The Rules for tonight’s Twitter fun.
So we did this
last year. It was the first time it had
ever been attempted for a live professional sports broadcast and, as I wrote in
the hours before it began, “I think we’re about to find out why.”
But as chaotic-as-a-Nicki-Minaj-stage-performance
as it was, we made history and had some fun in the process.
Tonight, the
sequel. And here’s how it works. I’ll call the game by myself courtside in
Chicago, and where Cedric Maxwell would normally come in, I’ll look down at the
Twitter feed and incorporate your comments in real time.
Send your in-game tweets to
@SeanGrandePBP with the hashtag #CelticsRadio.
The guys will be
retweeting some of the best tweets during the night and for the author of the
best one? Two tickets to see that guy,
the NBA’s own version of Beiber-fever, Jeremy Lin and the Knicks in Boston for
the big Sunday afternoon ABC game on March 4th.
If you don’t
hear your tweet on the air, it’s still very much eligible for the prize. By
using #CelticsRadio, we’ll make sure every one of them gets read and while I’ll
have some input, our esteemed studio producer @JonAlbanese will make the final
call. I was married for nine years, believe
me I know how to avoid unwinnable situations.
Thanks for
playing and enjoy, it will be a fascinating exercise in hopeless and
unconquerable multi-tasking if nothing else.
