Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

      The b iggest and brightest move of the off season was bringing back the great Al Horford . His presence, leadership, stability and play have been huge for this team. He does it all - rebounds, blocks, steals, he can score inside and out. He has a great connection with his teammates and they love him. Celtics fans love him , this writer does, and so does the Sentinel. His value to this team is infinite. He's been a huge piece of this 8-3 in the last 10 games.       With all that said, last night Al had 11 points, 11 rebounds,  4 assists, and 2 steals . He's like a swiss army knife, that can do everything. Due to his excellent play we are awarding him with our Celtics Sentinel Citation Award . 

 Some fans of pro basketball just take the contrary view just to be...well - contrary , with no solid basis for their stand. Such was the case when when Al Horford's sister, Anna Horford, overheard an argument centered around the value of her brother to the Boston Celtics . No true Boston fan doesn’t love Al!! — Stephanie (@smars319) November 23, 2021 Al's value. Let's take a look at his team stats : Scoring: 4th at 13.1 PPG Rebounds: 2nd at 8.7 RPG Assists: 3rd at 3.5 APG Steals: 4th at 0.9 SPG Blocks: 1st at 1.9 BPG (tied with Giannis for 6th place in the NBA) Minutes: 6th at 29.4 MPG   One more thing about the blocks. That is new for Al . He is the only player over 29 years of age in the top-6 in blocks. Horford is 35. This gem-of-an-individual needs to prove nothing to Celtics fans, but I bet he needs to prove something to himself. Have I ever mentioned I love this guy?
