40 years 50 years ago yeah I got another fun fact another fun fact from this series the deciding game six of the finals was played at noon Pacific time okay
This is true.
CBS Sports wanted them to play the game even earlier.
At 10.30 Pacific time, they wanted.
Blazers owners were like, we're not doing that.
We've already told our ticket holders we're playing at noon, so they pushed back.
But CBS Sports wanted it to be earlier because they had the Kemper Open, which is a golf tournament that they were airing later that afternoon.
And because the game stayed at 12 Pacific time and then, you know, obviously went a couple hours and then this Kemper open was going on in North Carolina.
CBS cuts immediately after the game ends.
There is no postgame celebrations, no postgame interviews.
We just go right from the Blazers win game six.
They're the titles champions right to the Kemper open.
I mean, crazy if you're a Blazers fan watching this in 1977 and they're like, oh, you get nothing.
We just came back and won four straight games.
Sorry, we gotta go to golfing.
What a different time.
Golf greater than basketball in the eyes of CBS.
Yeah, I guess at the time.
