#12 & #55 Meet the Media

"Kevin's a great teacher. Actually, the best teacher that I've ever coached, by far. But if you don't listen the first time, he'll never teach you again, and that's just how he works. We warn guys of that, and some follow, and end up being coached by Kevin Garnett, and some think they know it all, and they're not."
-Doc Rivers

#12 JaJuan & #55 E'Twaun met the media for the first time officially as Boston Celtics team members. In regards to the life lessons of KG, Johnson will "definitely listen". He better. As Patrick O'Bryant once learned, these classes are not an easy A, particularly for those that don't pay attention:

To Rivers' earlier point about past teammates who didn't listen, a post-practice session between Garnett and former C's center Patrick O'Bryant from two years ago still comes to mind. Garnett spent the entire time dunking over the blank-faced O'Bryant and shouting, "Do you feel me?" -Mark Murphy

Not a whole lot of updates from Ainge other than the usual media mumbo-jumbo. Meaning no movement before the lockout, Green's qualifying offer will be made, no updates on Davis'/Delonte's status with the team, nor updates on potential return of the other bench filler from the 2010-11 squad (yes to Arroyo/Pavlovic but no to Wafer/Murphy), nor any potential free agent targets (from Marquis to CP3).

“We can’t really get anything major done. We’ll have some more conversations before July 1 comes along, and then we’ll just go from there. I think we’re all hopeful, but we just have to deal with what’s there.” -Danny Ainge

Translation, get ready for an even slower summer than normal and who knows how long this lockout will be. Here's a clip from the Media session with the new Rookies:
