Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

     In his interview yesterday he may have committed to winning but he also brought it to a place that worries me. Almost signaling he wants to save as much money as he can. We have 2 stars who should be able to win more than just one ring. To me this is just another owner who wants a new toy. Sports are about win now! There's no more dynasties given the NBAs stupid tiers of taxes. I may not be a billionaire but if I were I'd want to win as many titles as possible. At the end of the day it's about those Banners in the rafters not about what's in Bills pocket financially.       Bill has to prove to me he's in this and right now he's not. Wyc despite his shortcomings did bring us 2 titles, yet it should have been more. If Bill fails to get rings with the Jay's his success as an owner are a failure. I want to be excited about this season but something tells me ownership wouldn't care if we end up in the lottery. I'm gonna miss Jrue especially but look ...

            Imagine if you asked former players to load manage... I'm telling you here and now that Larry would tell you heck no! A guy like MJ would say someone paid good money to see me. I may not be an All world athlete but there's no load management between my two jobs. My old man worked for 43 years in a factory and didn't need load management. I get that these teams invest in these individuals and they want longevity, but we are making softer athletes who tend to be injured more. Those former players dealt with so much and had none of the nutritional stuff as today's athletes do. They survived off grit, talent and hard work.       I appreciate a player like JT who doesn't like taking nights off. He gets that people come to see him perform night in and night out. Unfortunately for him he suffered a brutal injury in the playoffs. His presence and love for the game will be missed. I expect to see JB along with Derrick lead this team t...

 We have some more movement by the Celtics. I'm glad Niang is gone, never been a big fan. Boucher to me is an interesting move, he's always played well vs us I think he's got something to give! Part of me thinks there are still moves to make. This season will be the first time in a while a title isn't on the table. I will be locked in as always and try to get out quality writings. 

     The Celtics have let Luke walk out the door as he signs with the San Antonio Spurs. In return the Celtics have signed Luka Garza. I think we will all remember Luke's time in Boston. Honestly the man fit like a glove on these Celtics teams. Especially the connection he had with Jayson Tatum. Congrats to the Spurs for getting a great team player.       Al Horford is still available and I hear that the Warrior's are hot on his trail. Personally I don't want him to leave but something in my gut says he might. I don't believe that the Celtics will pony up for Al given how much money they cut in the off-season. Honestly I don't see any plan in the Celtics approach other than cutting costs. Shame on new ownership for not giving us another shot at a title led by JB and the fellas.       PS getting to see JT working out shows me how committed the young man is to the Celtics.        

      Just like that another piece of Banner 18 has been traded away. KP is on his way to Atlanta as the Cs cut costs. I for one have to say KP brought a special something to this  group. He unlocked this offense to something it's never been before. At times in his two seasons here he was unstoppable. His signature Celtics moment had to be game on the NBA finals where he was freaking incredible! Unfortunately this season injuries derailed him especially in the postseason given that virus he was dealing with.       I honestly don't understand why this ownership group has given away two of our best players. Yet I do it all boils down to money. I really hope the Celtics are gonna make a splash in tomorrow nights draft. I'm hearing the Cs may be interested in the guard out of Illinois. It's going to be an interesting off-season as this roster takes shape being led by JB and DWhite. What could have been a back to back champion, turned into JT getting i...

      Jrue Holiday has been traded and I feel disgusted. If it wasn't for Jrue Banner 18 may not happen as smoothly as it did. Heck Giannis should be thanking Jrue for his title as well. Jrue Holiday was the truest of Celtics, a guy who could play in any ERA of the Celtics. I mean seriously he could fit with any one of our title teams. Jrue Holiday is an elite defender and can guard any position on the floor. Defensively hes won plenty of games making key plays. Offensively he can score from anywhere and has always made clutch shots.      This move was made to cut costs because new ownership doesn't want to pay the luxury tax. Portland has themselves a guy who can lead that young team over there. I fully expect Jrue to make his impact over there. I'm just sitting here thinking about Jrue and how many big plays he made in a short window here in Boston. The man is a winner and gentleman. I for one will always root for him. This seems to be a start of many mov...

🍀       Cs look to bounce back from that loss on Wednesday night. They welcome the Suns who they rolled by thirty points last week. Let's hope they can duplicate that tonight. It looks like most of the Cs should be playing tonight. Cs are going to be epic come playoff time with their three headed monster in the post. KP, Al, and Luke are all playing elite basketball. I trust all three will make huge plays during the playoffs. Cs have a very deep roster that will shine once the playoffs start.       JBs haircut is smooth folks! JB drives early on and gets fouled. I like the way he consistently attacks the cup when he gets the rock. JB needs one more point to pass Antoine Walker on the Celtics scoring record list. Right there he scores and there it is! Way to go JB! Toine was always a favorite of mine, and had many memorable plays in Celtic green. We all remember his inspiring speech that led to a huge Celtics comeback vs the Nets in the Eastern Coferen...

 🍀      Cs will face the Grizz shorthanded yet again. There will be no JB or Luke tonight. It will have to be the next man up motto tonight. We do however get Al and PP back tonight. Let's hope we can get some payback for the game in Boston earlier this season. Cs give up the first basket of the game. Look at X getting the start tonight! Hoping he has a solid game.        Cs offense has been a bit anemic here, right until KP drilled that three. That is his shot and it can't be stopped. It's so pretty to watch when it swishes through the net. The defenders really have opportunity to affect that shot. Oh boy... Tony Brothers is doing tonight's game. If Tommy were here he would be railing against him. He's always been anti Celtics. Let's hope he doesn't screw us tonight.       JT hits the three effortlessly! This game seems like it is going wire to wire. Cs and Grizz are trading blows. Ja always plays with an extra edge vs us. JT...

 🍀       Cs look to continue their road dominance. This time against Derrick Whites former team the San Antonio Spurs. When watching the Spurs one can't wonder what if Tim Duncan ended up in Boston. That draft lottery was the most brutal of all lotteries. Cs should have gotten the first pick. They actually should have ended up with one and three. Yet they ended up with three and six. Instead of getting Duncan and possibly another high quality player. They ended up taking Chauncey Billups a Hall of Fame caliber player, and Ron Mercer who had a heck of a college career. Still no Duncan set the franchise back. It did however give the Spurs multiple titles and a spot as a top NBA Franchise. Imagine if they had taken Duncan and McGrady?! Pitino may not have failed miserably here. I know you shouldn't look back but I do when it comes to the Celtics.        Anyone watch the Uconn women today they were absolutely incredible. Paige was on fire and I expec...

  🍀       Cs are in the land of the Sun. They will be without JT after that scary fall vs the Kings. Suns have been playing better basketball led by Kevin Durant. He's been a scoring machine! Yet the Cs have the defensive answers to keep him at bay. I personally think Devon Booker sucks. So he doesn't worry me one bit. Cs have the double big line up tonight. JB opens us up with back to back treys! Let's Go!      Cs are off to a hot start tonight, they are scorching the Suns! Jrue nails a corner three like an assassin! Cs are aggressive on D and running in transition. That's the way to do it folks! If the Celtics continue to punch the Suns in the mouth they will fold like origami. DWhite for three! The Cs are firing on all cylinders! This is a clinic on how you stomp on your opponents throats! It's great seeing all these Celtics fans in the stands.       It's crazy but all five starters have nailed three pointers so early on. This i...

 🍀       Nice to see JB back on the floor, he brings a level of intensity second to none. JB gets himself on the board as he gets in the paint and scores. The way he I'd able to use his body is blunt force trauma to whoever gets in his way. Ever since he's been in the league he has improved at whatever short comings his game has. Cs look like a team coming off a back to back. Very sloppy play early on and it needs to be cleaned up.       Cs have been excellent on the road this season. Which bodes well since it they get to the ECF and Finals they will be on the road. It could set up winning those series at home in six games. To be honest I would not be surprised if the Cavs get upset in the playoffs. OKC I'm thinking should win the west unless a team like the Nuggets takes it to them. I don't see any other western team beating them. Especially not those frauds in LA.       Cs owe this Kings team some payback, last time we met t...

🏀       The Celtics have been sold for a huge number to a group led by William Chisholm. The question is will he be able to keep this team together? Sadly I don't see it happening, or at least that's what I'm hearing. Cs have clinched a playoff spot and have won fifty games yet again. Not too shabby. They only trail the Thunder and Cavs record wise.        Good seeing Max aka Cornbread in that lottery commercial. One of the most talented and impacful Celtics of all time. Young Celtics fans should YouTube hits highlights. The man belongs in the Basketball Hall of Fame! He's an excellent radio announcer and keeps it real. Kudos to Coach John Calipari in beating Kansas in the tournament. I have and will always love Coach Cal. He was always so good to me when I attended UMass Basketball camp. UMass will never ever reach those heights again.         It's time for tipoff! This Jazz team is looking to get Cooper Flagg. That kid is sp...

      Cs start things off here in the third with back to back threes. DWhite drives and scores to tie the game up! As we all know the C's are short handed with no Tatum or Brown. I'm a little late to the party given I was working my other job. KP looks pretty good as he gets inside and scores. C's are a bit sloppy out here right now. You have to love DWhite as he gets to the cup and goes glass. It should have been an And One!       DWhite drives and scores! This time he has a shot at the And One! He's cash money! C's have a lot of talent overall on this roster. It's evident tonight being without the Jays. DWhite nails the three in the flow of the offense. I love when he rises up and lets it fly! PP for three and the lead is ours! Both Derrick and Payton like finding each other on the floor. It wasn't too long ago that they both scores forty plus.       After tonight the C's will be on quite a long road trip. They will not return hom...

 ☘️       KP and JB are back! With that said Derrick and Al are out for tonight's game. Going to be a lot of games like this with certain guys being out. KP gets his first points in quite a while. C's are very slow to start. Let's get it going fellas. KP with the near steal on that one. He looks decent to start but there is definitely some rust. Mr Smooth aka Jrue looks good for us yet again.        JT just shreds the double team and goes glass to score. Next play he gets the pass and hits the fade away jumper. KP just rocked the rim! He's going to the line for the And One! Thankfully he looks healthy despite having that weird illness. He's really the key that unlocks this team to be unreal. With his health back to back is in sights.       C's gotta take it to this dumpster fire of a team. JT gets to the cup and scores easily. His quickness totally blazed thru the screen! He's going to have an incredible post season. PP is on t...

 ☘️       C's are short handed yet again as they play the Heat. C's are looking to bounce back after that loss to the Thunder. Let's hope the refs call a fair game unlike Wednesday. Luke gets the nod in the starting lineup tonight. He and Al will be a force tonight. Both guys fit JTs ability to pass the rock. I despise the Heat and want the C's to crush them.       Time for JT and the fellas to come out strong. This Celtics team will be in Brooklyn tomorrow night. If they can handle their business, maybe they can rest in the fourth. This last month of the season is going to drag. Can we just fast forward to KP being healthy and start the playoffs. Oh no... Tony Brothers is the crew chief tonight.       Jrue Holiday starts us up with a pure three. Al follows suit off that great pass from Luke. All of that was initiated by JT. Al finds Jrue and he nails the three. When you watch guys like Jrue Holiday and Al Horford, you are watc...

      I'm late to the party but I'm getting tired of seeing JT get no love from the refs. First half was quite the show! Kudos to Al, DWhite and JT for carrying the load on offense. JB gets straight into the paint to get himself going. He had a very rough first half. C's can't afford to miss shots right now. These refs suck! I really need to see the C's go on a run here in the third.       The rebounding has been a big problem for the C's tonight. If we want a shot at winning tonight we need to correct that. Right now I'm not sure if the Celtics have it. The lead is back up to nine and there is no life in the building. C's are going to need to really get down and dirty on D. If they want to make any headway here. The offense has no flow at all.       Derrick White with some incredible hustle right there. His hustle leads to that Al three. The C's still trail by seven, timeout Thunder. C's need to make a run and continue to get into ...

 🏀      We have no JT, Al, or KP tonight. We need a big game from JB! Jrue gets us on the board tonight. It's so nice having him back out there. He made some key plays the other night vs the Fakers. Jrue nails the corner three off the excellent ball movement. Heck of a play from Jrue knocking the ball off of Kessler. Jrue is as cool as a glass of whiskey out there. The way Luke runs the floor and gets right to the cup is so fun to watch.        JB has perfected his pull up mid range. It's so effortless the way he gets into his shot. Every game he plays he shows you the growth he has made since he was drafted. He with JT are the best duo in the NBA. They have shown that in multiple games this year. I fully expect them both to go off on Wednesday vs the Thunder. They owe the Thunder some payback for the last time we met.       C's are probably going to end up with the number two seed in the East. I'm at peace with that given how...

 ,☘️      C's look like they are going to be full strength tonight. I am not looking forward to hearing ABC drool all over the Lakers, Luka, and Leflop. I really hope the refs don't dictate tonight's outcome. If we look at overall talent the Celtics are the better team and I hope they prove it. I wonder what the odds are on how many flops the Fakers have tonight. To be honest with you these national games and analysts on ABC are awful. Update on the health of KP he's out tonight yet again.        Do me a favor C's fans keep track of how many bad calls are made tonight. Nice to see the Celtics wearing their classic white uniforms. C's D isn't playing up to standards right now.  Joe calls timeout and hopefully he gets into them. The defense continues to look a step slow. The offense has really picked things up and they are finding their groove.       I like what I'm seeing from the Jays! Everyone is touching the rock and mak...
