I can't believe Celtics basketball is almost back

[j804]

I know it is preseason but we are about 3 weeks away from our first game in Turkey

I'm pumped and can't wait to see what this group is going to look like.

I'm excited too! I hope when they are over seas they will bond with each other. Since they are away from family and friends they should bring back UBUNTU! GO C'S!!!

[GreenFaith1819]

Yep - right around the corner.

And roughly 6 weeks until the Jet takes off, Swag Bear makes his rookie debut, Lee, Bass, Wilcox, Truth, Rajon, KG, Super 8, Melo is Fabulous, etc..etc - all in MIA!

Can't wait to spoil Ray Allen's debut. Love ya Ray Ray, but BOS must pin that 1st loss on you on Oct 30.

And GET WELL - LockDown (AB) - BOS's got this until you get 100%! No need to rush back.

Feels good, doesn't it? I hope we make it rain on Miami's opening night ESPN parade. Go Celts.

Can't wait...

An insane fast break (welcome and welcome back)...

Count us out all you like but this team has heart, has talent, has the tools to win it all.

Heh, it really is amazing how time flies and how short the offseason is for pro basketball players.  By my counts they have the shortest layoff of all the "major" team sports.

There's no better time of the year than when the Celtics and Patriots are both in full swing.  Also I'm really happy to be going to media day this year. Looking forward to seeing the rookies/free agent signees in person!

Let's Go Celtics!

I go to Italy each year for work right around that time. Last time the arrived in Rome a few days after I flew back.
This time they play in Milan on the 7th and I fly back from that area a few days before.

I wish they would call me before they made the schedule. I'd love to see them play over there and I have quite a few friends in Italy who are Celtics fans. Would have been fun. Oh well.

[CelticSooner]

It is pretty crazy. Felt like the shortest off-season ever.
