Finally first Celtics game this season. We lost, but the score wasn't the most important thing today. Plus it was a good test because Fenerbahce is a very good team, i have watched these players many times because i'm from europe i follow euro league.
What i saw tonight?
1. Rondo is Rondo. one word - leader, plus hopefully we will see improvment in his shooting this season.
2. KG and PP looked good. No need to talked about them just saying they look fit and not old.
3. Jason Terry and Jeff Green made this bench the best Celtics bench since 2007. Terry's scoring and Green versatility will create great balance between the first and second unit.
4.Courtney Lee - i hope this was just a bad game for him because he was dissapointing in both ends. In the offense he didn't shoot well, didn't create anything and defensivly, lot of points were scored over him. Avery Bradley will be our starter for sure.
5.Jared Sullinger - doesn't look like a rookie. Fitting so well with the team, showing how good rebounder he is and he can also score. He has a nose for rebounds and takes very good positions inside. Only problem could be defending bigger guys who scored easily over him.
6. Fab Melo will see a lot of D-league time.
-lineups
Garnett and Milicic will not play together. Way too slow lineup. KG will be a full time centar. Milicic will come of the bench he will not start.
Rondo - Bradley will be starting backcourt for us.
Bold prediction from myself Sullinger will start. KG and Sully fit really good and bench of Milicic,Bass,Green,Lee,Terry sounds great
