Players to Watch Rajon Rondo has stated that this season he wants to remove all doubt that he is the best PG in the league.
Shaq and Erden were both impressive in last night's win and they get a bigger challenge in this one as they face one of the best young centers in the league.
Paul Pierce was questioning who was going to guard him in practice and it appears the answer to that question is Marquis Daniels. Quisy needs to prove that he is up for the task of being Pierce's back up.

Players to watch In his 3rd season, Brook Lopez is one of the best young centers in the league and will be a good early test for the Celtics new front line
Derrick Favors was the #3 pick in the draft and at 6'10" with a 7'4" wingspan, they are expecting a lot from him but can he guard Kevin Garnett? With Murphy out this preseason, Favors will get more minutes to prove himself.
There may be a battle over the PG position between Jordan Farmar and Devin Harris. Both have similar stats and this will be a good test against the Celtics PG's. With Harris injured, Farmar will have plenty of time to try to win the job.
Game Notes NBA.com shows this game as being televised on NBA-TV but as with anything else in the pre-season, who knows. The Nets are looking to bounce back after an embarrassing 2009-10 season. They have a new coach and some new faces and will be looking to make a big improvement over last season. They are 2-0 so far, but they haven't had any strong competition so far. Expect both teams to experiment with lineups as they look for chemistry and to set their rosters.
