I imagine that several of you are wondering why I haven't posted anything about the Celtics practice that I saw on Saturday, thanks to the NBA's Real Training Camp feature.
I didn't write anything because, well ... oh, forget it. I can't say it better than Zach Lowe at CelticsHub did. The NBA completely missed its audience on this one. It served more as a watered-down 2008-09 recap and 2009-10 season preview -- something that die-hard Celtics fans who spent part of a Saturday night watching practice didn't need -- than an actual look at practice.
About the only interesting thing I saw was when the guys were running through offensive sets five on zero, and Doc Rivers chided rookie guard Lester Hudson for going through the motions a bit. Hudson cut to the basket without keeping his eye on the ball, and Doc asked him if he would've seen a pass coming. They ran it again and Hudson got it right. It was interesting to see coaches in the NBA get on the world's best players for the same things high school coaches ride their charges for.
Oh, and Rasheed Wallace apparently practices in ankle-length, baggy gray sweatpants, with the pockets turned out.
