Wednesday, the Boston Celtics tip off their four-game exhibition slate with a preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum. Before flying out on Tuesday, the team held a three-hour practice session on Monday at the Auerbach Center.
Jaylen Brown described it to Hardwood Houdini as, "Physical, intense pace. The coaching staff has done a good job of setting the tempo on pace. This preseason has probably been my hardest preseason, I think I've had [from] a conditioning standpoint and a physicality standpoint, but that's what we're going to need this season."
The 2024 NBA Finals MVP also shared with Hardwood Houdini what he wants to see from the Celtics in Wednesday's first exhibition game against the Grizzlies.
