A couple of points …
Utah’s Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams both came out to the parquet to shoot around 5:45 p.m. Williams is the unquestioned star of this Jazz team, and along with Chris Paul and Steve Nash is considered one of the best point guards in the league.
Williams is built so much differently than Rajon Rondo. Both players are about the same height, but Williams looks like a linebacker with those wide shoulders. The point guard position could be the crucial matchup in tonight’s game. It would be surprising if the Celtics let Eddie House anywhere near Williams on defense.
On the other end of the floor, P.J. Brown worked with strength and conditioning coach Ed Norton Jr. Norton led Brown through a series of squats and core-strengthening exercises. Brown appears to be in very good shape, but the Celtics are working on getting him into NBA shape.
