Final Focus; Further Research Needed

When I started the project, I started giving information and reporting on games of the Celtics'. As my blog analysis pointed out, however, I have started to explore the statistics and the importance of the Celtics' bench. I have started to do supplemental research in order to prove my point that a deep "supporting cast" is necessary for a team to be successful, and prove that the Celtics' bench players are some of the strongest in the league. I would like to learn and find out by researching statistics, and player comments and reactions from press conferences. A primary source of these statistics may be from box scores in the newspaper or online.

I am trying to arrange at least an email interview with someone in contact with the Celtics, for example someone that works in the front office of the organization, or perhaps someone from the press. I am looking to get a hold of either of the Celtics radio announcers, Sean Grande and Cedric Maxwell, to get some in depth insight into a topic that they would know just as well as anyone. I have a few questions ready to ask if I can get a hold of any of them. I was also thinking that I would try to talk to local news sports host Lee Goldberg about some of his thoughts on the Celtics.

I have not put much thought into my oral presentation, I do not think that the time parameters will be hard to meet, as this is a topic that I am passionate about and could talk about for much longer than 20 minutes if needed. I think that it may be difficult to do an interactive activity with this topic, as several people have posted on my blog that basketball is not anything that they are familiar with. If I can come up with a strong activity, it may help get the attention of my classmates and make them slightly more knowledgeable with the sport.
