The following is the official starting lineup:

PG: Avery Bradley
SG: Courtney Lee
SF: Jeff Green
PF: Brandon Bass
C: Jared Sullinger

Ugh not crazy about the Bass Sully combo.  Didn't seem to work that great last year.

May not last past this game, they said don't put much weight into the starting lineups in the preseason. Apparently they may change from game to game (especially these 8 preseason games).

General question, looking for opinions:

Can anything be learned or suggested about the C's during the pre-season?

My opinion is that little will be learned definitively other than whether Sully looks like he's pre-surgery Sully.    I think we can get a feel for whether the rookies and younger players belong in the league. This applies primarily to KO, Pressey and Feverani.  I  think we'll see whether Wallace and Humphries become fan favorites (right now I think both could).   I'd like to see AB and JG look like they could take their games to another level.

Tommy hyperbole alert:

Rookie KO > Rookie Dirk

Classic Tommy didn't waste anytime with the Kelly- Dirk comparions.

Tommys the reason why I thought we had a chance at a championship every year during the mid-late 90's

Nice post. I think what you can learn is which rookies are NBA material. Of course the injury bounce backs are key to watch too.

I raised my eyebrow when he said that. lol
I was like, man i sure hope tommy is right. haha

[steefp2]

OK people, I'm ready. Wearing all the Celtic gear i can possibly fit on my body and just plain excited. Even though it's only pre-season and our beloved Celtics aren't going to be that great this season it feels like the first day of spring.

NBA is back!

They still have that picture of the 2007-2008 training camp team from Rome behind Brad Stevens in the pre game interview. Awkward?
