Here it is! The Boston Celtics have announced their preseason schedule. The Celtics will open the preseason on October 7th in Boston against the Raptors and then play them in Toronto on October 16. Boston opens the regular season against them on October 30 in Toronto... Guess we'll be seeing a lot of them! The Celtics play the Nets twice this preseason.  I wonder if Garnett and Pierce make the trip to Boston then, or if they'll save their return for the regular season.
