The Celtics Open Practice is never anything all that exciting, but we still decide to go every year by the time it rolls around, because we are just so darned excited for the season to start. The excitement was only increased by the NBA lockout.
The Green versus White scrimmage was fun. There was a flurry of last second scoring and lead changes, culminating in an Avery Bradley 3 for the win.
The item of note this year, is that when they went through the whole roster and announced everybody, they didn’t mention Jeff Green – we definitely noticed and wondered what was up. The news wasn’t released until later about his heart condition. We will definitely miss him this season. We like him.
