Boston kicks off game action, albeit preseason, this Tuesday when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers. Preseason games obviously don't mean a whole lot and typically have no impact on veteran or star players, however, they can be a showcase of sorts for the younger guys and players trying to prove themselves to the coach for more minutes. That being said, the Celtics do have a few story lines and guys to keep an eye on in these two upcoming exhibitions;

The one that most fans will be looking for, is Aaron Nesmith. Boston drafted Nesmith to be a knock down shooter that can benefit from the Jays getting lots of defensive attention, something the Celtics haven't had in years.
