Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

     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 in

 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 play post defense that&

 The Celtics Brad Stevens Feels he has a keeper in Neemias Queta - as evidenced by the 3-year, $7.2 million contract the 7-foot center signed prior to the 2024-25 season.  The Portuguese import has the size, athleticism and youth (25 years old) to man the center spot for Boston, and he has started this season on a good note. In the two games thus far (both wins for Boston), Queta is averaging 6.0 PPG and 3.5 RPG in a mere 9.0 minutes per game . He still lacks a reliable shot from any distance, but he is a menace around the rim - at both ends of the court. Shout-out to Neemias Queta for his hustle ☘️ He was working HARD against the Wizards last night. Finished with 12 points (5-7 FG) and 7 rebounds (4 off) in 14 minutes off the bench: pic.twitter.com/GHDsZDsdqm — Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) October 25, 2024 Queta is also foul-and-turnover prone , but those flaws can be corrected with more floor time. Right now, he is a potential double-double guy who also is a solid rim protector

We wish a very happy birthday to the great Dave Cowens! What a fierce competitor!  You can see JBs stats above JT had 25 points 11 rebounds 6 assists Do what you will with these numbers!   

C's are in Washington as they look to improve to 2-0. First road game of the season against a team that only won 15 games last year.    1st Q☘️         Happy Birthday to our own Jaylen Brown! He's only 28 folks and is becoming an even more elite player. C's must play hard on both ends against this young Wizards team. C's are in their black uniforms with green lettering. DWhite opens us up with a beautiful three point shot! On their very next possession we see Tatum with an easy layup. C's are pushing the pace early. As the late great Tommy Heinsohn would say RUN!       Tonight should be a very good test for these Celtics in staying focused against an inferior team. Derrick White is a very smooth player on both ends of the floor. His game fits this team like a glove! JTs fall away jumper has clearly improved since last season. His fall away reminds me of Michael Jordans. C's have caught the Wizards on opening night for them and they came to play. Joe takes an ear
