Sunday Basketball With My Familia


 There was a sequence in last night's game that just showed how damn good this offense is. The ball went from player to player with the grace of a majestic dancer. The defense could not stop it, the shot fell short but the movement was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! 

For all those naysayers giving JB crap, please hush. He showed that he is capable of doing what is needed to win. He's limiting his turnovers, he's getting his teammates involved, and we'll he's just a bad man! He brought the thunder with a one handed DUNK that shook the arena! 

The bench did their job once again, guys like Malcolm, Sam, PP and Luuuuuuuuuke brought the energy. Each guy knows their roll, and executed it! Kudos to Marcus and DWhite because they are just wonderfully players to watch! 

I am disappointed to have not seen JT play live, although I have in the past. I love this kid, I get resting the ankle. Yet part of me says after what I scraped together for these tickets, I want to see my guy. If you all remember in the Last Dance, there's a part where Jordans trainer basically eludes to that. These fans pay their hard earned money to see me and I'm giving them my everything. I believe JT would have played but there was an edict from the team. 

I've been open since I was given the opportunity to write here at the Sentinel. Last night meant everything to me. It rained like crazy, we sat in hours of traffic but in the end I was able to share watching Celtics basketball with my dad and family. Losing Mom last year put a lot of things into perspective. It reminded me to always trust in God and to live life to the fullest. Writing last season and now this season has given me a way to express my love for the C's! 

Bleed Green! Celtic Pride! 

I will be back to my normal style game notes tonight.

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.

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.
