Sneaker Watch // Boston Celtics 2012 Media Day

words // Brandon Richard

The Boston Celtics are about to embark on another season in which expectations from the team and Garden fans will be high. After a surprisingly great '11-'12 playoff run led by a rejuvenated Kevin Garnett, the Cs are retooled and ready to remind the league that they're not quite ready to bow out just yet. Of course, this will be done without the original "Big 3" after Ray Allen decided to take his sharpshooting to South Beach, a move that doesn't exactly sit well with Boston vets Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo. However, Danny Ainge didn't sit on his hands - he brought in some fresh faces that could very well set up a Heat/Celtics Eastern Conference Finals matchup next year.

First, there's NBA Champion and 13-year veteran Jason Terry, who will be called on to fill most of the void left by Allen's departure. Also, the Celtics are bringing back a healthy and re-signed Jeff Green, a repaired Avery Bradley and stole defensive-minded swingman Courtney Lee off of the free agency market. The rookie class includes All-American Jared Sullinger, Big East Defensive Player of the Year Fab Melo and Dionte Christmas, one of the true Summer League standouts.

Not to mention - DARKO.

Are these fresh faces enough to keep Boston in the title discussion? We'll find out in the months ahead. While you wait, check out the sneakers worn to Celtics Media Day last Friday in today's Sneaker Watch.

With a reputation for being one of the NBA's toughest players, Rajon Rondo made an unexpected return to the court this past Wednesday prior to the Celtics' game against the Detroit Pistons.

We caught up with Williams prior to the Celtics 93-92 victory Wednesday night against the Cavs to talk sneakers and Louisville's tournament chances.
