    I feel bad for Wheels. Especially on the road it's going to be extremely hard to do the work of two people. That job just isn't talking on the radio, it's also keeping up on the scoring, stats, timeouts, fouls, and tweets during the game. That's going to be rough for Wheels.

    I don't think they'll leave him alone....he could have guest color commentators for each game as well.

    Not so sure the Blazers front office would think very highly of that but I'm sure the fans would.

    I imagine it would be more difficult having someone new next to you every game than it would be just doing it by yourself.

    Wheels is a pro...he can host any banter or interview with coaches, players, etc....although I'd like them to hire an ex coach to do color for him...maybe a guy like Mike Dunleavy

    Notice he said " We do know the NBA." Meaning not necessarily a Blazers talk show. And I would be OK with that.

    Paul is technology oriented. I predict the Mikes will be replaced by robots.

    I know Wheels is a pro. A two man broadcast w/ someone you've never worked with before is difficult. There is a rhythm, it's a bit like a dance. Asking Wheels to do that with someone different for 100 games a season would be much harder. Jeez, all I'm saying is that this is going to be hard on Wheels.

    He already does that with baseball now doesn't he? He's been broadcasting baseball for a long time I understand or at least I though I heard him talk to Tone about it a couple times

    Play by play in basketball is much faster and much more difficult, imo.

    I know Kenny Vance used to do it for home games. I doubt anyone will be provided for road games.
