Chat wrap
(Note: Chad Finn's next chat will occur, Friday, May 29).
We've had a heck of a run of good fortune as Boston sports fans the last half-dozen years . . . but man, yesterday certainly was not one the many happy days in Sportstown USA. Scott Walker reminded us that the villain sometimes wins, Ray Allen and the Celtics played like Mouseketeers in Orlando, and Big Papi . . . well, it's tough to rationally discuss what's happening to him right now. But as always, we gave it our best in our weekly chat as readers brought their frustration, optimism, and everything in between. Click the replay button below to view the transcript.
