Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

       Thoughts from a sad Celtics fan here encompassing basketball. First I need to say that the Celtics collapse vs the Sixers was horrendous. Yet inevitable because they shed so many good player who made winning plays. I loved this roster but it was more suited for the regular season. In the playoffs everyone turned into pumpkins. Hey Billionaire Bill thanks for nothing. I don't know what the future holds for the Jays but this team needs more of an identity and not one that shoots threes. Would I trade JB yes and no, he's been such a joy to watch. Although he's crapped himself as well. If he's traded it needs to be for a culture guy like Kevin Garnett. It wasn't Doc Rivers who set that it was Kevin Freaking Garnett. Is Giannis that guy??? He may well be and I like his game and who he is as a player. Ideally I'd keep the Jays and trade for him as well.       How about that game last night with OKC and San Antonio! That is must watch basketball u...

 This time it was three hikers on Mt. Lafayette caught on the mountain at night without a flashlight . The lack of preparation continues , and it isn't even Memorial Day yet. New Hampshire Fish and Game once again, on May 11, 2026 were contacted to locate the three hikers in Franconia Notch, NH, after they were unable to follow the trail after dark , as temperatures dipped into the 20s . A proper flashlight might cost a few bucks and weigh only a few ounces . Why did they not have one? Fish and Game in New Hampshire are understaffed and overworked . Their prime duty used to be ensuring that fish and wildlife were protected , but hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has become extremely popular over the past few decades. And many who take to the hills assume incorrectly that the weather on the peaks will be quite like what they experience as they leave their cars at the base. And they are unprepared for what they encounter . Search-and-rescue and body recoveries require ...

  Isaiah Thomas was picked dead last (60th overall) by the Sacramento Kings in the 2011 NBA draft . He was a 2-time All-Star with the Boston Celtics and will now be searching colleges and NBA teams for players that will strengthen the current core of "The Green". "IT" played for eight NBA teams , but it was in Boston where he truly excelled . After being traded to Cleveland as part of a deal for the Celtics to acquire Kyrie Irving , injuries took a toll on the 5'9" point guard. He was never the same after leaving Boston. But now he is coming back to Beantown, this time as a scout . Thomas is also known for stating that then-Celtics-head-honcho, Danny Ainge, would have to back up the Brinks truck for his next contract back in 2017. That big money never materialized for Isaiah , but Brad Stevens' move to bring him back in his new capacity could be a sound decision. Isaiah knew how to adapt his game to minimize his lack of height on the court, and he...

 Besides being an extremely-lucrative endeavor, the main purpose of the NBA is to entertain and distract. Despite the pain of the Boston Celtics being taken out of contention by the long-time rival Philadelphia 76ers, I personally enjoyed this past season . I was totally entertained by this present roster and what it accomplished. The general mindset was that they were going nowhere after losing four key players (five if the injured Jayson Tatum is included).  It turned out to be an "overachieving regular season" . Virtually every Boston player played over their heads, resulting in a 56-26 season . Even Tatum's performance upon returning from injury prior to the playoffs was better than expected.  Then things went horribly wrong in the post-season . The Celtics home loss to an Embiid-less Philly team in Game 2 was a killer . Had Boston won that game, they could have swept Philadelphia. But Joel returned to action for the 76ers - Tatum suffered a leg issue - and the re...

      Game five was a disaster at the end but we have another shot tonight to close it out. Despite a three to one lead in the series the Celtics lost to the Sixers in seven. A team who over achieved in the regular season but who has a very flawed roster. I for one have been very down after these three losses because I had high hopes. At the end of the day too many missed shots and lack of defense plus in game adjustments hurt our team. I will forever love the Cs but when they lose it sucks.       I think when you gut your team of so many players it hurts in the long run. Any one of those players given away could have helped win this series. Especially a guy like Luke Kornet. There are some hard workers on this team but they are flawed and for some reason they all crapped the bed together. Ultimately Billionaire Bill needs to pony up and prove he wants to win. I expect a more complete team next year and there will be changes. Celtic Pride Always. Banne...

      Cs look to grab a three to one lead here in Philly. Cs must come out ready to fight on every possession. The Jays will need to lead by example but need everyone else to do their job. Calling Derrick White please answer the call and give us one of those games. These refs are already giving Embid all the calls. Watching him.play basketball makes me sick. The NBA coddles this giant baby. This first quarter was dominanted by the Celtics bench. PP was en feugo from deep! Walsh was a defensive menace and nailed a sweet three. Baylor our here giving everything he's got even nailing a three. Very impressed with that first quarter.       The Jays have yet to get going and the Cs have a solid lead. If they can get going it could be a long night for the Sixers. I really need to see Derrick White get going. PP is killing it tonight and I freaking love it! I hope he goes for forty! Overall I'm pleased with the defense from the Cs but they can't relent. Need t...
