Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

  I turned 82 a short while ago and I am in a battle . It starts with remaining verticle - meaning not spending most of the day and night in a horizontal position in bed and on the couch - or, at the worst, ending up in a coffin "on the wrong side of the grass". Viability is about surviving or living successfully - being able to accomplish the necessary  functions that were easy in younger days. Vibrancy in the elderly years is a tougher one.It's about energy and enthusiam . Tough goals in your 80s. Luck always plays a role in longevity and my "3V-trilogy". Disease and injury can take you ou t, and genetic makeup plays a major role. I have dealt with all of that. No one in my 5-person, original family lived past 64 years of age - except me . My dad and brother died at that age, and my mom passed away at 48 - while my sister died at 19. I have dealt with cancer and heart disease that took my mother and brother, respectively, and have luckily avoided the n...

      Man oh man Queta is the Pride of Portugal! Heck he's the Pride of Celtics fans! What a game! Anyone who doesnt think Queta can be special has another thing coming. Every year since he became a Celtic he's improved and will only continue to get better. He's an asset as we approach playoff time. You have to truly value an undersized big who can score and rebound at the rate he does. The man just brings pure joy when he's on the floor. He's a huge reason why this season has been one of my favorites to watch as a fan. When I say I love the Celtics I really mean it.       What can you say about a team that is playing this way. Everyone who entered last night's contest provided us with winning plays. You have to love seeing the bench get excited for one another out there. There is a joy for these guys watching each other succeed. There is no I in team and this TEAM is a cohesive unit. For all these media people riding Jayson Tatum leave the young man a...

 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 ...
