I was originally upset that I missed the first half of the first Celtics summer league game. Then I realized that the camera angle you see in that screen grab is the only camera angle in the web broadcast. From what I could gather... Gabe Pruitt did some good things... Mike Sweetney was pretty decent early... and JR Giddens/Bill Walker flashed some athleticism. It's hard to really tell, because it was easier to tell who the players were on NBA Live 95 than it is on this camera angle. They won 87-56... which is nice. But we'll wait to see what the coaches have to say about what they saw. They had a better view than we did. In other... ahem... "news"... Gary Tanguay says Doc Rivers had his meeting with Grant HillHill
update. Doc Rivers has dinner with Grant last night. Tonight Grant is

The best player of the game in...

On the one hand, we've got us fans... who are desperately looking for any sign at all that guys like Gabe Pruitt, Lester Hudson, or Bill Walker have figured something out and will help this team.

On Sports Sunday with Tanguay and Felger they just said that by the end of the week Grant Hill will be a Celtic along with Rasheed Wallace.
