We have finally started the pre-season! We opened up with the Celtics tonight in Rome. A lot of people showed up to the game and I think we played well for the first time out. KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce play well together. We played well together too, but I think some guys were really nervous and excited so we came out kind of frantic. I played OK. I'm still trying to get back in the swing of things. Since I didn't get to play a lot during the summer (because of my foot), I have to catch up with everyone else, but I'll get it done.

I'm looking forward to playing KG a lot more this season too. He's one of the best competitors in the league and he brings it every night. Since I watched him growing up so much, it's real cool to go up against him.
