Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 🏀       C's looked like a scoring machine here in the first. They are really unstoppable when they are on. This Hornets teams has gotten smacked in the face from the start. Honestly I don't see them doing anything tonight. CS ball movement has been excellent! Even without JB who I adore as a basketball player. ☘️☘️      From what  I'm seeing the C's can roll all over anything these Hornets do. Kudos to the next man stepping up in each game. It seems with how deep our team is we are damn near unbeatable. Queta has been a sight lately. That man is a mix with hustle and talent. Pairing him with Al is a next level move.       CS are just simply quicker to the ball. I don't know why Scal drools over Ball but c'mon! Tommy would never kiss any opponents butt in a game. PP is en Fuego right now! Five threes already! C's are a wagon so get out of the way!  🏀🏀🏀      CS are allowing the Hornets to get back into th...

C's are in Charlotte for a back to back.   🏀      JB opens us up in scoring, and JT follows suit after that. So far Charlotte is going toe to toe with us. Charles Lee will have these Hornets playing hard tonight. There's definitely some talent on this Hornets team. C's are off to a slow start on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling right now. C's need to start pushing in transition. Speed this game up. DWhite nails a three! I love his shot!      What's incredible about Derrick White is his ability to be solid on both ends of the floor. He's the ultimate teammate and exemplifies what it means to be a Celtic. Red would have loved him. I love watching him on defense, because it's like looking at art. Both he and Jrue should be used in a how to video about playing defense.       C's are starting to push the pace like I was hoping they would. Now the lead is starting to push towards double digits. Now it is double digits! A...

Overtime...      C's have forced overtime after trailing by 24 points. Hali opens the scoring with a three. Kudos to Queta who has been giving everything he has tonight. DWhite ties the game with a three of his own! Never underestimate the heart of a champion. C's trail by one with about two minutes to go. JT aggressively attacks the rim and gets the call. Misses the first and hits the second. Tie game...      Queta has been amazing on the glass! Saving the C's multiple possessions! PP with a chance to tie this game at the line. Ice in his veins! C's grab the board with a chance to grab the lead! DWhite to the cup and there's a goaltend! He's freaking CLUTCH! Now it's time to exhibit that championship defense here. Pacers with the rock down by two. Siakim ties the game, C's call a timeout. C's have plenty of options out here, expect some type of pick and roll or pick and pop. Well Siakim hits the shot that wins the game. Great fight by the C's to...

  Payton Pritchard was asked about the fan support from so many Celtics faithful. His response was right on. This is a cool answer from Payton Pritchard on the fan support he receives: “I feel like it comes because I look like an ordinary person. I feel like I give hope to everybody that is the same size as me… With hard work you can make it a long way, & I’m a prime example of that.” pic.twitter.com/McTYJWikgt — Justin Turpin (@JustinmTurpin) October 29, 2024 On the streets of Boston, you would not pick out this guy in a crowd. "Only" 6'1" in height - short, no-fuss haircut - no visible tattoos - no outrageous outfits. Just an "ordinary person". Even on the basketball court, his movements don't suggest a high-level athlete with quickness and leaping ability. But then like last night versus the Bucks, Pritchard digs deep into his work ethic and wish (need?) to excel and explodes for major points (28 last night), dazzling accuracy (10-of-14 FG, 8-of...

     Giannis and the Bucks come into Boston with questions. Giannis himself is wondering who his team is... They are 1-2 and don't have an identity. Unlike our Boston Celtics who are the best team in the NBA. It's always fun when the C's play the Bucks. Especially because Giannis is a truly special player. With that said Let's Go Celtics!  1Q🏀    Here we go, it's game time! So far it's a scoreless first. C's have come out a bit cold, kinda like the temperature out there tonight. C's ball movement is there but the shots aren't falling. Al Horford with the block of the game already! Sent the shot by Giannis out like grease lightning! That block lead to DWhite scoring in transition. DWhite followed up the layup with a beautiful three pointer. DWhite has the C's first seven points.       C's better be careful because Dame looks locked in early on. Jaylen Brown has transformed his body into a machine. He's absolutely ripped and barely fits i...

 While his comrade, Jayson Tatum , is starting the season looking like an MVP, Jaylen Brown is also off to a great start. After three games, all wins for Boston, the 6'6" SG/SF l eads his team in minutes (32.7 MPG), rebounds (8.3 RPG) and steals (2.0 SPG). But what really stands out is Jaylen's free throw accuracy . His career stats show him hitting on 72.0% of his freebies, but he is nailing 89.5% of his free throws this season . Furthermore, he is hitting 45.8% of his 3-pointers in the three games thus far , despite a career percentage of 36.4% on his shots from the hinterlands. We are only talking about three games here, but it is apparent that Brown has been once again working on his game in the off-season. Could we be looking at two Celtics players being in the MVP discussion this season? Entirely possible.

  First Quarter 🏀      C's jump out to a 10-4 lead do to some excellent ball movement. We have our wise Jedi Al Horford leading by example tonight. I tell ya Al never seems to truly age. He's the consummate pro and one of my favorites on this team. I'll go out on a limb and say he's making the Hall of fame one day.       This Pistons pace is very fast, C's need to slow them down. On the other end we see the flawless ball movement by the C's leading to a JT three. Swish! JT finds the same spot on the next possession and let's it fly again. Swish! JT goes side to side and nails his third three in a row! Swish! As Tommy used to say Bing Bang Boom!       Do you ever just watch Jrue Holiday play defense. The way he gets his body into the offensive player is stout. He uses his physical nature to affect those he's guarding. He doesn't even give them an inch. He always keeps himself between the player and the rim. I love watching him ...
