"Welcome to the 1985 Portland Trail Blazers' home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Hello everyone, I'm Bill Schonely. In the last clash between the two teams, our center Ah Gan was ejected for elbowing Moses Malone, resulting in the Trail Blazers losing the game away. Tonight, at the Memorial Coliseum, Ah Gan will continue to match up against Moses. Let's look forward to the sparks that'll fly between them."
Fans in the Oregon region tuned in to their radios and local TV sports channels, ready to listen to Bill Schonely bring them the commentary for the Trail Blazers' game.
Tonight's game is a headliner, destined to draw a large audience, tuning in from both within and outside the stadium.
Although the Trail Blazers' management lacks some intuition and firmness in team building, off the court, their operations team may be the best in the entire league.
