Celtics Beat Olimpia Milano In NBA Global Games

The Celtics have been building chemistry and working on combinations and rotations and will finally get to play against another team.

Former Chicago Bulls forward Andreas Nocioni, who now plays for the European giants Real Madrid, has no doubts about their chances in the game.

Avery Bradley was a reliable three-point shooter for the Celtics previous year and against Olimpia Milano he was lights out.

Experience – The Celtics are a young team and although the core were together at the end of last season, they are relatively new to each other unlike the Italian team that has played together for years on both their pro team and the National team.

Thomas and his Boston Celtics teammates opened their preseason in Italy against Olimpia Milano, and the 5-foot-9 guard led the team with 18 points in a blowout win.

Six Real Madrid players have featured in the National Basketball Association, including Howard Thompkins, Sergio Rodriguez, Jeff Taylor, Gustavo Ayon, Andreas Nocioni and Rudy Fernandez.

Lee made a big impact in all areas of the game, showing what he is capable of bringing to this young team. “It will give us more of a chance to compete, and that’s what we want”.

THUNDER: Kevin Durant says it feels like his absence has been a lot longer than eight months. Durant had not played since February 19 because of a broken right foot. The third-seeded Spaniard picked up his game considerably following his first-round victory over the 230th-ranked Chinese wild card Wu Di, during which he was broken four times.

Harry Gallatin, the Hall of Fame basketball player who was a seven-time All-Star forward for the New York Knicks in the 1950s, died.

The Knicks and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, where Gallatin was a former coach and athletic director, confirmed the death through Gallatin’s family. The Celtics were fine with waiting on Smart to mature, but the team was pleasantly surprised with his quick development after his first season in a Celtics’ uniform.

Lee scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting in just 21 minutes.

Called “The Horse” for his rugged play, the 6-foot-6 Gallatin never missed a game or practice in his career.

Gallatin coached at Southern Illinois-Carbondale from 1958-1962, going 79-36 with the Salukis. Silver says he doesn’t think “it’s going to happen in the very near future”. Additionally, the discussion touches on how Stevens will have to approach the season finding minutes for many deserving players (spoiler alert: The answer is “very carefully”). Essentially every Boston tried worked – from the early post-ups to collapse Milan’s defense to the later ball-movement and 3-point shooting that helped Boston shoot an absurd 56.1 percent from the field.
