Celtics Practice

I have the great fortune of knowing an employee of Comcast Sports, and got passes to see the Celtics practice on Sunday. I took some vids, and have posted one of these on Youtube, and can post several more if you are interested. This is KG, Ray, and House shooting around after practice. I have several others as well, a nice sequence of PP and Ray one on one I will upload tomorrow maybe. Let me know if you want more.

Very impressive.

I remember watching Glen RIce make 18 18 footers in a row during warmups once (with the Knicks).

But watching KG bury jumper after unblockable jumper is very impressive. Never anyone like him.

House is hot stuff, and Ray Ray makes it look easy, too.

House and Ray were doing it from behind the 3 point line, House just like KG was from 21 feet. After watching this video, even though it's a 2 pointer, you want Garnett taking 21 footers all day.

do you have any of rondo shooting? or maybe perk shooting the supposed 18 footer?

great stuff...please do post more...

A shooting coach would probably tell Ray Allen not to bring the ball down like he does. He catches it at the chest, brings it down and then up again...

Well..Eddie House does it also...but he doesn't go as far down as Ray...

But all those guys can shoot like...woah! haha

Whats crazy is most scrubs on the bench of mediocre college teams can do the same thing. There are a lot of great basketball players out there, makes you appreciate the amazingly high threshhold it takes too be an NBA player.

I heard a rumor the Miami game will be the first road game in HD.

I will upload more to Youtube soon. I had a tragedy in the family this week, and I haven't had a lot of free time. Some thoughts on Practice:

1. Perk and Baby switched a lot between working with the 1st team.
2. Doc's favorite targets in practice, Baby and Rondo. One exchange had Doc yelling: "Glenn, can you make that shot from the block? Well can you? I think you can, do you? Then take it."
3. I have a great one on one sequence with Paul and Ray I will upload next. The C's do a great drill where they run a mulitple screen play to get a man free, then the defender that ends up with him after the 5 on 5 play guards him one on once while everyone else backs off the floor. The two play one on one 21 style until one of them gets a hoop.
4. Pruitt burned PP badly in the above drill (#3) for a nasty reverse layup on the baseline. Paul did not look pleased, but more shocked than anything.
5. PP, Rondo, and Clifford Ray rode the bike to start practice. The rest ran stretching drills.
6. PP looks much skinnier in person. Noticeably.
7. Tommy is great to be around. Was great with everyone, as was Tony Allen.
8. Tibadeau (sp?) ran a significant portion of practice on the defensive side of things. Was fascinating.
