It will also be on NBA-TV at midnight ET. Also, they should have a link on NBA.com to watch it later if you don't catch it the first time since the have ones for the other camps that were already on. I can't wait to watch it.

This is pretty disappointing. They keep the camera focused on 1 player when they start talking about them (KG, Rasheed), and at one point, they had the camera on Maxwell and Aldridge while the game was going on behind them!!! I want to see the game!!!

This is just annoying. Can we please watch the GAME please!!! I don't care what the commentators have to say. I don't care about Pierce sitting on the bench. I don't care what Rondo did in last year's playoffs. I'm tuning in to watch the GAME.

Even though NBA.com thought Celtics fans would enjoy seeing Aldridge and Maxwell talk while the real action was going on behind them, we were still able to catch some of the game.

From what I saw, there were some good things to be said:

-we are a competitive bunch. Sure the guys are a tight knit group, and they do look like they are on the same page, but they are going hard against each other. Perk slammed the padding on the wall when the ref called him for a foul against Scalabrine. He's certainly not taking this as just a scrimmage--he's out there competing.

-Rajon already has his game face on, and I saw him take a deep shot from near straightaway top of the key, and I could tell his form looked better. His hands and arm extended and followed through much better than before.

-KG was focused, and instinctively knows his defensive assignments, but was cautiously holding back some. I'm glad Doc is resting him.

-Shelden Williams could surprise people. He's been known to have good fluidity and agility, and it looks like he moves well on defensive switches. He looks like he can give us garbage points the way Powe used to (though I think Powe is better at it).

-Baby does look slimmer, and so does Pierce.

I was disappointed in the lack of footage of the players playing. I guess part of that was the fact that Doc stopped practice because the floor was slippery. But even before, they weren't showing a lot of action. What I saw I liked though. I really liked when they showed Ray helping Shelden get that defensive assignment. I wasn't too happy to hear that KG has shin problems. I can't wait till Wednesday to see some real action!!!

Yeah, Max and Aldridge over did the B.S. Maybe they figured it would be a long work out and they had time to parlez vous but with these guys sweating gallons the moisture level screwed the practice up. The positive I got from the practice was we are a much better team than last season. The negative I got concerns KG. It was stated by Ainge he has some level of discomfort in the knee and that makes him less than 100% (my opinion). My guess is he won't be coming out strong for 30 games or so. I look to other similar knee injuries and repairs and something is always lost after the repair. Nothing is ever as good as the God given gifts. Wallace is going to have one hell of a season I predict. He has a lot of emotion tied up inside of him. He wll display that this season. When the fans start appreciating his talents it will release his true self. Right now we're a deep playoff team. If Rondo can step up his growth pattern again and KG gets to 75% of his old self in addition to the help Ainge got us it looks like a very positive season. Wallace will over produce, Rondo will settle in the top 5 point positions in the NBA and KG will be less than himself but formidable. With the admirable performance with just 7 in the rotation we had in the playoffs last season this season should be a dream. The first 20 games we will put distance between us and those still in the early season slumber. Whereas in the past I had doubts about Doc, confidence has now been replaced with the coaching staff. Doc has at least shown he can deal with bloated personallities Churchill like.
