Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 Former Celtics star center, Robert Parish , was recently asked which team would win in a clash between the 2024 Champion "Green" and the 1986 roster . "The Chief" answered that the 1986 crew would prevail because nobody had an answer for Bill Walton . I love the present Celtics team, but the 85-86 group may be the best NBA crew ever assembled . The 80s group were at their peak, and Bill Walton had an injury-free season, walking away with the 6th-Man-of-the-Year award. Bill was a luxury for a team so stacked. Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Parish, Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge were generally the starters, and Walton, Scott Wedman and Jerry Sichting came off the bench. Before coming to Boston, Walton had won many awards, including MVP and Finals MVP . Wedman had been a two-time All-Star prior to becoming a Celtic. That was quite a bench. The 80s Celtics had it all - no weaknesses . It started with size. They were long in the front court, and when Coach K C Jones wa...

      How about them Jays! The NBA has a problem and it's Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. These dudes are shaping into form and come playoffs they will be on a mission. They took what was the remains of a Warrior's roster and beat em down. It was good to see old friend Kristaps Porzingis. If he's healthy last season I bet we go back to back. When he's healthy he's incredibly good. Defensively he's a stud and offensively he's elite. Maybe just maybe he will come back here next year on a team friendly contract.       It's so fun watching everyone on this roster excel. Baylor has become a dawg on D and can rebound with any guy his size. His offensive game is tight. Whether he hits threes or gets to the paint. He's going to come up big for us in the playoffs especially on defense. Derrick White seems to be invigorated now that JT is back. His shot if finally looking like it did last season. Our two headed monster in the middle continues to play solid bask...

      Cs have been playing relatively well especially on offense tonight. I've seen some excellent passing from everyone. The way this team finds each other is a beautiful thing to watch.  Defensively we need to buckle down, 61 points in a half is a bit much. I really need to see the Cs get dirty in the second half. Derrick White is having himself quite a great first half. He's been on fire and yet left points out there. JB has made some incredible shots off the dribble. To the point that I'm in awe of what I'm seeing from him. It'd going to take a lot more of those plays to get this W.      JT has been solid out there and his ability to pass is a thing of beauty. The fact that we get to see him ball is a gift. He's rounding into form and if I'm the NBA I'm afraid. The Cs are honoring a very special team tonight. As you can see from the photo above those three were incredibly special. Hondo, JoJo and Big Red exemplified being Celtics. Hondo was a walki...

 I have had many very-strange, even frightening, incidents in my life. Most I can explain, while others remain a mystery. Here are four examples. The phantom piano player I was in my late teens and home alone. Or was I alone? There was t otal quiet until I heard someone, or something, playing the piano in the basement.  I grabbed a handgun - turned on the cellar light - and walked down the stairs. There was no one on the piano stool. The entire cellar was vacant. I went back upstairs and within minutes, the piano playing started again . There was no melody to it, but those piano keys were being struck by some unknown force . This was starting to get scary. Back down the cellar stairs I went once again. I was cautious and frightened.. I wished that there was somebody else with me. Then I saw the intruder. It was a grey squirrel walking across the piano keys.   I quickly evicted the intruder and breathed several sighs of relief.  The voice in the darkness I was on...

 The Boston Celtics currently hold a somewhat shaky hold on the second seed in the Eastern Conference. "The Green" have a record of 44-23 but are trailed by the New York Knicks with a 43-25 record. Should Boston meet the Knicks in the post-season, home court advantage may be critica l, even though the Celtics' road record is almost as good as its home numbers. But the Celtcs are 1-2 against New York this season, and as many as four playoff contests in Madison Square Garden would not be what Joe Mazzulla is looking forward to. Let me be blunt. At very least, the refs do not seem to favor Boston when it comes to calling - or not calling - fouls. But as Jaylen Brown has possibly inferred, the refs - and the League - may just feel that "The Green" have accumulated enough awards over the years to satisfy Boston fans. And New York has more residents than Boston - while the Knicks are a bigger market with a higher monetary value than the Celtics.  The Celtics...

      These Wizards are an absolute joke, they should be banished to the GLeague. Cs are handling their business in this 6 o clock start. Queta is having himself quite a damn good game. His teammates are finding him in the flow and he's making em proud. I have enjoyed watching Queta grow as a player. He's been such a hard worker for the Cs and I guarantee he only gets better. This Wizards team plays absolutely no defense what so ever. It's disgusting and disrespectful to the game of basketball.       Anyone watching the NCAA conference tournaments? I've seen some really good games and teams today. Michigan hit a 3 to win their game today and they are my favorite to win it all. Arkansas looks solid as former UMass Coach John Calipari leads them to an SEC Final. I remember so many epic games from the past. My first true memory of a title game was watching Michigan beat Seton Hall. I remember all the runs UMass had with Calipari. Those UMass teams were ju...
