Sorry folks; Justin has a family situation that won't allow him to return home tonight.
Please join us on Tuesday!
Our guest this week is the unflappable, Steve Bulpett, the beat writer for the Boston Herald. Steve has been covering the Celtics since the Hoover administration and has frequently entertained us with his profound insights, an intense love of the game and of course his acerbic wit.
While we are waiting for the playoffs to start, I though it would be fun to check Steve's opinion of the Garnett trade.
Here are his comments from the Herald's blog on July 21st, 2007.
If you have a question for our guest or the show you can call our toll free number (1.866.751.9649), send us an e-mail to CSL@CelticsBlog.com, or join us in the chat during the broadcast.

Ironically, it was Kevin McHale who once said the bottom line to the Celts success in the ’80s was that they knew they were going to be better than their opponent at a preponderance of the matchups on most any given night. In Garnett and Pierce, the Celtics should be able to pretty much count on two. In the East, that may be enough to rumble. When you bring the West into the picture, that still won’t get it done. But it’s a starting point you’d have to consider.
This issue isn’t black and white. There are some vividly gray areas led by Jefferson’s potential and the nine-year age difference between Al and KG.
If we’re playing Deal or No Deal, I may hang on to the suitcase a bit longer in the expectation that Jefferson’s value won’t decrease. But it’s not a simple choice.
We will of course continue evaluating the playoff match-ups as well as the interesting twists the rotation has taken in these past few weeks.
