Celtics Training Camp, 10/03/09 (7:00pm)

I still miss Cousy, but Cedric is easy to listen to.  (He is hard to see through, though, 

I don't mind Ced, when he sticks to serious analysis.  It's all the ridiculous quacking and his over the top hyperbole meant to draw attention (Dirk is better than Larry, etc.) that get under my skin.

Tonight, he was fine.  I just wish they'd let him (and us) watch and comment on the scrimmage.

hey guys! i missed the practice, i was out for the night. did i miss anything good?

[Steve Weinman]

Well, at least we know BBD is a hit with the 15 year olds.

Not as much with 10-year-olds in Orlando though.  Or however old that kid with the complaining father was.

Watching this on NBATV right now.  Who is #45?  Did they invite Michael Sweetney (or the person who ate Michael Sweetney) to camp?

KG looks decent though.  He clearly is still working his way back, but I feel much better seeing him out there moving.  His lateral quickness is definitely better than I expected.

Sweetney looks like the token college basketball fat guy who you'll see a coach throw into the game for either 5 minutes or until he runs out of steam (whichever comes first), that doesn't actually do anything but is mildly entertaining for the viewer that otherwise has no reason to watch. Too bad for him this is the NBA and he's competing to make a team that has no room for him (pun intended).

Exactly.  Who wants to see Max talking in the foreground with KG running out of focus in the background?

As an afterthought, Danny Ainge looks 25 lbs. lighter and 10 years younger.  Good to see him looking healthy.

Yeah, KG mentioned that a couple days ago, that it's his lateral movement that is a lot farther ahead than he was expecting.

[Brickowski]

I turned it off after 20 minutes.  You couldn't see the basketball, just the talking heads.  Very disappointing.

Most of the actual "basketball" was on at the end.  I enjoyed it...but you did have to go through a lot of talk to get to it...

Yeah, and most of that was from practice shot earlier in the day, rather than from the scrimmages.  It shouldn't have been that difficult to focus on the game for a couple of 8 minute scrimmages.

[Brickowski]

When will NBA TV wake up?  I don't know who is a bigger idiot, Rich Kamla or the bozo who was on last night.  Where is Peter Vescey when we really need him? 

[thirstyboots18]

Who are you referring to...Cedric Maxwell? Wouldn't exactly call him a bozo...
