Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

What does tonight really mean?? On Christmas day the C's crushed the Bucks. The next time they played the C's sat everyone, and had a chance to beat a healthy Bucks team. In all reality they should have. Was that strategic by the C's?? Getting in the Bucks head, by saying even our bench can beat you. Who know. What I do know is the C's are in second right now and the Bucks are first. That may not change this season. What tonight means is, if the C's win they will own space in the Bucks minds. It will give the C's the season series and prove they can win in Milwaukee. Which will be the case if both teams make the Eastern Conference Finals.  It's game time and the tip off is here.... First Quarter Moments Early on both teams are trading punches, it feels like a heavyweight title fight. Both teams are out to prove who is the best. Record wise it's the Bucks and even the eye test says that. In my heart I still believe the C's can beat them and win the wh

 Barring a miracle, it seems the Milwaukee Bucks will have home court advantage throughout the post-season. With a record of 54-21, they are atop the Standings as of this date. The Celtics have battled Milwaukee twice this season, are are 1-1 against each other. Boston's win came at TD Garden with The Green having a full crew on board . The Bucks were without Kris Middleton. The Celtics shot very well - 59% from the field and 49% on 3-pointers. The Jay Team combined for 70 points with very-accurate shooting. Boston's overtime loss occurred on the road in Milwaukee , with a final score of 131-1254 . They were without four starters, Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Al Horford . Milwaukee had a full roster, including Middleton. The Celtics' shooting was mediocre, at best,  hitting 46% on from the field and 34% on treys. The two Eastern powerhouses meet for the third matchup this Thursday in Milwaukee. A Celtics win on foreign turf would be a confidence-builder

  First Quarter Moments C's step up on D for the first play of the game. Which leads to a easy JB bucket in transition. I expect plenty of easy hoops tonight! JT just abused some dude getting to the cup! JT just abused homeboy yet again! Dude is just too little to guard JT!  These Wizards uniforms are absolute garbage! JT with the hammer DUNK off the pass from Marcus! Als offense has been hit or miss lately. C's need to wake the heck up and blow these guys off the dang floor.  MB is in and making an impact already! C's playing to the level of their opponents which makes me sick. Wake up please! Nice defensive stand, causes a shot clock violation. We need to make a run to finish off this quarter. MB for threeeeeeeee!!! That's my dude right there.  C's play decent D and give up an offensive rebound. Clean it up guys! Getting beat by nobodies is unacceptable... Listening to Scal as this game progresses to gets worse is annoying! Stop playing with your food and feast! P

  Never expect an outburst of euphoria or despair from Jaylen Brown . I have the utmost respect for a guy that never gets too high on the good stuff - nor too low on the bad .  He was just named Eastern Conference Player of the Week and fans won't be seeing any celebratory cheers from Brown. "Just doing my job" is the type of response we can expect.

TD Garden houses some tough fans, and I would guess that Jaylen was inwardly moved by the standing ovation - despite the lack of emotion. Jaylen Brown had an unexpressive reaction to the standing ovation he received from Celtics fans Sunday night: https://t.co/k5utwKRMTX — NESN (@NESN) March 27, 2023  Brown's name constantly surfaces when major potential

 Just when I thought Jayson Tatum was the undisputed "ALPHA" of the Boston Celtics, the other member of the Jay Team seems to be quietly challenging Tatum's status. He rendered his thoughts on being a team leader versus simply a major role player : “Obviously, our goal is to win the championship. That’s, I think, what everybody is focused on,” (Jaylen) Brown tells me. “Me, I feel like I still have so many more limits to tap individually. To be better, to be a better leader, to be a better player, et cetera. As for now, I’m just playing my role on the team to help us get back to do what we got to do. So, nothing wrong with being a part of a team and doing your job. That’s how I look at it.” Over the last eight games, Boston has a 6-2 record , and Brown has played a major role in that span. Take a look at the statistical comparison over those eight games: Brown: 36.1 MPG - 31.1 PPG - 6.9 RPG - 4.0 APG - 54.8% FG - 41.0 3s Tatum:  36.6 MPG - 28.1 PPG - 9.3 RPG - 4.3 APG - 4

  First Quarter Moments C's are coming out..... Flat!  JB fixes that by getting to the rack and scoring! JB once again scores inside! JB yet again! Tonight is going to be a JB game, but it needs to be a team effort! Marcus Smart with a globe trotter dribble scores inside.  C's aren't playing any defense right now... Do I have to say it defense wins championships! Figure it out fellas. If they don't put in the work on D these Spurs are gonna beat them.  JB is man amongst boys tonight! JAM! Sam I am for three, he's found his stroke C's fans. Playoff weapon locked and loaded!  He's a guy that both JT and JB look for regularly. Expect a few big shots from him in the post season!  Rob the Lob grabs the board and scores!  Once again the C's are playing down to the level of their competition. I'm tired of seeing that. They better blow the doors off the next few quarters.  Second Quarter Moments This Spurs team sucks and the C's are getting run off the f
