Final 10 minutes of radio broadcast of Game 6, 1977 NBA Finals - Bill Schonley

[@jasonpdsi]

11:23: greatest call in Portland sports history. Ever.

[@jasonpdsi]

"Gotta go with the guys who are getting the job done" Yup, that's why Kyrie Irving played 43 minutes Thursday.

[@jasonpdsi]

Schonz must have been bursting at the seams

The-Game-Is-Over....CHILLS

[@rjf17th]

@@Lootmeister memorized that falling asleep to the album as a kid - drives, stops, pump, shoot, short, no good, and the game is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[@wadeconner3200]

I remember listening to this broadcast live! We preferred the radio over the TV when it came to commentary from the Schon's!

[@SWhit62030]

The Blazers website has all of the radio call of Game 6, including the pre-game and post-game.

[@jasonnstegall]

Sherman Whitman -- Awesome! Do they also have any recordings going back before that -- or will I have to keep listening to KZbin and searching there? Just wondering...

Rest In Peace Bill

RIP Bill.

[@tonyjoyce7012]

Do you have full game broadcasts? If so please upload or direct me to them, thank greatly.

[@jasonnstegall]

Tony Joyce -- Me too.

[@Jojoburns26]

Anyone know who the color commentator was?

[@howardbuck]

If anyone (still) sees this: It was Jim Marsh, a forward who spent a year or two with Portland, then retired and was with Bill Schonely this one year, I believe, on the radio (home games only). He then went on to do Seattle Super Sonics analysis for another 10-12 years. I simply lived/died by these games... 🥲

red hot and rolling

[@Lootmeister]

LOVED this phrase!!!!

[@jasonpdsi]

11:17

[@decline2state]

A lot less irritating than listening to Brent Musburger's and Rick Barry's CBS Sports' TV call.

[@delvindelvintumbling8452]

Brent musburger ruined the trophy presentation for our blazers because of the stupid golf tournament after we won the title. I was 2 years old that time in 77

[@redfanrod]

LUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!

[@delvindelvintumbling8452]

Blazers

[@jasonpdsi]

With all due respect, the Blazers are in a lull with regards to their radio announcing. We've been spoiled - Schonz, the great Eddie Doucette, and Brian Wheeler. The current regime doesn't do it for me.

[@Dblock8998]

Yep Travis Demers sucks

[@delvindelvintumbling8452]

Brent musburger ruined the trophy presentation

[@EnemyOfThePeople1984]

Musberger is a dick, but he had nothing to do with that.

[@sacfish007]

They cut away to the Kemper international golf tournament. . . Never got to see the trophy presentation. . .

[@sacfish007]

Portland fans crash the switchboard at KOIN, the local CBS-TV affiliate, protesting the quick cut to golf. Dick Butterfield, KOIN's general manager, is at the game and doesn't find out until later. He calls the move "plain lousy judgment." Don Wiederecht, a communications director for CBS, apologizes to "our basketball fans" and assures them the trophy presentation and "locker room activity" will be shown on CBS Sports Spectacular in a few days.
