CELTICS open practice 10/16

[Greeny]

Celtics open practice is 10/16 at Lowell Tsongas Arena @ 7:30pm (Friday)
Season ticket holders only, but I bought extra tickets on eBay last year for $5 each.
No assigned seating, but courtside is off limits unless you have courtside seats. ($500-$1250 per seat per game)

They used to give out free stuff, but not last year...
It is a good time in a small venue, then BBD addresses the crowd and introduces everyone. (He did the last 2 years.)

Cheerleaders were there too.

these practices are boring.  the old ones they held at healthpoint were unbelievably cool....but that was when they were a struggling young team with not as big of a fan base.  i miss the old bbq's too

Yeah the BBQs were awesome. They def need to bring that back or something similiar to the event.

I got into one of those a few years back (practice at healthpoint) right when KG went down with injury; it was on superbowl sunday and maybe 50 of us were there; it wasn amex rewards thing, and it was awesome.  Ate a buffet breakfast; JoJo was the keynotes speaker. Tons of raffles, got to meet celtics dancers (meh) and JoJo, then the main event. Full practice in prep for a game the next day.  I was impressed with how businesslike the team was.  I realized Rondo was amazingly fast; Pruitt was useless, Doc yelled at him multiple times for not knowing what he was supposed to be doing, and everyone could shoot.  Ray hit about 20 in a row from outside.  It says a lot for the defenses in the league that shooting percentages are what they are, because watching House, Ray and Scal, you'd think they could shoot 80% in a game.

 We keep looking for it to see if it comes back online, but so far no dice.

I went to this practice last year... it was pretty meh as far as I was concerned. Not very lively, although seeing Ray shoot up close and personal, and NOT MISS A SINGLE ONE was pretty cool.
