CELTICS ARE ALL FIRED-UP

The Boston Celtics really mean business. Even in practices, the intensity is on a high level. Take the recent 2-on-2 incident during a Celtics practice session where guards Delonte West and Von Wafer nearly came to blows after tempers flare up, according to Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com.

“After the Celtics completed an abbreviated session, a handful of players were brought together for some 2-on-2 exercises with Delonte West and Semih Erden squaring off against Von Wafer and Luke Harangody. 

“Things got a bit heated when West, displaying his usual full-throttle style, worked over Wafer for consecutive baskets. With Wafer agitated, West shouted twice, "Do something about it." West then went right back at Wafer, aggressively trying to back him down before assistant coach Lawrence Frank called a foul, attempting to prevent things from escalating further. 

“West again told Wafer to "do something about it," with a not-so complimentary description tagged on at the end. That's when Jermaine O'Neal stepped in, along with Frank, who reminded the players to cool it with the media present. Wafer ultimately retreated to the locker room.”
