Why Brian Scalabrine and NBC Sports Boston didn’t call the Celtics’ Christmas Day game from Toronto

Brian Scalabrine keeps himself busy, what with his NBC Sports Boston duties as a Celtics analyst, hosting his daily “Scal and Pals’’ podcast on Radio.com, and assorted other professional and personal duties. He’s even currently promoting a pasta sauce — Scal’s Big Red Sauce. What else would it be called?

But what he hasn’t figured out how to do is be two places at once. It just seemed that he had during and after NBC Sports’s Christmas Day broadcast of the Celtics’ victory over the Raptors in Toronto.

During the game, Scalabrine served as the color analyst on the broadcast alongside Mike Gorman, just as he has on road games since returning to NBC Sports Boston in 2014-15.
