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

"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).

Passed GA
Heyo. I have reviewed this article and have deemed it good. Congratulations. Here are some thoughts:
 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Factually accurate?  Looks accurate and verifiable to me.
 * 3) Broad in coverage?  Yep.
 * 4) Article stability? Check.
 * 5) Images?  Fair use images are appropriate in number, distribution, and all have fair use rationales.

Looks good. Cheers, &#10154; Hi DrNick ! 04:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Review
I have nothing against the article or Hi DrNick, 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)
