Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 Jaylen Brown has won the Red Auerbach Award given annually to the player that "best exemplifies the spirit and meaning of what it means to be a Celtic" . It is a well-deserved honor for the star wing , but at CelticsSentinel we tend to focus on those members of The Green that may be somewhat-unheralded when presenting out CelticsSentinel Citation Award. Here are some thoughts from Tom and The Celtic Knight. Tom: My attention for our award goes to Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White . Brogdon was a starter in Milwaukee and Indiana before coming to Beantown. He has accepted his bench role with professionalism and grace, and he is a major reason Boston has such a winning record.  “Coming off the bench it can be a challenge sometimes, to be honest," Brogdon said. “That's where you've got to suck it up. You're not going to score as much. You're not going to play as much. I think that is what makes a great team - having guys that are able to do that. Guys tha...

      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 . 

        One if the best surprises of this season has been the play of Dennis Schroder . He's lighting quick at getting to the hoop - changes speed and direction like a squirrel - nails threes, and can hit a jumper or floater when hes got it going. His defensive intensity truly annoys and frustrates other teams. Next to star JT last night, he came to ball out.        DS shot 59.1 from the field, and shot 42.9 from deep . Talk about some beautiful numbers on offense. He scored 29 points, had 4 rebounds, and added 6 assists . With that effort and skill he's is the Celtics Sentinel Citation Award winner for the game vs the Thunder.
