Recap before the recap: Celtics @ Jazz

We're trying something new with our preview. We're basically writing the preview as if we're recapping the game the way we think it will go. The quotes and performances are made up, but the records, and other relevant pre-game stats are accurate. Please let us know what you think in the comments. I am aware this might end up sucking... so please weigh in.

Red's Army tries to forecast Celtics @ Jazz tonight. It's like Back to the Future! But for a Celtics game! Well, I like it.

Change The World?

Toying around with Storify now that I've been granted access. It's a neat tool for the new Read & React and Curation ecosystems. First saw these guys at TechCrunch Disrupt in SF and am just now getting my first taste. The object below is a blog post in its own right... a curated set of 3 distinct objects:

A Tweet from Tyler Willis (itself a retweet)
Some original text from yours truly
A YouTube clip of Eric Clapton in concert posted by someone back in 2007 (again, a bit of a found object)

It's especially appropriate that I gained access today as I was just listening to Steven Rosenbaum discuss Curation Nation on On The Media yesterday... Steven makes an interesting case for the transformative power of curation. Listen for yourself at this handy dandy URL.
