Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 Yes, we could have been the equivalent of the present version of the Philadelphia 76'ers . You know, "The Process" that never worked.   All of Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Rob Williams, Al Horford - and even Coach Ime Udoka - could have been in Philly rather than Boston this season.  The 76'ers grabbed Ben Simmons at number-1 in the 2016 draft instead of Jaylen Brown . Then they took Markelle Fultz number-one the next year (2017) instead of Jayson Tatum. In 2018, Philadelphia chose Mikal Bridges at #10, while the Celtics went with Rob Williams when he dropped to #27. Al Horford left for Philly as a free agent in 2019, but the 76'ers felt that Al was not a good fit (definitely flawed thinking!) and traded him to Oklahoma City after one season. How about Ime Udoka . He signed with Philadelphia as an assistant coach in 2019 and rightly felt that was not the place for him at the time. Udoka signed with the Nets as an assistant in 2020, and quickly grabbed his fi...

Former-Celtic, Kyrie Irving, has been diagnosed with shoulder impingement and has not played since November 14. He may have sustained the injury on Novemmber 4, 2019, when the Nets faced the Pelicans, and the injury is reminiscent of what Markelle Fultz endured early in his career. Irving is currently rehabbing with the hope he can return to action this season, but the chance of surgery has reared its ugly head, and even if that is not necessary, he could miss the rest of the season. 🎥 @KyrieIrving addresses the media and gives an update on his shoulder injury: pic.twitter.com/SmHSMQUmxD — Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) January 4, 2020 Both Irving and Al Horford have not particularly thrived since choosing to leave Boston over the summer. Al feels his skills are not being fully utilized in Philadelphia , and Kyrie may have played his last game for Brooklyn this season. But the Boston Celtics are doing just fine without the two All-Stars, holding the third slot of the standings...

Phildelphia 76'ers sophomore guard, Markelle Fultz, has been dealing with a bizarre shooting issue for quite a while now, and it has been blamed on an injury, the yips or some obscure psychological issue. He now be on his way to a shoulder specialist and will not play or practice until then. This has been truly weird. Markelle was a shooter in college, and then his shot became broken. Witness it in the tweet below. I think he has a broken jump shot pic.twitter.com/YRIFMo931w — Cian Boland (@CianBoland) April 8, 2018 Attorney Raymond Brothers, named in the tweet below, is also Markelle's agent, so the saga becomes even more bizarre. At the direction of his attorney, Raymond Brothers, @MarkelleF is scheduled to see a shoulder specialist early next week. Per Brothers, Fultz will not participate in team practices or games until after the the specialist has had a chance to evaluate him. — David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) November 20, 2018 I have previously written that I s...
