at 11:30 eastern
Note: CBS would have shown game 7 live on Sun afternoon 5/18 had the series gone the distance.
Summary for 1980 Finals: one tape-delay game, but two of the live games were at 11:30 eastern
1981 Celtics-Rockets (CBS)
- Game 1 Tue 5/5 in Bos tape-delay at 11:30 eastern
- Game 2 Thu 5/7 in Bos tape-delay at 11:30 eastern
- Game 3 Sat 5/9 in Hou live (in afternoon)
- Game 4 Sun 5/10 in Hou live (in afternoon)
- Game 5 Tue 5/12 in Bos tape-delay at 11:30 eastern
- Game 6 Thu 5/14 in Hou tape-delay at 11:30 eastern
Note: CBS would have shown game 7 live on Sun afternoon 5/17 had the series gone the distance.
Summary for 1981 Finals: four tape-delay games
Note: In both years, CBS scheduled games 3 and 4 on back-to-back days (Sat/Sun) to avoid an extra tape-delay game. TMC1982 April 21, 2006
[edit] "Number 2" Announcing Teams
Don Criqui and Steve "Snapper" Jones were the #2 team in 1975-1976 and 1976-1977.
In 1989, Brent Musburger and Bill Raftery were the #2 crew on playoff games. They did the Western Conference Finals games that were broadcast on CBS.
In 1990, Verne Lundquist was #2 play-by-play man (presumably alongside Bill Raftery) on the NBA Playoffs and in fact, did Game 7 of the East Finals (Chicago v. Detroit).
[edit] Lead Announcing Teams History
- 1973/74 Pat Summerall pxp, Elgin Baylor, Hot Rod Hundley (Baylor was
fired during the playoffs and replaced by Rick Barry)
- 1974/75 Brent Musburger and Oscar Robertson
- 1975/76 Brent Musburger and Mendy Rudolph
- 1976/77 through 1979/80 Brent Musburger worked with a variety of
analysts, including Billy Cunningham, Mendy Rudolph, Rod Hundley and Rick Barry
- 1980/81-Gary Bender, Rick Barry, Bill Russell-This was the crew they
used in response to NBC's college trio of Dick Enberg, Billy Packer and Al McGuire. If did not work out and Bender moved on to NCAA b-ball the next year when CBS got the rights.
- 1981/82 and 1982/83-Dick Stockton, Bill Russell
- 1983/84 through 1986/87 Dick Stockton, Tom Heinsohn-Lots of complaints
about Heinsohn being Pro Celtics.
- 1987/88-Stockton, Billy Cunningham- Cunningham left to go to a management
position with the Miami Heat.
- 1988/89 and 1989/90- Stockton, Hubie Brown
[edit] 1988 open
Can anyone please find a copy of the 1988 open? I can't find it at YouTube. Thank you. 71.111.232.40 22:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the other opens, guys. 71.111.232.40 02:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Passed GA
Heyo. I have reviewed this article and have deemed it good. Congratulations. Here are some thoughts:
- Well written? Prose is fair to midland. Could use some cleanup in the "Tape delay and playoff scheduling" section; it gets a little long in there. Sometimes particular Nielsen ratings are referred to in prose, which should be avoided, since many people don't know what they mean. The lead could be expanded a bit, and the "Memorable moments" section is a bit of a non-starter, and should go.
- Factually accurate? Looks accurate and verifiable to me.
- Broad in coverage? Yep.
- Article stability? Check.
- Images? Fair use images are appropriate in number, distribution, and all have fair use rationales.
Looks good. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 04:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Good Article Review
I have nothing against the article or HiDrNick, but I disagree with the review he gave. I find numerous problems with this article that make it unworthy of good article status. I think they can be fixed up in no time, however in order to contest the decision made to list this article as a GA, I had to submit it for Good Article Review. As a result it may lose its Good Article Status until further improvements are made. For further questions let me know or see the GA Review page. -- Noetic Sage 05:51, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
