Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

      I'm beyond disgusted and at a loss for words. This is the worst trade in Celtics history bar none. An NBA Finals MVP, coming off his best season and you trade him for 36 year old Paul George and meaningless draft picks. George has never been a winner and I've always said that. Now I'm stuck seeing him in my beloved green and white... He's never healthy and this is who the Cs wanted in return for JB?! I believe he's on the last year of his contract... Not shocked to see this ownership group continue to cut costs.       I've watched this young man grow on the court. I remember his first preseason game vs Philly and he had two of the loudest dunks I've ever seen. The game came on the same day we buried my grandfather and it was so therapeutic to watch the Celtics with my dad. So many incredible games and moments from him that I will never forget. If he had stayed in Boston he would have been a sure fire Hall of Famer. I mean he probably still will. ...

      What in the world is going on with the Celtics... if they were all in on Giannis then why not seal the deal! Right now we could lose JB for 40 cents on the dollar. If you are going to dangle a future Hall of Famer in a trade then get it done now the Celtics are in a stage of Flux. Where is this all stemming from? Is Billionaire Bill cheating out? Are we in a rebuild? Is there a player and or players that better compliment JT? I'm calling Denver right now and seeing what it takes for Jokic. I'm dead serious folks him and JT would be unreal.       We are a few hours away from free agency and this team has no true direction. Like we are lost at seas with a boat and no paddle. I trust Brad whole heartedly but Bill is ruining our beloved Celtics. He doesn't want to win he just wants to make money and that sickens this writer and I don't care who knows it! Realistically what can be done to keep JB in Boston I would say a 2 year 140 million dollar exten...

  Pat Riley got his wish. Giannis Antetokounmpo will reportedly join Bam Adebayo in Miami, with the Bucks'  Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Kel'el Ware ending up in Milwaukee. . "The Celtics were not willing to part with enough young players and assets to get a deal done." @ShamsCharania says Boston offered Jaylen Brown and two first-round picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo before he was traded to Miami 👀 pic.twitter.com/WvGCveMwjE — NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) June 23, 2026 So the drama centered around "The Greek Freak"  possibly going to the Boston Celtics has ended, Celtics fans can be assured that Brad Stevens is not done constructing his 2026-27 squad. Granted, Giannis remains a top-tier talent in the NBA, but less-radical moves may be in store for perhaps the most-storied  franchise in sports history. In the end, Pat Riley apparently has assembled a potent front-court duo in "The Freak" and Bam, but a few questions remain about Giannis' age,...

 The Boston Celtics' time for Banner 19 is now , but there is a wider Title window. Assuming both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown remain with "The Green", most of the championship hopes lie with them. Generally, an NBA player's peak occurs between the ages of 27 and 31 . Brown is 29 and Tatum is 28. Derrick White is 31 and Payton Pritchard is 28 . A player's peak theoretically combines top physical performance, max basketball savvy and sufficient on-court experience . The Celtics Title window should remain open for a few more years with the above-mentioned crew members onboard. NBA dynasties are virtually dead , and championships are becoming tougher to achieve. Boston's 60s run of Titles will never be seen again. But the Celtics leadership is top-notch with Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla leading the charge, so Banners 19-and-beyond are within reach. Some roster changes are coming . Stevens has mentioned getting more opportunities at the rim , which may sugg...

      Cs look to grab a three to one lead here in Philly. Cs must come out ready to fight on every possession. The Jays will need to lead by example but need everyone else to do their job. Calling Derrick White please answer the call and give us one of those games. These refs are already giving Embid all the calls. Watching him.play basketball makes me sick. The NBA coddles this giant baby. This first quarter was dominanted by the Celtics bench. PP was en feugo from deep! Walsh was a defensive menace and nailed a sweet three. Baylor our here giving everything he's got even nailing a three. Very impressed with that first quarter.       The Jays have yet to get going and the Cs have a solid lead. If they can get going it could be a long night for the Sixers. I really need to see Derrick White get going. PP is killing it tonight and I freaking love it! I hope he goes for forty! Overall I'm pleased with the defense from the Cs but they can't relent. Need t...

          When the Cs needed plays the Jays stepped up and made winning plays. Yet how about that freaking rebound by Derrick White! I tell you this much the Sixers are playing off their butts. Yet it's through hard work and good coaching. With that said this game gave me some real anxiety. I'm so impressed with Tatum and Brown making those clutch plays throughout the entire game but especially the fourth. What can I say about these Celtics but I love them and want them to succeed.       PP made some HUGE shots tonight and I live his grit. That kid makes huge plays and never fails to impress me. Vuc played well but he's lacking on D. His passing overall was good and he made some big shots. Queta didn't have his best game but he did what he could. Garza made some plays especially his three ball. Cs will have to use the three bigs in a way to compliment the other guys out there. Baylor showed no fear tonight going after Paul George. He mad...

       Cs take on the Sixers yet again in the playoffs. Cs own a huge advantage historically. If the Cs lock in on both ends they will win this series in 4 or 5. Maxey is friends with LBJ and flops just like him. Cs have moved the ball really well so far this afternoon. Defensively they are running down shooters. Cs need to force other guys to beat them and lock down on Maxey because he knows how to get calls. I like what I'm seeing from JB and JT. They will need to be at their best today and all playoffs. Cs with a solid start and decent lead after one.       Nice to see Garzilla getting some early run here. Grabbed the offensive board and heads to the line. Dude has been a beast all season! Baylor is in and already making impact plays, on both offense and defense. Garzilla for three! Bang! Brown is starting to pick it up and I love it! Cs are exposing the Sixers in the post as we speak. Queta especially here in this second quarter. Imagine this ...

 Prior to this season, I wrote that - despite the ravaged Celtics roster - the brain trust of Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla would adapt to the changes and firgure out a way to win. And they certainly did, ending the regular season with the second seed in the East. Losing Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday and Jayson Tatum caused many Boston fans to fear the 2025-26 season would be a waste . But Stevens brought in a number of guys that played beyond expectations, and Mazzulla juggled lineups to find what works and what doesn't. This regular season saw Jaylen Brown excel in his role of on-court leader  - to the point where his name is deeply involved in any MVP discussions. Payton Pritchard went back to a bench role but delivered in starter-type minutes. Derrick White had an off-season shooting the ball, but he was a vital cog in the Celtics fabric. Neemias Queta failed to develop any type of outside shot, but he was spectacular on the defensive end...

      Cs have shown us vs the Raptors and Hornets that come playoff time they will beat them. Overall the Cs have been playing solid basketball and are coming together at the right time. Queta has been solid and Vuc is back which helps a lot. Garza when called upon comes in and does his job. JT seems to be averaging just about a triple double every game. JB continues his MVP like performances. This roster is deep and suited to cause problems in the playoffs.       The fact that espn keeps riding that Knicks train is a joke. That team is so blown out of proportion its insane. What's also horrendous is how Brunson flops constantly. He's a damn joke as a player. Cs will beat them when they face them in the second round. Cs come playoffs will have the best duo in the game of basketball going. Not to mention a complete roster that gives all they have out there. Tonight the Cs will face the Pelicans and claim the second seed in the East.      ...

      Cs have come out throwing punches vs this bad Bucks team. Sam Hauser has been en fuego. He looks locked in and the Cs are finding him in rhythm. Congrats to Doc for getting into the Hall, but KC Jones deserves to be put in as Coach. I admire Doc as a Coach but KC did so much more as a coach. NBA needs to get their crap together and get KC in! Cs have totally dominated this first half. These Bucks should just forfeit the second half  because they suck.      We have five guys in double figures and DWhite isn't far off with 8 points. Now that's some balanced scoring right there. The mark of a damn good team. I mean I have complete confidence in this team making it to the Finals. Whether it's OKC or San Antonio I like our chances against them as well. This team defends extremely well and when needed can lock teams down. Offensively we have the Jays who both can put a team on their back. Winning players make winning plays and our roster is full of the...

      How about that first quarter and first half from the Cs! JB was straight balling and the entire team came out to make a statement. This Celtics team is gearing up for a deep playoff run. Goodness gracious the Jays are the best duo in the NBA! The Cs have made the Heat look like a g league team so far tonight. Man do I love this Celtics team. Brad Stevens has done an amazing job with this roster. Brad will go down as one of the greatest GMs of all time. The man us a basketball savant! Joe Mazzulla has been incredible this season.       Early in the third and JB is over 30 points! He looks locked and he should be the MVP. The Cs lead has shrunk to eighteen and Joe calls a timeout. I expect to see a much more focused group. Time to land some knockout blows and send the Heat home with a loss. Off the timeout we get back to back buckets from our two stars! Now that's how you answer the bell after being a bit lax. JB is destroying everyone who tries to...

 It appears that Celtics Coach, Joe Mazzulla , is mentally constructing the post-season, 8-man rotation that he feels may deliver Banner 19 to Boston. In the last 10 contests , the seven players averaging more than 25 minutes per game are Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Sam Hauser, Neemias Queta, Baylor Sheierman and Payton Pritchard . And it is expected that Nikola Vucevic , upon his return from injury, will round out the 8-man playoff crew. Sheierman is the wild card here . In the 10-game span, he is producing 6.8 PPG, 6.4 RPG and 2.3 APG in 27 minutes per contest. He only played very-limited minutes in four playoff games last year, so it is uncertain how he will handle the pressure of more floor time in the up-tempo post season. But the second-year man at 25 years of age has handled himself well on the court during the regular season, and Mazzulla is hoping that holds true come playoff time. The same can be said for Queta. In the past two post-seasons, he never ...

      Big game and the big Dawgs came to play! How about the Jay's both coming to play and impacting this win! Jaylen Brown was making Shai look like just an average guy on D. Is it me or does Shai get more calles than prime MJ did?! It makes the game unwatchable when the refs baby him. Kid is very talented and doesn't need the assist from the refs. Last night was a team win given how each and every Celtic impacted the game. Queta stood out to me with how well he played.       What's really something about this year's Celtics team is guys who have stepped up and given everything they have. Baylor was balling yesterday and has no fear at all! He rebounds and defends like his life is on the line. PP and Sam both hit key threes that really frustrated the Thunder. That Thunder team is legit but these Cs can beat them in the Finals. I love watching Derrick White play basketball. It's like watching a painter create a masterpiece. Whether on defense or offens...

      How about them Jays! The NBA has a problem and it's Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. These dudes are shaping into form and come playoffs they will be on a mission. They took what was the remains of a Warrior's roster and beat em down. It was good to see old friend Kristaps Porzingis. If he's healthy last season I bet we go back to back. When he's healthy he's incredibly good. Defensively he's a stud and offensively he's elite. Maybe just maybe he will come back here next year on a team friendly contract.       It's so fun watching everyone on this roster excel. Baylor has become a dawg on D and can rebound with any guy his size. His offensive game is tight. Whether he hits threes or gets to the paint. He's going to come up big for us in the playoffs especially on defense. Derrick White seems to be invigorated now that JT is back. His shot if finally looking like it did last season. Our two headed monster in the middle continues to play solid bask...

      These Wizards are an absolute joke, they should be banished to the GLeague. Cs are handling their business in this 6 o clock start. Queta is having himself quite a damn good game. His teammates are finding him in the flow and he's making em proud. I have enjoyed watching Queta grow as a player. He's been such a hard worker for the Cs and I guarantee he only gets better. This Wizards team plays absolutely no defense what so ever. It's disgusting and disrespectful to the game of basketball.       Anyone watching the NCAA conference tournaments? I've seen some really good games and teams today. Michigan hit a 3 to win their game today and they are my favorite to win it all. Arkansas looks solid as former UMass Coach John Calipari leads them to an SEC Final. I remember so many epic games from the past. My first true memory of a title game was watching Michigan beat Seton Hall. I remember all the runs UMass had with Calipari. Those UMass teams were ju...

      What could have been an incredible game turned out into disgust for me. No other star would ever be thrown out of a game. The only two that are on the NBAs radar are the Jay's. JB gets fouled and there is no call, he voiced his disgust to the ref and got a T. Given his frustration he was very talkative and a different ref trying to make a name for himself throws him out. Apparently the NBA didn't think the Spurs could beat both Jay's so they canned em. I mean realistically if the Cs were healthy and had JB they beat the Spurs easily. We were missing Pritch and Vuc.       Overall the Cs played well but Wemby is clearly unstoppable and an amazing talent. I mean what can't that young man do?! With that said if we see them in the Finals I expect a better job to be done defensively. Overall we saw everyone give their best last night. The Spurs play really tough D but damn near foul guys every time. They are similar to how OKC defends and fouls every t...

      Slow start at first but the Cs have found water, I need to say James Harden is horrific. The way he throws himself into players is disgusting. With that said JT looks good today and this Cs team has something special brewing. It's a bummer we lose Vuc for about a month. Especially when he was finding a flow with us. Another overrated player is Donovan Mitchell. He and Harden are a perfect combo of two guys who can't win. Forever will they be bridesmaids of the NBA. Man PP is such a dawg on D. I love his tenacity and ability to cut guys off at the dribble.       Cs ball movement has been flowing like the mighty Mississippi! Defensively they are forcing non shooters to shoot and I'm all for it. The way this defense gets down to dance is legit. Very rarely do they make it easy on the other team. Cleveland is all outta sorts tonight and that doesn't surprise me. This Cavs team is decent but they don't move the needle. I see them winning a round in th...

      Cs welcome Jayson Tatum back to the Garden. After suffering that horrific injury in the playoffs he's rehabbed and is ready to help chase Banner 19. It's going to be extremely special getting to see him play tonight. This team has now become a dangerous team. No team will want to face us come playoffs. JT looks fresh so far. He's looked to get his teammates involved early on. He is not on a minutes restriction which should allow for him to get back into game shape. In the sense of getting back into the feel of playing in an NBA game. This crowd has been electric and made sure he heard them.       Personally I love this picture up top. Joe and JT with the cross especially knowing both are men of faith. Last nights game was insight into what this team can be for the playoffs. The Cs continued on their path while adding JT back into the mix. JT finished with a nice stat line and this team looks ready for a title run. If you are anyone in the East I'...

      Man oh man Queta is the Pride of Portugal! Heck he's the Pride of Celtics fans! What a game! Anyone who doesnt think Queta can be special has another thing coming. Every year since he became a Celtic he's improved and will only continue to get better. He's an asset as we approach playoff time. You have to truly value an undersized big who can score and rebound at the rate he does. The man just brings pure joy when he's on the floor. He's a huge reason why this season has been one of my favorites to watch as a fan. When I say I love the Celtics I really mean it.       What can you say about a team that is playing this way. Everyone who entered last night's contest provided us with winning plays. You have to love seeing the bench get excited for one another out there. There is a joy for these guys watching each other succeed. There is no I in team and this TEAM is a cohesive unit. For all these media people riding Jayson Tatum leave the young man a...

      How about the performance from this entire Celtics team. Everyone who entered the game scored. Even the bench guys who very rarely play. Talk about offensive efficiency. Tonight was Vucs coming out party and why the Cs traded for him. He led the way with along with JB scoring 28 points. I think anyone who has watched Vuc over the years knows how good he is. The man is a walking double double and doesn't take games off for load management. It was nice seeing him in the post but man he lit it up from deep. His rebounding is exceptional and he fits this team really well. He's a guy Brad has always coveted and could have a nice run here in Boston.       JB has simply been one of the top players in the entire NBA. He's honestly the best two way player in the game. I always knew JB was going to be good the moment we drafted him. There was always a reason why Danny drafted him and Brad wanted him. What we are seeing this season is a masterclass in great...
