Should Mike Gorman misidentify a player or commit one broadcasting miscue or another during NBC Sports Boston’s Celtics telecasts, cut the man some slack, will ya?
Gorman has always been a welcome companion — his “takes it, makes it” play-by-play a pleasure — during his 41 seasons as the Celtics’ television voice.
Besides, right now, he’s trying to track the game with half as many functioning eyes as he usually has.
Gorman was having lunch with his brother and sister in Boston a week ago when his left eye suddenly went dark.
“Almost like a black curtain,” said the 77-year-old Gorman, who feared he was suffering a stroke.
