Celtics
Does the fact that Paul Pierce's new boston.com blog is really "as told to" rather than something from his own hand detract from it in any way? At least the Globe is up front (well, bottom of blog) about the fact that reporter Julian Benbow is the one actually composing the sentences that appear on screen; it's not like they hired somebody like this.
Naturally, there's a site that collects tacky tourist photos and, yes, of course, one of the entries involves the Red Auerbach statue and some guy's finger. Guess it beats what Harvard students do to poor John Harvard, though.

Or did somebody drop a 16-ton weight (labeled "Acme," of course) on his thumb, which caused it to swell up to 1,000 times its normal size and throb bright red and made his eyes balloon out of his head - as an old Model T horn blared in the background?
The Herald reports that Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca is thinking about running for open Senate seat as a Democrat.
Ed. I wasn't going to announce this yet announcement: After careful consideration and consultation with my family, I have decided I will not be a candidate for the open Senate seat.

So the Celtics were "Belichickian" about the nature of Garnett's injury. Does it matter? Celtics Blog says yes, they misled the fans, Red's Army says no, the team doesn't owe fans detailed medical reports. Both agree Grousbeck should stop besmirching Bill Belichick.
Too depressing to repeat the day's scores, but at least the Celtics have one more chance and the Sox still have the whole rest of the season.
Celtics: 95-94.
Bruins: 4-0.
Red Sox: 4-3.
Morry Levine blames the Bulls for exhausting the Celtics.
Jay Fitzgerald sees a silver lining:
The Celts now know if they play more than one half, they can compete.

CelticsBlog: Well so much for homecourt.
We got on the Orange Line at Downtown Crossing this afternoon. The train was full of Celtics fans. Right away, we knew they'd lost - the car was pretty much completely silent and not a smile to be seen.

Boston Police report arresting three Braintree teens who refused to stop pestering a Boston Garden photographer who didn't find them interesting enough to take a picture of. Here's the play-by-play from last night's Celtics game:
According to the security personnel, the suspects began swearing and yelling at a photographer employed at the Garden. The suspects were demanding that the photographer take their picture and when, according to them, the photographer refused, the suspects proceeded to verbally berate and disrespect him.
When officers showed up, police say, the three refused to show ID. And when they began to walk away and an officer tried to stop them, one allegedly yelled: "Get your (expletive) hands off me. I know my rights."
Officers then presumably gave him and his buds a chance to further explore their rights, specifically the ones beginning with "Miranda." Actually, officers originally only planned to arrest two of the three, but when the third told them "If you're going to arrest my friends, then you're gonna have to arrest me," they readily agreed to the request.
Innocent, etc.
One never ceases to be amused by what one can find on Craigslist.
