1986 NBA WC Finals - Rockets @ Lakers - Game 5 - CBS Intro

[tb516]

Amazing stuff. When basketball was basketball. Awesome theme song, love it

[aitraining]

Golden age of NBA greats! 80's were amazing and you gotta love the awesome CBS intro. Wow - makes me feel like a kid. "The Forum" too. Awesome

[MrJaylin247]

@aitraining chalie and the numbers 3

[tonshaad1230]

I Heard the Undertaker's theme in 2009 during THEIR game...... o_0 weird uh?

[btime100]

What does TNT and CBS have in common? .....Dick Stockton and the Rockets kicking the Lakers ass! GO ROCKETS!!!

[Market42Fan]

TNT's got both of the greatest NBA play-by-play men from my lifetime (Stockton and Marv Albert).

[cbaldwinjr]

Try scoring more than 70 in a Game 7 next time jerky! 2009 NBA World Champions...Los Angeles Lakers. How do you like those salty nuts on your eyelids

[legendaryplanets]

What's funny is that Pat Riley was drafted by the Rockets when they played in San Diego

rjpsuh, if CBS brings it back, they should use this theme song for an opening but modernize it for 2016. That would be cool. This is a great intro. NBC's were great as well. ABC's intro's aren't that good.

[dbadefense1990]

Nah, in my opinion, if the NBA on CBS returns in 2016, they should use their theme song from 1989-1990, and modernize that one. You just cannot touch this music, ever. It's just that legendary.

[bcw024]

Brent Musburger is a legend

[HuskerFanatic]

Maybe in your mind, but not mine. F that Nebraska football hater, for life.

[pchoutx]

Can someone zip this whole game and email it to me?

[rjpsuh06]

I wish the NBA came back to CBS. CBS does nothing now after the Masters. It's just golf, mini NCAA events and the Sports Spectacular. Let's just say they fall asleep until the NFL season begins. If the NBA came back to CBS, it would be awesome. Kevin Harlan, Ian Eagle, Gus Johnson and Craig Bolerjack lead the way in play by play. Jim Nantz might host or do the pxp. Unfortunately, by the time CBS gets it, if they do get it in 2016, Stockton and Lundquist will be too old.

[HuskerFanatic]

I wouldn't mind it coming back to CBS as long as Brent doesn't come back. I prefer NBC, but I can live with CBS without Brent.

[rjpsuh06]

I prefer NBC also, but CBS has been on NBA hiatus for 18 years.

[TRJ22487]

CBS would never rehire Brent Musburger they completely stripped him of his high position in sports in the early 90's when they fired him

[TailsGuy]

Who won this game, and who wonn this series? Please respond.

[DENNISPUPPY]

Rockets won the game 114-112 on an off balance shot by Ralph Sampson. the win clinched a trip to the NBA Finals for Houston

[JLR0912]

Tommy Heinson. Truly a great NBA commentator. NBA on CBS was great. Used to watch these games every weekend. Always remember the Sunday CBS game, especially if the 76ers were playing. Great stuff.

[liberalh8r]

This game was shown live in prime time, a far departure from earlier years, when weeknight playoff games in the Pacific Time Zone would tip at 8:35 p.m. (11:35 p.m. ET). Game 3 of this series, which started at 9 p.m. CT in Houston, was the last tape-delayed playoff game to date.

[DENNISPUPPY]

Houston vs Seattle Supersonics game 6 of the 1987 West Semifinal was the last tape-delayed playoff game

[nateplaya88]

I miss these old school basketball intro's man

[HuskerFanatic]

I do too. I actually do like NBA on CBS when I don't hear Musburger's voice

[supamari0]

Amen.

NBA on CBS, NBA on NBC, hell NBA on TBS were all better to watch than the garbage on ABC and ESPN.

[sarnow76]

@supamari0 Hell Yeah!

[waltalan10]

@supamari0 - I agree. Great music, short pregame that doesn't drag, and no Stuart Scott (after he became bigger than the games and highlights).

[adheckle]

The Laker knew they could not beat the Celtics in 86 and purposely blew the series just to avoid giving Boston the satisfaction of beating them in the finals. Houston won the game without Akeem in the final key minutes. Give me a break.

[HuskerFanatic]

Cmon, man. Give the Rockets at least a LITTLE credit. That we beat L.A. in five that year was no fluke.

[campsports]

do u have the intro from the 1992 NBA playoffs game 3 between the knicks n bulls?
