So I’m going to try something a little different tonight, I’m going to attempt to live blog this evenings match-up between the Blazers and the Celtics.

Portland and Boston are set to square off at 6:00 PM at the Rose Garden. Tonight’s game is being broadcast on KGW, and is available on the radio at KXTG.

Here’s my preview for tonight’s game.

Blazers Starting 5: PG Damian Lillard, SG Wesley Matthews, SF Nicolas Batum, PF LaMarcus Aldridge, C J.J. Hickson

Celtics Starting 5: PG Avery Bradley, SG Courtney Lee, SF Paul Pierce, PF Brandon Bass, C Kevin Garnett

The RG is full of Celtics fans, so we’ll see how that goes.
