Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 Don't rule it out. Neemias Queta , aka :Portuguese Man O' War, is heving a great, and unexpected season. His career game came last night in Boston's win over the rival 76ers. "Neemie" racked up 27 points, 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks. Ten of those boards were on the offensive end. He just gets better and better as the season progresses.  Queta is a classic return to the days of old-style centers . He still can't hit from any distance, but he does so much else - protecting the rim, cleaning the glass, finishing on lobs and put-backs. He is fun to watch. #Celtics brothers and sisters is this a fun season or what? It's one of my favorites and I'm a fan of 50 years. It's full of surprises like Neemy having an all-time great night against the #Sixers . What's next? I can't wait to find out. pic.twitter.com/y2SYxGb9k1 — Ty Ray (@coug88) March 2, 2026 Most fans did not see this coming. In his fifth season in the League...

 In the history of the Boston Celtics, Red Auerbach's acquisition of Bill Russell and Larry Bird have to rank at the very-top of "The Green's" major moves. Add in maneuvering to get Robert Parish and Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge's dealing to get The Jay Team. But I still can't believe how Brad Stevens quickly rebuilt his team when forced to shed the roster of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, Jrue Holiday and Luke Kornet - while working to lessen the damage of losing his beast player, Jayson Tatum , to injury. If Stevens is not in serious conversation as Exec of The Year , I will continue to feel the Celtics tend to be ignored at award time. And frankly, his belief in Joe Mazzulla to orchestrate the regular season with a ravaged roster enters into this discussion.  The Russell, Bird, Parish, McHale and Jay Team acquisitions were successful, long-term moves . Ditto on Stevens' masterful maneuvering to cutting costs drastically, while maintaining a trul...

      How about the performance from this entire Celtics team. Everyone who entered the game scored. Even the bench guys who very rarely play. Talk about offensive efficiency. Tonight was Vucs coming out party and why the Cs traded for him. He led the way with along with JB scoring 28 points. I think anyone who has watched Vuc over the years knows how good he is. The man is a walking double double and doesn't take games off for load management. It was nice seeing him in the post but man he lit it up from deep. His rebounding is exceptional and he fits this team really well. He's a guy Brad has always coveted and could have a nice run here in Boston.       JB has simply been one of the top players in the entire NBA. He's honestly the best two way player in the game. I always knew JB was going to be good the moment we drafted him. There was always a reason why Danny drafted him and Brad wanted him. What we are seeing this season is a masterclass in great...

       Cs have trailed the Suns for most of this first half. I mean we have no JB but we still should beat this Suns team. I really like how PP and Sam have been shooting lately. They will be key players as we grind out the rest of the regular season. Joe has really learned who plays well together and every now and then he gets someone in there who hasn't played a while and they Excell. I've seen a lot of growth in Joe's coaching this season. Especially on the defensive end. He should be Coach of the Year. If he's not shame on the NBA.       Derrick White has been extremely efficient on the offensive end tonight. His ability to see the floor and find guys is a master class. The way he rebounds for a guard is second to none. Since the day he was traded here he's become and is one of my favorite players. Honestly he's a complete player who never gets the recognition he deserves. He's the ultimate Celtics and would be on any iteration of the Celtics ...

  "SATISFYING" ? You bet!  Westt Coast versus East Coast. Land of sunshine and warmth against a lanscape being blanketed in snow as I write this, A team that seems to have stars drooling to be there pitted against a franchise that almost always comes through via intelligence, strategy and great decisions . The LA Lakers always seem to sign superstars, in large part because of the lights, the stars of the big-and-small screens and the chance for film credits of their own. Lebron James and Luka Doncic were the two latest star additions on the court last night when Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard and a cast of able supporters walked away with the victory. In Los Angeles, it started with Wilt Chamberlain heading to the City of Angels. And he was followed by Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal and Pau Gasol . Quite a cast. And meanwhile, Red Auerbach, Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens were wheeling and dealing for Bill Russell, John Havlicek, JoJo White, Dave Cowens, Larry B...

      How about them Celtics?!! Going into the so called Lions Den in LA and kicking their butts! What makes it great is they were honoring Pat the Rat Riley. Cs are a much better team than the Lakers this season. Historically the Celtics are a better team than the Lakers. Just go and study the numbers. Seems like a one sided rivalry to me! Celtics have and will always be the greatest NBA Franchise of all time.       Payton Pritchard was on fire last night, he made Austin Reaves look like a fool on D. Pritch was lethal from beyond the arc and had his fair share of points in the post. I love when he uses his change of pace out there. Whether to score or throw off the defender. He isn't afraid to grab rebounds and finds his teammates where they can score. Pritch has been an exceptional player since he was drafted by the Celtics. One of my favorite players to watch and wrote about. I mean he's a cold blooded assasin! Coming off the bench is where he flour...
