Thought he was leaving.

Fuck him and his Seattle ties

I especially like it when he calls you guys Seattle.

Old grudges die hard, I know. But until the Sonics live again, they are dead. Our beefs with them should die as well.

I wish the NBA League Pass radio feed was synced with the TV feed. It's far off sometimes. I would listen to Wheels every game. But I'm stuck with Calabro and Hurd... they make me miss the Mikes still. C&H still have no chemistry together. Mike Barrett needs to be part of the Blazers voice work somewhere IMO.

yawn

He just called us Seattle a few games ago

Nicely done

My tires were slashed at the kingdome after the Fabulous sports bitch told people to do it.

Plumbers butt of America. That's how they referred to Portland, and Colabro chuckled.

FUCK HIM

Wow. I thought I had some deep seated sports hatreds based upon self-manufactured grievances. Yours takes the cake.

And I haven't thought of "The Fabulous Sports Babe" in like 25 years. Kudos.

And... to be fair... Portland in the early 90s did slightly resemble a Plumber's Butt. However, Portland has moved forward by light years while Seattle has pretty much stayed the PacNW cesspool it always was.

Fuck that whole city.

I ended up listening to the second half of the PHX game while driving home from Corvallis, and Scott Lynn called a terrific second half! We're very fortunate to have such an able backup for Wheels (who is phenomenal of course).

 

[DDolla]

I’ll take Calabro any day than that Boston Celtics broadcaster.

 

[Magoo]

I listen to Wheels and now Scott Lin on the radio most of the time....Wheels is my voice for the Blazers.....hope he stops missing broadcasts and gets healthy

Wheels is on for next game! I like Scott Lin too.

Scott Lynn has really done a fantastic job stepping in for Wheels. I hope that the Florida NBA teams give him a look for their PBP positions, he deserves it.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Oh, I thought maybe he was leaving

Hoping.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Finally! Thank you. Once we start making some real noise, expect some calabro classics.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Looks like Wheels is only calling home games for the rest of the year. Scott Lynn will be calling all road games. Just announced.

I'm hoping Scott sticks around and takes the job when Wheels can no longer handle it....

Scott Lynn does a great job. That's a win-win. Wheels gets some rest. Fans get quality play by play.

 

[chris_in_pdx]

Lynn is no spring chicken himself. He basically game out of retirement to call Blazer games this year. Hopefully Wheels gets his health straight.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

He's gotten better..but he still mistakes one player for another occasionally..and that is my beef with him

Well there's no one on the team named Gary Payton or shawn Kemp, so give the guy a break

 

[The Professional Fan]

Seriously. He’s so winning me over now. This is the voice of someone that now cares

 

[Eastoff]

Some of the things he's been saying makes me think he's listened to wheels calls for a stretch. Dipsie Doo is the main thing that comes to mind

 

[dviss1]

Why did I post here when I still want him gone?

Lol, no, I do. But I'll follow the unwritten rules of this thread.

 

[Strenuus]

He has found his groove. Some great calls!
