I was lucky enough to be invited to see Graham Nash at the Cabot Theater in Beverly last week. Way back in High School my friends and I would go see Crosby, Stills, and Nash at Great Woods every year. I remember those shows fondly for lots of different reasons. All these years later, I still love live music….be it a small intimate venue with an up-and-coming artist, stages all over cities like Nashville, a band playing outside on the waterfront….or, obviously, a big concert. I read somewhere a bit ago, “Life is short. Buy the damn concert tickets.” I feel that for sure! If you haven’t been to the Cabot recently you should. SUCH a great venue! Graham Nash was phenomenal. Not only has he not missed a beat in all of these years and still sounds amazing….but, my favorite part, was that every single song had a story. It was so fun to hear the inspiration…often really funny…behind each song.

While you’d like to think the celtics should blow Miami out of the water, I wouldn’t touch it, only because you never know which Celtics team will show up.
The Heat undoubtedly will be playing like every game is game 7. The Celtics if they follow the Bruins path and take the Heat lightly like the bruins took the Panthers lightly could easily let one get away. The MO of this team for the past four years is always to make things hard on themselves.
Now with Tatum having what could be considered his breakout series where he really came up strong when their backs were against the wall down 2 games to 3 in the series against Philly and taking over might be the confidence boost they need.
There’s only two players on Miami that are big time threats IMO- Butler (obvi) and Bam Abedayo who always seems to play us tough. Tyler Herro being out is huge for the Celtics.
I have absolutely no idea what’s gonna happen tonight, which Celtics team is going to show up so I’m staying away from it. I don’t like laying 8.5 points against ANY team so I’ll just watch enjoy it for what it is.
If I had to bet it I’d take the Heat and +8.5 but what is the fun in betting a few sheckles against your own team in the Eastern Conference Finals? No thanks.

notes on images: The Feiningers were friends with the Hoppers. Ditto Hartley. The Hartley Pink Houses, ca. 1940, like a Hopper motif, was inspired by Stonington, ME. Henri taught Ed Hopper and Jo Nivison. The Benton Train Station that’s a bit more of a Hopper composition is dated 1929.
