Opening remarks

Sorry for the delay. We're wirelessly challenged here at the Garden.

The assembled season-ticket holders cheered when Kevin Garnett walked in, then sustained their grins as Garnett disappeared behind a curtain before the press conference.

The presser kicked off about 20 minutes late because Garnett was late arriving following a physical. Doc Rivers, Danny Ainge, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce entered the room in that order.

The three players held up jerseys and posed for pictures to get things started. It took a little while for them to coordinate, but the shot of the three All-Stars holding up Celtics jerseys provided quite a visual. The assembled season-ticket holders (and various Celtics staffers) cheered when the trio was introduced.

Copious quotes on the way.
