The Celtics begin their Vegas Summer League games today at 4:00 PM ET vs the Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics are coming off of an impressive 4-1 showing in Orlando and will look to improve on that success with games against the Hawks, Bulls, Bucks, and the Clippers. There are 17 other teams playing in Vegas that the Celtics won't face including the Hornets, Heat, Knicks and Lakers. Austin Rivers will have to wait for his first competition vs his Dad's Celtics.
The Celtics 5 games will be televised, as follows:
Monday, July 16 vs ATL 4:00 PM ET NBA-TV
Wednesday, July 18 vs CHI at 12:00 PM ET NBA-TV

Saturday, July 21 vs MIL at 10:30 PM ET NBA-TV
Sunday, July 22 vs LAC at 6:00 PM ET NBA-TV and CSNNE
It's nice to see that CSNNE will be televising 2 of the games. I hope we get to see Mike and Tommy. I sure miss those two. It will also help me avoid getting up at 2:00 AM to watc...

Greg Stiemsma likely to be a Timberwolf
WEEI.com</a>
According to a report from Darren Wolfson of ESPN, the Timberwolves expect to sign restricted free agent center Greg Stiemsma.
Stiemsma, who averaged 2.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 55 games with the Celtics as a rookie in 2011-12, visited with the Timberwolves at the start of the free-agency period. Wolfson reports that because the Celtics are over...
JO: Celtics Weren't a Good Fit
Jermaine O'Neal said that Boston wasn't a good fit for him. He's looking forward to finding a situation where he can have a better role.— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) July 17, 2012
After taking $12 million over 2 seasons from the Celtics and playing in a grand total of 49 games, Jermaine O'Neal had the nerve to say that the Celtics weren't a good fit for him...
Boston Celtics Las Vegas Summer League observations, Day 1: Fab Melo reveals promise, upside
My apologies for a summer league recap that’s a day late and a few dozen dollars short, but I had a men’s league game in Springfield (an hour away from my house) last night for which I had to leave as soon as the Celtics game ended. I realize there might be one or two of you who actually value my opinions on Boston’s youngsters, and to you I am truly sorry — not just because...
Kevin Garnett's Influence Motivates Brandon Bass, Other Celtics
Brandon Bass did not allow himself to be starstruck for long after joining the Celtics last season. He spent the first day in slight awe every time Paul Pierce brought up the ball or Ray Allen drained a jump shot, but by the second day, Bass had shed his wonderment. Still, he never lost his admiration for Kevin Garnett and the startling work ethic the 17-year veteran displayed during...

Can E'Twaun Crack the Rotation?
With the Celtics inability to complete a sign and trade with Dallas, it seems Courtney Lee will not be landing with the C's as Jason Terry will be using up the full Mid-Level. With Shooting Guard Avery Bradley in danger of missing some time to start the season as he recovers from 2 shoulder surgeries, the Celtics will need someone to emerge to take some minutes in a 3-guard...
Manna from hell: Darko Milicic should not intrigue the Boston Celtics
Editor’s note: This piece is written by Tom Westerholm, one of Celtics Town’s new interns who are all plotting to take over the NBA world. He also writes for HowlinTwolf.com and HoopsAddict.com, and he clearly isn’t very fond of the disturbing thought that Darko Milicic might actually be on the Celtics’ radar.

Comments from the other side - Hawks SL Bonus Edition
I came across a summer league game thread from yesterday's game thread and the comments were so good I just had to share. It appears that Hawks fans are quite bitter over their losses to the Celtics. I guess losing to the dame team year after year after year will do that to you! There aren't a lot of comments like there are for regular season, but what they lack in quantity...
