Before the tip off of the Celtics home opener, Kemba Walker addressed a sold out TD Garden, promising the fans that the team would “work hard all year, go hard all year.” It was the kind of all-for-one, one-for-all attitude that he and his teammates have been cultivating since Team Shamrock got together for Team USA in the FIBA World Cup and then later in training camp.
However, on an individual basis, Walker has had a tough start to the season. Through the first six quarters of his Celtics career, Kemba was a miserable 5-for-27 in Philadelphia and against the Raptors in the first half.
