Slug it out with other fans in our new forum

We interrupt this blog for a brief programming note. Today we launched a new community feature called "Slugfests", a forum in which fans can go head to head in a structured debate environment on a particular topic.

For example, I challenged colleague Gary Dzen to a debate over whether the Celtics' window of opportunity was closed after this season's playoff exit. Check out our back-and-forth here.

Try it out yourself (start your own Slugfest here) and let us know what you think in the comments section of this blog entry. We're trying something new here, so we're open to any and all of your suggestions.
