Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

 In the Boston Celtics first three games, newly-acquired Paul George is off to a nice start. He comes in second to Jayson Tatum in: Minutes - 29.7 MPG Points - 23.0 PPG Field goals attempted - 16.7 FGA Free throw percentage - 83.3 % FT PG13 also leads his team in steals at 2.3 thefts per game . He is hitting a respectable 46% from the field while canning 50% of his 3-pointers .Unfortunately, George also trails only Derrick White in turnovers at 2.7 miscues per contest.  Most NBA analysts projected PG13's performance with "The Green" as "Past Great" , and that was expected. But thus far, he has become indispensible for Boston at both ends of the court. Not bad for a guy past his prime.

      Celtics welcome the Bulls to the Garden tonight. Nice to see Hugo score and play a solid game for the first time all season. Hugo's a guy that shows great upside but still needs work. He's a dawg on defense, offensively I'm not fully sure what he's gonna be. I don't want to see him settle for threes. He should be a guy who gets to the hole and could develop a mid range game. I believe Brad sees something in him and I hope this season he takes that next step. I'm starting to get concerned with Payton Pritchards shot. He needs to be a knock down shooter especially beyond the arc. Yet this season he's off to a slow start.       I have enjoyed some of these defensive possessions tonight. There have been some sets where the Cs are legit hounds and giving the Bulls a run for their money. I love when guys and teams really focus their efforts on the defensive end. Defensive is about effort and heart along with positioning. Derrick White is one of if not ...

 I previously wrote that the Celtics Neemias Queta may have developed a mid-range shot in the off-season. His performance in the win over the Knicks last night adds credibility to that possibility. Prior to this season, Queta's offensive arsenal consisted mostly of lobs, putbacks and layups . But last night he showed Boston fans something new. Shout-out to Neemias Queta ☘️ He put up 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks off the bench last night, including the very first made 3-pointer this season: https://t.co/jCZGY4TLRj — Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) October 24, 2026 The Portugese import hit 4-of-8 from the field and he connected on his sole 3-point attempt - while also canning a mid-range shot in the process. It is only one game, but this could be good news for the Celtics.

       Well it's the first game at the Boston Garden, and this team is already under the microscope. Losing that huge lead in Detriot lingers over them. Not to mention the heat Jayson Tatum is receiving after one subpar game. I find the media to be very fickle. There are 82 games a year and every once in a while you won't have your best. The Jayson Tatum I know will come back tonight ready to ball and show who he is. I truly feel we will see who this team is mea t ro be tonight. Expect JT, PP, and DWhite to show why we believe in these Celtics. At least I still do...      Tipoff is here, will we see PG13 score thirty plus again? Everyone knows my distaste for how much Brunson flops out there. Let's see how many calls he's able to generate on flops. Cs are rocking the same starting line up as they did in Detroit. I'm definitely not sold with Jordan Walsh being in the starting lineup. JT gets in the low block and scores off Hart. I truly feel JT needs to...

 In the Celtics loss to the Pistons, Payton Pritchard was on the floor for only 27 minutes . He supplied 17 points, four rebounds, one assist - with zero turnovers . Understanding that Joe Mazzull a needs to see what he has in Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez , but Joe knows what Pritchard can do. The 6'1" two-way guard averaged more than 32 minutes per game in the 2025-26 season - and for good reason. Last season, his 5.2 APG and only 1.4 TOPG - and his ability to put points on the board - showed his value. The Oregon product will turn 29 of age in January, and he should be in his prime. Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla have always appeared to be fond of having as many wings as possible on the parquet, and Payton is still regarded as a liability on defense due to his lack of length. But he takes care of the ball, increases the pace, gets into the paint and never seems to ease up on his on-court intensity. Boston takes on the Knicks tonight in their home open...

      I truly can't understand how a 22 point lead goes away... and or how do you allow a run of 23 to 0 to happen? This makes no logical sense to me as a basketball lover. Time and time again every iteration of these three happy Cs blow huge leads and lose games. One game doesn't define a season but after all the shake ups in the off season, I expect better results. With that said JT played poorly on the offensive end. His assist numbers were nice but everything else was disappointing. I don't believe this is going to be a pattern but I expected more from him today. With that said he and the Celtics will bounce back going forward.       I was not very pleased with trading for Paul George, doesn't mean I don't like his game. I just feel he's underperformed in his career. After today's throw back game I was pleasantly surprised. What we saw today is his true upside as a player. Throughout his career he's put on some good performances. I will watch him w...
