TEAMS: Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs
Opening night is a couple of weeks away... and the starting unit is pretty much comfortable with each other. Sure, there are some tweaks to the way things have been done in the past (like Kendrick Perkins getting some more touches), but overall... these guys don't need much more game time.

timing of that right and have to get back to the execution of that.
That's what they're trying to focus on now.
"For the new guys, they are trying to figure out all the stuff

Celtics win 4th-straight, 106-90
The Celtics have now reeled off 4 straight pre-season wins, beating down the Raptors Wednesday night, 106-90. According to some reports, KG has gone from dragging his knee around, to being as close to 100% as he's been in quite some time. Wish I could say that I could agree, but since I haven't been able to see a game yet (thanks Directv), I'll have to take those observations...
