Courtney Lee flies in and blocks a Jason Terry jumper after the first team tuned it over. Already living up to his defensive reputation.

Terry's looking like the primary ball handler for the second unit right now.

De facto big man coach Kevin Garnett tutoring rookie Fab Melo on baseline as second unit runs skeleton offense.

Rajon Rondo just told reporters that if there's one thing he wants to improve on this season, it's limiting his turnovers.

Other than rookies, Jeff Green is lone #Celtics player on the floor shooting 30 minutes after practice.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Glad to hear Jeff Green is in shape and playing well. Him and Lee are key for us to win a chip this year. Paul's quote has me very excited! Leggooooooooo Celticssssssssss!

Is Jamar Smith being on the 2nd unit an indication that Christmas is the one in danger of being cut? I hope not.

Well, I know Smith was playing PG for the second team when they were scrimmaging out in LA. Hopefully that's all this is.

Thanks for the compilation, bertrob. Good stuff.

LOVE IT! If we could just stay relatively healthy this year, it could be a super exciting season.

I think it was mentioned that terry was taking care of the ball handling in the 2nd unit.

[2Mas]

Doubt Smith makes it over Christmas.. They're probably just giving Smith a look with better ppl. It's only day one no big deal.

I love everything i'm hearing & seeing so far. It's awesome to see some footage & some reports on everyone.


30 days from today! Let's just get in awesome shape & run teams out of the gym!

[15th overall]

With the roster as is Terry should be the primary ball handler when Rondo's not in the game anyway.

[LarryBirdsFingr]

I'm ready for 2-1, 3-1 fast breaks.

I'm ready for a new uptempo offense.

I'm ready to hoist the chip.

[Bertrob]

Can we unsticky the offseason thread and sticky this one? We could update practice info here

and I'm hoping AB gets on the floor before Xmas (not the player).
Our 2nd unit might be real fun to watch and our 1st unit ought to have more hustle. BTW, who is our starting 4?

[UGA Hayes]

Probably Bass until he loses the job.
