Emily Austen and Marc D'Amico talk about Celtics perfect opening night
Celtics reporters Marc D'Amico and Emily Austen talk about Boston's perfect opening night, how the C's go ten deep and how Marcus Smart Straight up ripped Deron Williams:
Speaking of Smart, how did his opening night compare with that of ballyhooed rookies Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker?
Wiggins stat line was 6 points on 2-5 shooting and 3 rebs in a 105-101 loss to the Grizzlies. Jabari had some coast to coast highlights on his way to 3-9 and 8 points.
Unfortunately, Parker learned NBA heartbreak in his opener as Charlotte came back from a 24 point deficit to beat the Bucks in overtime behind this ridiculous game tying three at the end of regulation from Kemba Walker:
Walker agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract extension just a day earlier.
