Welcome to the Garden …
Welcome to the Garden, where the Boston Celtics (55-19) will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (20-52) at 7 p.m. (note the early start time).
I was stuck over on Morrissey Boulevard this afternoon and missed the pregame excitement here, but colleague Frank Dell’Apa will pass along some pregame notes shortly. And we’ll have the usual game updates and postgame fare.
Hard to find a storyline for this game other than KG’s absence. The Thunder have a terrible record, though Kevin Durant is a stud and should be fun to watch tonight.
Paul Pierce, the latest NBA’er to join the Twitter craze, posted this afternoon that he was giving away five tickets to tonight’s game on his way into the arena. The tickets were to go to the first five fans wearing No. 34 jerseys that met Pierce outside the player parking lot.
Celtics fan Mike Chace says he got tickets from Pierce this afternoon. He posted the interaction, with a few pictures, on his blog. Shaquille O’Neal has been known to give away Suns tickets to his followers on Twitter as well.
Plenty more to come here from the TD. Stay tuned.
