That's because instead of going about 2,400 miles between Boston and Utah... they'll be going about 100 miles north to Portland, Maine. 

Today, the Maine Red Claws announced, officially, that they'll be affiliated with the Celtics and the Charlotte Bobcats. 

I think this is great news because it allows fans much easier access to some of the young guys.  I know a lot of our own readers will be able to swing by a Red Claws game and check out someone like Giddens, Walker or Hudson... and we'll be able to get first-hand reports about how a certain player is doing.
