    I ended up listening to the second half of the PHX game while driving home from Corvallis, and Scott Lynn called a terrific second half! We're very fortunate to have such an able backup for Wheels (who is phenomenal of course).

    Scott Lynn has really done a fantastic job stepping in for Wheels. I hope that the Florida NBA teams give him a look for their PBP positions, he deserves it.

    Looks like Wheels is only calling home games for the rest of the year. Scott Lynn will be calling all road games. Just announced.

    I'm hoping Scott sticks around and takes the job when Wheels can no longer handle it....

    Scott Lynn does a great job. That's a win-win. Wheels gets some rest. Fans get quality play by play.

    :cheers:

    Lynn is no spring chicken himself. He basically game out of retirement to call Blazer games this year. Hopefully Wheels gets his health straight.

    Some of the things he's been saying makes me think he's listened to wheels calls for a stretch. Dipsie Doo is the main thing that comes to mind
