Celtics Stuff Live:
Finally some actual basketball! No more speculating based on rumors- tonight is the first time we see this team in action since they were eliminated by the Orlando Magic in May.
Thoughts after watching the first half:
KG looked like KG. In eight 1st quarter minutes he drained two 18 footers, played great defense including two steals, and had three rebounds. He would have had an ally-oop from Rondo but was fouled. His feet and hands are very active. No complaints or concerns.
Sheed still has it. He was all over the place on defense. He had three blocks and a steal and definitely made his presence felt in the paint. He drained a three pointer and a long two on the offensive end as well.
Rondo looked a little sloppy on both ends of the ball. He had a few turnovers and let Aaron Brooks burn him on more than one occasion.
Perkins and Davis are more mobile then they were last year. They're both still big enough to be presences down low, but at the same time they are quicker. Perkins played good defense down low early on.
Daniels airballed his first three pointer attempt, but looked solid after that. He even played the pg position for a bit and held it down just fine.
Pierce and Ray were smooth out there as usual. Nothing to report on that front.
Welcome Shelden WIlliams! Put back dunk off a JR Giddens ft. miss.
Tommy Point Count: Eddie House, 1. Lester Hudson 1. Both plays were them diving for the ball.
Unintentional comedy: Brian Scalabrine covering Chase Budinger. Twins?
