 Tommy would be happy.  Minus the 50 three's per game!

 Pritchard,  White, Minott, Simon's, Brown, Walsh,  Boucher, These guys can fly up and down the court and run all day.

 Sounds like Joe is getting them in top shape and preparing for running teams off the court.

 Be prepared for one of the fastest paces in the NBA!

Is sure is, but you need to control the defensive boards to get the ball to push it.

It's almost like this team is built around the idea of having a beast defensive rebounder in the middle for us.

Let me just look up who had the best defensive rebounding percentage in the NBA last year ...

(you should too :) )

Funny.  I was going to guess Philly because they used Drummond so much, but they were dead last!
Yup

Personally I'm excited to

A) See the Celtics play faster
and
B) See the Celtics try to force more turnovers.

I understand why they've played slow on offense and conservatively on defense in the past, but this version of the team needs to up variance both offensively and defensively to steal some wins. Its the right strategy, we'll see if they can actually implement.
