WALTHAM, Mass. -- While the White team (reserves) was besting the Green team (starters) during the Boston Celtics' intrasquad scrimmage at TD Garden on Friday night, president of basketball operations Danny Ainge noted that the second unit had been dominating scrimmages during the early portion of training camp, having won three straight mini-game sessions through Friday night.
Celtics fans can take this news one of two ways: Either the reserves are playing at an extremely high level or the starters have limped out of the gate. Given the rave reviews coming out of camp for the backup backcourt of Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier, it's fair to assume it might be a bit more the former than the latter.
