Emotional, but authentic.
That’s how Celtics governor Wyc Grousbeck described his initial reaction to seeing Jrue Holiday take the floor with his new Boston teammates for the first time on Wednesday.
“We watched practice [Wednesday], the rest of us,” Grousbeck said. “Jrue was out there, and in the 21 years of being here for me and Steve [Pagliuca] we’ve agreed that this was one of the most energized, focus-driven, completely insanely connected groups.”
Grousbeck said the practice brought back memories of 2008, the last time the Celtics won a championship.
“That’s how I really felt,” Grousbeck said.
