(CBS) NBA BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS First weekend of the 1984 NBA playotts (best of five series). STRIKE -- In case anyone noticed, about the only time ABC took out from its ice-to-ice coverage of the winter Olympic games (aside from the Saturday morning cartoons) was to present the weekly "Pro­ fessional Bowlers Tour." Why the network bow to the professional bowlers? It could be the high ratings of the bowling show, or it could be because of its expert bowling commentator, Nelson Burton Jr.. who this year marks his 10th consecutive year with the touring show. Actually. Burton had been (ust about to retire from competitive bowling when ABC asked him to try out for the master's chair in 1975. replacing the late Billy Welu. He's been in that spot ever since. As he critiques the various bowling stances and the players' performances. Burton is in a unique position compared to other sports commentators Unlike the former jocks and managers on many sports shows, Nelson-not only analyzes his fellow bowlers, but also competes with qnd against them -- he bowls in about half the big professional tour­ naments \j have tried to call the action as fairly as possible without being overly critical, unless the action calls for criticism." the Professional Bowling League hall- of-famer says. "People I'm probably most critical of are those I'm closest to. "For instance, there's Marshall Holman. We have become pretty good friends in the last couple of years. I remember when he came up to me after he had bowled poorly and said. You know, I watched the tape of the show and you were hard on me, but I deserved it.' "That's typical of the reaction I get trom other bowlers, too." he says. How do the other guyc "get back" at him? "It seems they always try harder against me." he says, laughing. "They must say. 'I've got Burton coming up and I better play a little harder because I don't want him to say anything bad about me.'"
