wouldn't Lakers games be more pleasing to his constituency? Or, the Golden State Warriors, who may be closer to Fresno? Sacramento Kings? LA Clippers even?

"Nunes, R-Calif., has reportedly been a Celtics fan since high school, though he grew up in Tulare, California. He used the money from his political action committee last year on three occasions to buy tickets."

........snip

"Nunes responded, “I wish I could help you,” when McClatchy approached him Wednesday with questions about his PAC spending. His office would not respond to requests for comment."

"All Boston, Vegas and winery charges were listed as fundraising expenses."

"Fundraising"--yeah, right.
