The Heat is on, as the Celtics hold Tommy Heinsohn night at the garden.


 Tonight the Celtics honor the only man to be a part of every championship banner that hangs in the rafters. The great player, coach and announcer Tommy Heinsohn, a man we all miss on the broadcast. A man we all considered family because he was the voice of our beloved Celtics. A man who if you had the chance to meet him as I did, was an even better person than all his basketball achievements. The man we all remember swearing on air at a bad call vs Jordans Bulls. The man we here at the Sentinel honor with our award based on his Tommy point system. I could go on and on about him. 

1st Quarter

Refs are already making a negative impact on the game in favor of Miami. Lowry is already starting his childish antics and flailing about. JB seems to be locked in from the start. He tends to be our lightning out of the bottle at the starts of game. His game is very smooth out there. What we need to see from him now is the ability to get guys involved like JT does. 

JTs ability to use his body to get to the rack with or without the ball is huge. It gives him so many options to pick apart the opposing D. His game is so well rounded now that he can become unstoppable. The way he has matured this year is a thing of beauty. He's going to have to continue to grow as a player to help this team make a run in the playoffs. 

2nd Quarter

Daniel Theis may end up being the steal of the trade deadline. His game, now that RWill is out perfectly suits this Celtics group. He is willing to do all the little things necessary to win. You need him to D up anyone he's on it, make the right pass he's there. He's unafraid to go and bang for boards. Offensively he fits and can score when his number is called. I for one was sad when he was traded away but glad he's back where he belongs. 

Al Horford is as cool as the other side of the pillow. Another guy we lost who now has come back and fits like a glove. His game as well will need to continue to be solid as RWill mends. Al as we have seen this season can do EVERYTHING. He is just a solid player who's skill set fits being a perfect role player. He and DTheis are going to need to come up big until RWill is ready. 

3rd Quarter

Celtics have found themselves in a dog fight tonight. This my friends is what the post season will feel like. The crowd tonight is giving off playoff vibes. What's going on with GWills shot lately? The laser point accuracy seems to be falling. Lately he isn't hitting his threes and I feel he's thinking about it too much. When he drives he tends to get to the hoop, he also has the ability to post up with that said we are gonna need him hitting those threes in the playoffs. 

JT and JB lately have fed off of each other very well. They are building nice chemistry that's essential to success for the rest of the year and the playoffs. Both guys have a great knack for getting each other high percentage shots. We know come playoffs everything will be magnified and these two will be ready. Expect great things as we finish the regular and season and enter the playoffs. 

4th Quarter 

Refs have seemed to flex their might right now, making some choice calls that are not in favor of the greatest organization in sports the Boston Celtics. This is the problem with the NBA the refs feel they deserve the spot light. Well they don't, and it gives certain teams an advantage like it has with the Heat tonight. 

Shots haven't fallen tonight, it's to bad because this was a winnable game. RWill we miss ya, making shots we miss ya. Hey refs get out of the Garden! Tommy is in heaven and letting out very choice words. Need to bounce back on Friday against a team we owe some payback to. Bleed Green Celtics fans and keep the faith! 


Best Regards the Celtic Knight

Nik Stauskas adds "shooting with size" voiced by Brad Stevens

 As a 6'6" shooting guard, 28-year-old Nik Stauskas adds that shooting with size sorely needed by the Boston Celtics. Drafted 8th-overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2014, Stauskas has bounced around to various teams since then. Nik Stauskas' deal with the Boston Celtics includes non-guaranteed salary for the second season in 2022-23, a source tells @celticsblog . — Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) March 4, 2022 Nik has never averaged more than 9.5 points per game in the NBA, but Boston is most likely counting on his production for Grand Rapids in the G League as the incentive to sign him. In 17 games thus far, he has averaged 24.7 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 4.8 APG - while shooting 50% on field goals and 45% on treys. Nik Stauskas is signing a two-year deal with the Boston Celtics, his agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Stauskas had an historic week, scoring 100 points on 57 and 43 point performances in back-to-back games for Grand Rapids. — Adrian Wo
