Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

      How about the other night in Cleveland folks, PP went off for 40 points and JB had a triple double. Cs had built up quite the nice lead yet the game came down to the wire. In today's NBA no lead is ever safe. The way in which PP played was damn near incredible. That young man is capable of doing this on a regular basis. Tonight the Cs welcome the Knicks and their star flopper Brunson. I have no respect for him and can't stand watching him.       Cs are off to a slow start but we get a Queta jam to get the crowd going. What a terrible underwhelming start tonight. They better pick it up because I can't stand the Knicks. The first quarter was a bit of a disaster given how poorly the Celtics played. The Celtics redeemed themselves in the second led by JB playing like the Finals MVP he is. He brought it to the Knicks and they had zero answers. Hugo offered a spark out there and DWhite hit a few shots. Overall they pushed the ball on turnovers and miss...

      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...
