Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 I mean it! The only valid, lasting takeaway from the Celtics 123-107 loss to Golden State is that any Finals rematch between the two opposite-coast rivals will be damn exciting . Sure, we can talk about the Splash Brothers, Curry and Thompson , outdueling the Jay Team, Jayson and Jaylen. It can be argued that Steph Curry is all-but-unguarable .

We also need his rebounding. The latter skill is fine. The former needs work. There's an obvious push for Enes Kanter to start shooting 3-pointers. He said he wants to add that to his game this summer. “Aron Baynes, Al Horford, they become a splash brother, so I think it could change for me too. I believe it.” — Jay King (@ByJayKing) July 17, 2019 Hitting the occasional trey when Enes is open makes sense, so practicing shots beyond the arc is fine. But sitting out there waiting for the pass to launch a 3-pointer too much of the time? I say nay. Kanter needs...
