Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

The Colebrook, New Hampshire resident could not believe the sight during a stroll through the cemetery. The gravesite had been dug up - the concrete vault broken - the casket opened - and the body had been searched . Police were notified and the investigation commenced. The grave, and body, belonged to Eddie Nash who had died 10 years earlier of a heart attack. He was a well-respected business man who was supposedly buried with no valuables. Melanie Nash But one of Eddie's daughter's, Melanie Nash, became a suspect in the case and stated to police that she and three other accomplices went to the gravesite to find what she thought was the "real will". But all the would-be thieves found in the casket was the body of Eddie Nash and some vodka and cigarettes ( per nytimes.com ): Nash told police she did not receive anything when her father died and had been thinking of digging up the grave for years to prove that her sister, Susie Nash, “hid the will.” Susie Nash ...

 The following is an excerpt from author, Mark C. Bodanza's fascinating bio of former Celtics Superstar, JoJo White - and JoJo's connection to present Celtics star, Jayson Tatum .  On to the NBA Finals and ….. Six Degrees of Separation and the Boston Celtics When JoJo White was a youngster his family could not afford to buy him a bicycle. Fortunately for JoJo, his neighborhood best friend Randolph got a brand new bicycle for Christmas and even better, didn't know how to ride it. Next thing you know, JoJo was cycling around the nearby streets with Randolph on the back seat. JoJo's fortune got even better when he met Randolph's sister Rosemary and she became his first girlfriend. In 2015 JoJo was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame and some of his family who could not attend the induction ceremony in Springfield instead attended a celebration in JoJo's hometown of St Louis Missouri. At the party, that first girlfriend, Rosemary, won an autographed JoJo White Bos...

  As we approach the NBA Finals, it's all about 18. The Celtics have come this far and I expect them to close the deal. Now it won't be easy, but this team is ready to break through. The national media will be all about Luka and Kyrie. I guarantee most of America will be rooting for them. Kudos to Luka and Kyrie for playing so well, but we have four guys who can guard the two of them. I feel Jrue, Derrick, and the Jays can guard Luka. While ideally Jrue and Derrick can get to Kyrie, I wouldn't mind the Jays taking a crack at him too. Now who is Luka going to stop?? I'll tell ya no one! Who is Kyrie going to stop, no one! Dallas plays decent team defense but they can't shut down the fab four. Now if you add KP and Al to the mix that's six studs who can't be denied.  The key for me will be defense, set the tone on that end and everything else will follow. Defense has predicated the games won this season. The playoff games won have been started and ended with d...

When Maine Weatherman, Tom Johnston , predicted a major storm to hit his home state on April 1 , 2017 , he had no idea how his life was about to fall apart on that day. Johnston was covering the annual Springfest at Sunday River Resort in Newry, Maine . At the end of the day on April 1, he ended up at a home in Newry and allegedly raped a woman in that house - after which he left abruptly - and soon headed in a southerly direction towards Auburn, Maine. The alleged female victim reported the sexual assault , and was treated, at a hospital in Bridgeton, Maine on April 2, 2017 . Shortly thereafter, Johnston was reported missing . It turned out that he was allegedly identified by the victim as her attacker, making him the only suspect in the case . Approximately five days later, Tom Johnston's car was located in Auburn, Maine - and shortly thereafter, his body was found in a nearby wooded area. His wrists had been cut using razorblades he had purchased during his flight from Newr...

Jaylen Brown has taken a number of hits from some Celtics fans over the years, but he didn't falter . He kept on plugging - learning - fitting in - and getting better and better . Now, after winning the series against the Indiana Pacers, his work and progression have been recognized.   Jaylen Brown wins the Larry Bird Trophy for 2024 Eastern Conference Finals MVP 🏆 pic.twitter.com/rGa4U97cUW — NBA TV (@NBATV) May 28, 2024 We sometimes forget that Jaylen is the "senior" member of the Jay Team, but still has to play "second fiddle" to Jayson Tatum . That has to be difficult. But holding the Larry Bird Trophy in the hands that have been so productive getting his team back to the NBA Finals most-likely erases the verbal attacks by naysayers. Jaylen has been indispensable to his team, and the Larry Brown Trophy is in sight.  

Tonight can be the night the C's punch their ticket back to the NBA Finals. Close out games are usually the hardest, but these C's can pull it off! After what we all witnessed on Saturday night, this team can do it all. Go out tonight and seize the day! Before the game starts, Rest In Peace to Bill Walton. An incredible player, great announcer and huge part to the 1986 team. Memory Eternal Bill... 1Q ☘️  JTs first three is nothing but net! JB drives through Nesmith for his first bucket! The studs will have to lead them in finishing off this series. I need to see the C's commit on D all game. What a sweet three by Jrue from the top of the key. DWhites first shot is a pure three point shot over Siakim. Keep making the Pacers work on D. Jrue gets another one! DWhite with yet another block! Sends the rookies shot back at em! So far the C's start has been very good. As was their start last game in the first. My hope if they build and keep the lead tonight at the end of the f...

  So here we are game 3 of the ECF. C's will face a short handed Pacers team and I hope they don't have a let down. I see Rick has laid the foundation about the discrepancy in calls... Let's see if the NBA gives the game to the Pacers. The C's will be missing Luke Kornet tonight.  1st Q C's are in their traditional green uniforms and I love it! JB opens up the scoring with a lefty layup! I expect him to be very aggressive tonight. Good first defensive stand by the C's. Al opens up his night with a beautiful three. JT scores on his first attack of the rim, plus the And One! JT for three, good to see him coming out hot. JT with a sweet jumper over the rook. DWhite for three! Let's Go! DWhite BLOCKs Turner! That's the way you play D! The Pacers are hand checking and pushing off on the offensive end. C's must continue to treat this game as if they were down 0-2. Attack the rim and work hard on D. I need to see the C's locke em down to finish off this...
