Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

      Cs are in Minnestoa tonight and are holding their own vs a good team. Cs are up six here in the third after having a damn good first half. JB has been excellent tonight. Cs force a shot clock violation and that's why you play hard on D. Cs are in these City Edition uniforms and I'm not a big fan. Cs will need to really get their offense going if they want this win. It's been a bit stagnant so far. Minott forces the turnover on the inbounds. That's a Tommy point and he's a player Tommy would have loved.       JB with a huge block but it's for naught as Edwards grabs the lead for the Wolves. Edwards is starting to heat up. That man can bring it against the best. He's got a fire in him that you love to see even when he's doing it vs the Celtics. There needs to be a kicks cam to check out what the fellas are wearing. I know every time MJ was on the floor I made sure to see what kicks he had on. I always make sure my kicks match my outfits. I've alw...

 Former Celtics Head Honcho, Danny Ainge once mentioned his team needing a shooter with size . And Brad Stevens appears to have that same mindset. At 6'6" and 205 pounds , sophomore Baylor Scheierman , is showing he may be that commodity . The 30th pick in the 2024 draft racked up 13 points (5-of-7 FG, 2-of -5 on 3s), three rebounds and a plus/minus of +13 in 30 minutes of play in Boston's win over the Detroit Pistons. . In limited minutes t his season he is hitting on 61% of his fireld goals and 54% of his 3-pointers . The Celtics recently lost a very effective (but fragile) shooter-with-size in Kristaps Porzingis , and Baylor may never achieve what The Unicorn did, but as a fixed rotation guy going forward, Scheierman could continue to improve and fit securely in Stevens future plans ( per Wikipedia ): On June 26, 2024, Scheierman was selected with the 30th overall pick by the  Boston Celtics  in the  2024 NBA draft . [ 12 ]  His selection received genera...

      Cs played some decent basketball in that first half. Despite such poor shooting, and the Pistons being on a 13 game winning streak. Baylor played very well and his shot looked even better. These Pistons are a very tough team with good skill players. Cade Cunningham is a legit MVP candidate. Duren is only 22 and already one heck of a player. Cs will need to shoot a lot better this half if they want to pull off this upset.       Cs have grabbed a six point lead here, let's see if they can make it last. JB is up to 21 points and continues to shoulder the load this season. Cade is up to 22 and isn't gonna stop there. DWhite is starting to simmer a bit and get his shot going. We really need him to find his form from last season. He has been excellent for the Cs since he was traded here. If he gets it in gear the Cs will be a team to worry about playing. He's an all star level player and can take over a game at will.       JB with t...

       Cs with 80 points in the first half was pretty impressive. The defense has led to a quicker pace in play. I can't believe we lost to the Nets, yet are killing the Magic. The NBA is wild on a nightly basis. Minott has some shifty moves and it gets him plenty of opportunities to score. Orlando is missing players and on a back to back, so it makes sense why we are rolling. JB has lost a contact on that foul. Pretty crazy that his contact fell out on that foul.       Kudos to the Patriots for winning in Cincinnati today. What a season to this point for a team on the rise. DWhite with eleven points so far. Nice to see him involved and doing Derrick White type things. What a block by DW right there! That was awesome to see! DWhite with another block! He's a defensive dynamo! Putting on a master class of how to block shots. Josh  Minott continues to impress tonight, especially with his spacing.       Cs next game will be h...

 It is an early winter in the North Country of New Hampshire. Today is a relatively warm (34 degrees) day, and the ground is covered with a few inches of snow . There is limited sun , but overall, it is a "blue bird" day up here. The road I walk is plowed , but a layer of snow is maintained to please the snowmobile crowd . The first part of the walk is a steep climb , so metal cleats and walking sticks are almost a necessity for a guy approaching 82 years of age. I discard sunglasses for the walk since limited sunlight into the eyes is a good thing for positive brain chemistry and therefore, better sleep patterns . Coyote tracks in the snow are everywhere, revealing the increase in their numbers, although they are rarely seen up here - b eing mostly nocturnal and wanting no part of humans. There is an open hunting season, year round for them in New Hampshire, and no bag limit.  I walk year round for pleasure and recreation , but also for weight management and cardiovas...

      Cs take on the Nets for this third cup game, I know I'm super excited. Cs need to win this game and build on the momentum from winning these last few games. Yet they trail by seven early. Joe calls a timeout and we need help! Cs still trail even after the timeout. They better wake up or this win streak will be out the door. Hauser just hasn't found his shot this season. He did a great job finding PP who did knock down the three. Cs are finally putting things together and are up by six. Their passing has been really good and their knocking down their shots.       Kudos to the Cs who have limited their turnovers unlike they did in Brooklyn. We see Queta with an excellent pass to Baylor for the deuce. Nice to see the big guy distributing the rock. Cs have lost the lead and need a timeout, they better wake the heck up. It's going to take a strong defensive effort to pull away from this Nets team. Anfernee Simons has such a sweet stroke. Huge rebound ...

 The Celtics season is roughly 18% done after 15 games , and Jaylen Brown has confirmed what he set out to do. He was confident that he could assume Boston's "Alpha" role in the absence of the injured Jayson Tatum . Brown is currently third in usage rate (35.6%) behind such luminaries as Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo . So much of the Celtics offense goes through Brown, and he is hitting on 50.3% of his field goal attempts and 34.9% of his 3-pointers . He leads in team in scoring at 27.5 points per game . He leads Boston in field goal attempts but comes in fifth in shot attempts from beyond the arc . His ability to get into the paint and launch a successful 2-pointer or layup has been great to watch. It seems his only downside is his turnover ratio of 3.5 miahaps per game . The season is still young, but thus far Jaylen has been as good as his word . The Celtics now sit ninth in the East Standings with an 8-7 record. The East is a real melting pot where the ...
