Our guest this week will be Sean Grande, the ubiquitous radio announcer/blogger for the Celtics.
While maybe not actually "omnipresent," Sean's influence is rapidly pervading the local sports scene as one of it's most indispensable voices.
Sean has the unique perspective of having seen Kevin Garnett in his early years playing in Minnesota; the ups and downs.... the glory (the playoffs with Sam Cassell), the locker room dissension and the losses that just kept pilling up.
There was no bigger supporter of the proposed trade than Sean.
While we've all heard Sean's mellifluous voice calling the game on the radio, I'm sure his erudite and humorous blogging; "From the Booth ," for Celtics.com has not reached the audience it deserves.
Here is Sean contemplating the epic battle between the Celtics and the Pistons, stretching the imagination and entertaining us all.....
If you have a question for our guest or the show you can call our toll free number (1.866.751.9649) anytime leading up to tip off on Sunday and leave us a voice mail to air live or you can send us an e-mail .
As always we will take your calls live during the show and monitor the chat wars in The Pit.
We hope you will join us.

Like if there was media at the time, hyping up the David and Goliath showdown, can you see Goliath, microphones in his face saying, "Yeah, he's small, but there's no one better with a slingshot. He's had a lot of success with it..." And somewhere, in another part of town, reporters gathered around David, tape recorders rolling, peppering him with questions about the showdown. "Well, you guys know, Goliath has been the man around here for years, he's got size, experience, I'm just going to have to stay within myself and give it my best shot."
And it occurred to me, there's a reason Don King stages those ridiculous news conferences.
But there's no playing this down. And the more you think about it...why would you want to?
Celtics Nation has waited two decades for games, for night, like this one.
