Let The Championship Season begin...

Celtics favored by 2.5 points.

Best Celtics team since 2008.
No reason why they shouldn't win the Title.

Must win!

Interesting. Don't want to read too much into a short clip where guys are going half speed. But he's showing a nice combination of size + skill + confidence here.

Kind of cool to just see him right out there on the practice floor literally only like an hour after his signing was announced (just got waived by the Knicks yesterday) and is already out there hitting shots over guys who have been with the Celtics for years.

Kid looks like he can play.
Well, the Celtics are looking really good, this year; in both Boston and Maine.

No injuries, either side, AFAIK.

Knicks have a decent team. They'll be in the playoffs, for sure. But not a contender to win the conference.

I figure they'll be 5 or 6 seed, maybe 4th if they stay healthy enough..

No more excuses... just win!

Start the season strong, Celtics by 10+!

From the Knicks board...

Opening Night: Knicks vs Celtics, Wed., Oct. 25, 7:00 PM EST, ESPN

New York and Boston split their preseason match-ups, one win apiece. In each game, the losers rested their starters.

There’s nothing new to say about Boston after all our preseason coverage. If the recalibrated Celtics—now with Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis—can stay on the court and off the stretcher, they stand a good chance of losing in the NBA Finals. The Knicks underwelmed in the preseason, but maybe they were conserving their energy for game one? Let’s hope.

New York won three of four games against the Celts in 2022-23. This time around, splitting their season series seems a more realistic goal, at least based on their preseason performance. As for Wednesday night, the Knicks will win a tight contest, in front of a delirious MSG crowd

Joe mentions in the post-practice interview that the whole team is completely healthy entering opening night.

Doubt he'll get much run with the big squad, but I've been wanting a 4 with size for a good while now. Stevens plays bigger than his height though. Anyway, seems like an excellent signing. Brad has had a very strong offseason.

He even scored over Payton Pritchard!

I just noticed that's Rondo feeding him, too. I bet Rondo misses being in the gym with a team. He'll be a coach sooner or later. I hope he comes back here to be an assistant.
