NBC Sports Boston won’t use conventional play-by-play for Celtics-Hawks Games 3 and 4

NBC Sports Boston won’t have Hall of Fame play-by-play announcer Mike Gorman on the call when the Celtics travel to Atlanta to face the Hawks in Games 3 and 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.

It won’t have the accomplished Sean Grande to move over from the radio side, either.

In fact, it won’t have a conventional play-by-play voice at all.

With Gorman unable to fly as he recovers from eye surgery and Grande unavailable because of a previous commitment, NBC Sports Boston has confirmed that it will have analysts Brian Scalabrine and Eddie House call both games rather than bringing in an unfamiliar play-by-play voice.
