Oh ESPN with the call as the Celtics blow another late lead and are pushed to the brink in the NBA playoffs, and then there's that injury to Tatum.
This Celtics fan tells me I'm optimistly, but after Boston blew a third double digit second half lead in this series to the Knicks and falling down three to one to New York and seeing superstar Jason Tatum wheeled into the locker room at Madison Square Garden after he collapsed on the court with an apparent leg injury.
Oh man, this is kind of disheartening.
The card shure seems stacked against the Green, stacked high. But this fan still has hope.
I think they can, you know, sustain the loss of a player here and there for a little while. Do you think they can come back win the series.
I we'll see.
It's gonna be tough.
I'm polling for them.
Chris Fau, I'm a WBZ Boston's news radio.
Tatum will have an MRI today as the team and its fans prepare for the worst but hope for the best. Game five is tomorrow nights at the Garden. Boston City councilors will try to move them ountain. This week. They'll take up a non binding resolution to remove disgraced colleague Tanya Fernandez and from the panel. Fernandez Anderson has vowed to resign following a guilty plea on federal corruption charges, but she's still serving and has made it clear she
does not want to talk about her pending resignation. The resolution was blocked during last week's meeting. Fernandez Anderson will only say she anticipates stepping down sometime next month. Vehicles with an empty driver's seats are coming to Boston.
You could soon be seeing a car pull up to the red light beside you with no driver in sight. That's the plan for down the road as Waymo gears up to test its self driving cars around. But before that happens, there will be a human behind the wheel for the trial period, though not everyone is ready for the future. I really wouldn't do it, this woman says. Even regular ride share options are too much.
I don't take UVA or anything because I don't trust them at all.

This morning. We are getting started with some clouds at sunrise. It is fifty five degrees Right now, we'll see temperatures ranging anywhere from the low sixties here in Boston and along the waterfront to the mid seventies well inland in locations there. This afternoon mix of sun and clouds also on the way, turning out mostly cloudy overnight. Tonight, we'll drop back into the forties, and it looks like an
unsettled weather pattern is right on our doorstep. Tomorrow appears to be mainly dry during the daylight hours, however, cloudy with high temperatures in the low to mid sixties for most of us, again in the low seventies and inland locations. Looks like the best chance of rain comes tomorrow night into Thursday, and we'll see a shower or two. These are hit or miss variety, not the consistent rain we
experienced this past weekend. HIGs mainly will be in the mid to upper sixties for the rest of this work week, and that includes Friday, with a couple of showers hanging around, and we cannot rule out the possibility of showers. This would be a tenth consecutive weekend here in Greater Boston with some precipitation coming down on Saturday and Sunday as well. Right now in Boston, it is partly cloudy skies in fifty five.

This video one new piece of evidence from two full days of cross examination of State Trooper Ury Buchanic. The defense grilled him about the investigation and how we handled the text messages of his subordinate, Michael Proctor.

The House of Representatives on Capitol Hill unleashes the kraken on President Trump's tax cut extension and expansion, and it comes at
