TNT broadcaster Marv Albert reminisces on a previous players’ Game 7 uncertainty
By Jonathan Feigen, Houston Chronicle Published 7:29 pm, Monday, May 28, 2018 The uncertainty about Chris Paul's potential return to the floor was familiar to at least one observer, at least until the decision was made that Paul would be out. If TNT broadcaster Marv Albert had forgotten Willis Reed's dramatic appearance in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, he was reminded when he was asked about it throughout the day on Monday. "That was the Finals, so that's different," Albert, who did the live radio broadcast of the game when the television broadcast was shown only on tape delay. "I was doing a pregame show and I interviewed Willis prior to the game and he told me, "I got my shot" and there was no question he was going to play. "It was mostly radio in those days.

Rockets’ Luc Mbah a Moute leaves game with dislocated right shoulder
By Jonathan Feigen, Houston Chronicle Published 10:37 pm, Tuesday, April 10, 2018 The Rockets wanted to gain many things from their penultimate regular-season game, but none were as important as to get through the "dress rehearsal" while staying healthy. That hope ended midway through the second quarter when Luc Mbah a Moute left the floor with a dislocated right shoulder. Mbah a Moute, who dislocated the shoulder while bracing himself on a fall this season, immediately grabbed his shoulder after putting in a hard dunk on the Lakers' Thomas Bryant. He went directly to the locker room and was quickly diagnosed with a dislocation. Mbah a Moute was to play a significant role for the Rockets in the post-season not only as a backup small forward, but at power forward in small lineups. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni had said before Tuesday's game that he wanted to use his post-season rotation, and played Mbah a Moute at power forward with Gerald Green, Eric Gordon and Chris Paul in … [Read more...] about Rockets’ Luc Mbah a Moute leaves game with dislocated right shoulder
