The Michaels-Rivers partnership only brings one thing to mind:

Wow!!! You would have thought that was Summerall and Madden breaking
up after 21 years of working together. Michaels and Rivers only
worked together for 1 year - and they formed a relationship that
deep, heh?

I think Al is appreciative that Rivers had to carry the broadcasts
since Michaels was not as familiar with the NBA. And Rivers did a
standout job.

You can still tell that Rivers was a little rusty, but when Hubie
Brown teamed with Micheals in the next season, that really helped
Micheals.
