If you have anything you want to discuss before or during tonight’s Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, leave a comment or question.
I will have some pregame notes and thoughts as well.
I will be at the Garden at about 6:15 p.m.
I have a column in today’s Eagle-Tribune responding to the ongoing criticism of Bill Belichick and the tired old “spygate” argument.
Anyway, it there for your observation.
Nothing has changed, in my humble opinion. This series is going seven games because, well, it has to.
These are two evenly matched teams. Both play probably the best defense in the league. And both have key players who can score during crunch time.

If you have any thoughts, comments or questions about the Celts-Pistons Game 2 tonight at the Garden send them along.
I will have some updates before the game and at halftime.
Talk to you tonight.

The four points he scored in Game 7 last night was indicative of the last two-plus weeks.
He can’t get open.
Why?
Is the problem the Celtics don’t really have a low-post presence?
Remember, most of Kevin Garnett’s [...]
I open with a prediction. I believe the Celtics win tonight, finally on the road.
I believe Wednesday night’s game was a coming out party for Rajon Rondo. He needs to create more on offense and keep the ball moving.
If he makes the open jumpers, that’s an added bonus.
I’m here if you have any comments or [...]
Here is the transcript (unfortunately all CAPS) from this morning’s interview between Patriots owner Bob Kraft and CNBC’s Squawk Box’s Scott Wapner:
WAPNER: ROBERT KRAFT IS THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AND HE’S GOING TO JOIN US FIRST ON CNBC THIS MORNING.MR. KRAFT, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

STATEMENT FROM THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
“We want to address the allegation that the Patriots taped the Rams’ walk-through prior to Super Bowl XXXVI. For the past three-and-a-half months, we have been defending ourselves against assumptions made based on an unsubstantiated report rather than on facts or evidence. Despite our adamant denials, the report ran on [...]
