How long have you lived here? longinexx truth The much-anticipated debut of Royce White was derailed a bit as he picked up four fouls in his first 2 minutes, 42 seconds of action.

Brett Brown, who grew up in the New England area, said it was special to coach against the team he watched as a kid. "You couldn't help but watch them all the time. I'd go to my grandfather's house, and he would be sitting downstairs with a fire going and watching the Celtics or the Red Sox or the Bruins or the Patriots, a die-hard Boston fan. We grew up in that environment, and, being the son of a coach, I was always looking.

I loved that part of it. I love basketball, but the Boston thing more from a parochial standpoint."
