The Boston Celtics, your number one destination for hot blonde reporters. From Austin to Leahy to Pflugrad.

Let's get go....even though it's preseason this is a game to give the Jazz something to ponder. I don't think they're all that much better than us. Their starting 5 is good not great and their bench looks questionable. We have questions too but I believe our bench will be solid. Scoring won't be our problem so I'm looking at our defense as the main focus.

Let's go Lakers!
I'm so excited to get this year going.
We have a lot to look foreward to. Lot of young guys who have a ton to prove.
And some veterans who know how to play, if only their bodies and health would comply.

I'm definitely looking forward to see what D Russ can do, but I'm intrigued by the Randle/Favors matchup.

One of the best times of the year. I'm hyped.

Really curious to see how our frontcourt matches up against Favors and Gobert.

Basketball is finally back. Thank goodness. Hope to see some positive player development and the start of an identity forming for a new era of Lakers basketball.

Would love to see Hibbert outplay Gobert and I think he can... even though Gobert is more athletic .. Hibbert has the psychical tools to push him and use his advantage in the paint.

He played in yesterday's scrimmage so it would be surprising if he didn't play for an actual game.
