Game Notes:
For the second game in a row, Boston is facing one of their division rivals. Philadelphia has been fairly inactive in the off season and so the majority of these players have been together for a year or more. As with the Nets, the Celtics will have to go through the Sixers if they are to win the conference. The Sixers are winless so far in the preseason but that could make them more dangerous.
This is the time of the preseason when coaches experiment with their lineups so, it is possible that the lineups may change. With the Celtics having 4 games in 5 nights, Doc has said that he probably won't play KG, PP, and RA in every game. Or, it is possible that he will start them and then play them fewer minutes. With the starters only playing one quarter against the Nets, they will probably start and play in this game. But this is the time when players are trying to make teams and coaches are looking at players on the bubble so expect to see a lot of the bench in this game.
