[recap] [box score]
This game was actually played on Tuesday night, but there seems little point to me trying to glean something from a meaningless game from just a box score, when there are others out there who watched said meaningless game with their own eyes. Hence, I've waited a little while to collect impressions from fellow Celtics bloggers who live in the Boston area and could catch the game on TV:
-KG contributed six points and five rebounds in 13 minutes, and said the knee felt good.
-Highlights of KG looking like he's well on the way to a full recovery.
-Brief thoughts on the game from CelticsBlog and Celtics Hub.
The next preseason game is Friday against the Knicks. Other than Garnett's recovery, there really isn't much of interest going on in Celtics camp, particularly now that Bill Walker - the one guy with a chance to crack the rotation - is out with a torn meniscus. It's encouraging to know that Marquis Daniels and Rasheed Wallace look good, but we knew those guys would get burn. Frankly, the team is pretty much set. Lester Hudson could channel Chris Paul for the entire preseason and it probably wouldn't keep him from spending most of the season in Maine with the Red Claws. And Mike Sweetney could lead the team in scoring -- as he did against the Rockets -- in every preseason game and still get cut.
So I don't expect to do too much analysis in the preseason, since I can't watch the games, unless something major happens. I will post, after every preseason game, a roundup of reactions from the game, and comment on anything that strikes me.
