WALTHAM, Mass. - An average Boston Celtics practice lasts roughly 90 minutes.

Wednesday, being their only practice scheduled this week, was an exception, as the C’s went at it for nearly 120 minutes in preparation for their final two preseason games on Thursday and Friday.

After studying up on their film, the C’s focused heavily on their 'ice' defense. It’s a term that many newcomers are unfamiliar with or not used to, as Amir Johnson explained after practice.

“I haven’t iced in a while,” said the 6-foot-9 forward.
