Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 What happens if all of the 91.0 shot attempts/game taken by Celtics players this season were all 2-point shots? The numbers I am going to throw at you may not tell the whole story - but they don't lie!  Out of those 91.0 attempts per game, 51.4 were 3-pointers and 39.6 were 2-pointers. The players hit on 37.0% of their treys and 57.1% on their 2-pointers .  Assume that the team members took ZERO long balls this season, so all 91.0 attempts were inside of the arc and were shot with 57.1% accuracy. That means that the 51.4 that were beyond the arc this season yielded 57.0 points per game (at 37.0% accuracy) , but those same 51.4 attempts taken as 2-pointers - and shot with 57.1% accuracy) result in 58.6 points/game. That is only 1.6 points/game more than actually occurred this season for Boston. The question here is - does that make a positive difference in the outcomes for The Green?   Of course, these calculations go down the drain if the shooting percentage...

  Marcus Smart returned to TD Garden on Saturday night - in the company of his wife, Maisa and his 2-month-old son, Zayn - had a bit of an off game (3 points, 1-of-11 field goals, 2 boards, 2 assists) but his Grizzlies won, 127-121. Like most of us, I felt Marcus would retire a Celtic, but a bold (and successful) trade sent him to Memphis. During an interview, the man I call "The Wolverine" referred to his impact on the City of Boston and on his former team, the Celtics . I also want to add that he had an enormous impact on my family.  Carson Thomas Lane- I lost my mom recently to. But it’s people like ur great grandpa who will get u thru the tough times as you grow up. Much love young stud! Twitter- u know what to do. Send mail that uplifts & showers this kid w love. I’ll do my thing 2. https://t.co/JXZUmU3VeK — marcus smart (@smart_MS3) November 14, 2019 In November of 2019, my 25-yuear-old granddaughter, Courtney, was taken off life support following a life-long b...

 C's welcome home old friend Marcus Smart. While I loved Marcus while he was here. Trading him was the best thing to happen to this team. It secured us Kristaps Porzingis. By trading him we ended up with Jrue Holiday and pairing him with Derrick White. The best backcourt in basketball. Plus it gave the Jays the confidence in leading this team.  🏀           I am expecting a comeback performance from both DWhite and PP. C's are throwing up bricks... JB to JT and we get inside and score. C's haven't given me any signs of energy yet. Joe is wearing his cross on his shirt and I love it! KP is blocking everything coming in his direction. When he's in the paint it's protected like no other.      Back to back corner threes by Jrue and Derrick. That corner three is a huge weapon for the C's offense, especially with our shooters. When the Celtics space themselves there's no way of stopping them. The way the ball moves, the D has no opportunity to...

  C's welcome the Bucks to the Garden it should be a good ole knock down fight. Two heavy weights of the NBA going at it. Giannis, JT, JB, Dame and so many others. I truly love Giannis, but I'm a C's fan first. I expect a pretty epic game tonight. We get to see the Best of the Best tonight.  ☘️       The C's are wearing those ugly uniforms that I can't stand. Hopefully the C's play is better than those uniforms. It's finally tipoff and I'm ready for some Celtics basketball. C's need to push this pace and get in front of the Greek defensively. Don't allow him to get down hill.        C's with incredible ball movement to start is off. JT cashes it in nothing but net. Nice to get Jrue back tonight vs his old team. JB with the pure jumper, followed up with a great drive. Expect both Jays to do there thing tonight. I'm feeling both guys are going over twenty points tonight. With that said JT for three, followed up by JB for three! Ballin! ...

  Let me be "blunt"  (correct pronunciation of Blount)! Mark Blount was never a favorite of mine when he played for the Boston Celtics. He was the 54th pick in the 1997 NBA draft by Seattle and played for the American minor Leagues for three seasons before signing with Boston for the 2000-2001 season . The stats for the rookie center were hardly noteworthy (3.9 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.2 BPG)) and they dropped significantly in his sophomore season with the Celtics (2.1 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 0.4 BPG). Possibly feeling he wasn't being used correctly in Beantown, he signed with the Nuggets in 2002 , but was traded back to Boston in 2003 . For some unknown reason, the Celtics decided to offer Blount a 6 year/$41 million deal starting in the 2004-05 season. Perhaps it is the fact that Mark came to Boston after Bill Russell, Dave Cowens and Robert Parish had terminated their NBA careers, but I never favored Blount as an acceptable center for the Celtics. His play always seemed lethargic a...

  We have no JT or Jrue tonight. Short handed Cs yet again.  🏀       C's are short handed, but I expect them to win tonight. Lock in on D, and move the ball unselfishly. Expect a big game from PP. We have the double big lineup in Al and KP out there. KP swats Harris right from the go! Get it outta here! C's will need to be stout on D tonight. JB to KP opens us up, cookies and cream in da house!       Good to see JB taking the rock into the paint. I love the way he attacks the rim. When he has a full head of steam no one can stop him. Loving the ball movement tonight. KP to Al for the beautiful three pointer. I love seeing Joe yet again wearing his cross. The man is steadfast in his faith. C's are off to a pretty good start. Timeout Pistons.       Anyone else not upset we didn't make the gimmick cup tournament. I know I'm not and am so happy! DWhite with a corner three off of excellent ball movement. C's are building this lead ...
