I can think of 5 play by play guys that the Blazers have had, and I was wondering, who do we think is the best?

Lafferty? Schonely? Doucette? Pranica? Barrett?

I realize i misspelled Schonz last name

You can't be serious.

This is like choosing between Jordan and 4 players from the Washington Generals.

i voted for M.B. 'cuz my wife just called him an "*** clown"!!! she also said she's glad they toned down his make-up because it made him look less like "an old queen". she's a real gem.

Dan

the thing is, I said TV guy. Schonely blew on TV.

Bill was the best TV play-by-play guy they ever had, when he was on the radio.

I always turned down the TV volume and cranked up The Schonz on the radio for the best of both worlds.

I've been pretty disappointed in everyone since. They're just not 100% into the team and the game.

Snoozeville.

I voted for Bill Schonely. He had many famous phrases. 'Rip City', 'Bingo Bango Bongo' and 'You've got to make your free throws'.

Dude, what are you doing here?

Dan

I'm confused. How would a piston fan know what Bill Schonely used to say?

Someone should add the original Blazers TV voice to the poll, Jimmy Jones.

You incorrectly spelled Pat's name. It's Laugherty.

Dude was a literal joke when it came to doing Blazers p-b-p.

I really like Barnett. He is even keel and quite observent and very down to earth. I like his Blog as well.

Shonz was the best on radio but he just was not a TV guy. He is a true "Salesman" - a showman. He could pitch most anything and is very good in commercials.
He sold a brand of basketball that was not allways there but that you wanted to be there. A real statesman of radio! How many games did he do? I probably listened to all but a hundred or so.

I know he wasn't play by play, but I like Steve Jones. Always enjoyed his insights and watching him run circles around Bill Walton when he did national games.
