Should be a fun game to watch, tons of scoring w/ the Wiz involved.

As a Knicks fan ill be interested to see how the Celtics use their bench because IMO thats going to be the key to their season. We all know about the big 3 but their bench is weak, really weak IMO & ill be interested to see how they are used & how they perform.

The Celtics cruised to a 103-83 victory against a talented Washington team. Kevin Garnett put up a 20/20 night...hopefully the first of many in a Celtics uniform.

Game MVP:

(22 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks)

Game LVP:

(Arenas: 5-20 FG, 4 TOs)
