MY NOTE:  Our first pre-season game is against Toronto.  Is that considered "International"?  Say no, and piss off a Canadian.  NOTHING pisses them off more than to be considered the 51st state.  LOL.  Assuming the answer is no, then Celtics camp starts on 10/1.  The Lakers, for our resident Laker fan, begin on 9/28.  Celtics camp starts 37 days from today, but who's counting?  I am!
