Celtics ☘️ Sentinel

  Pat Riley got his wish. Giannis Antetokounmpo will reportedly join Bam Adebayo in Miami, with the Bucks'  Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Kel'el Ware ending up in Milwaukee. . "The Celtics were not willing to part with enough young players and assets to get a deal done." @ShamsCharania says Boston offered Jaylen Brown and two first-round picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo before he was traded to Miami 👀 pic.twitter.com/WvGCveMwjE — NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) June 23, 2026 So the drama centered around "The Greek Freak"  possibly going to the Boston Celtics has ended, Celtics fans can be assured that Brad Stevens is not done constructing his 2026-27 squad. Granted, Giannis remains a top-tier talent in the NBA, but less-radical moves may be in store for perhaps the most-storied  franchise in sports history. In the end, Pat Riley apparently has assembled a potent front-court duo in "The Freak" and Bam, but a few questions remain about Giannis' age,...

 It never stops ! Despite the many warnings, unprepared hikers in the White Mountains of New Hampshire continue to get lost, cold, wet and immersed in darkness without a flashlight. NH Fish and Game and other rescuers were forced to hit the trails of Mt. Lafayette on two separate missions on the evening of June 19, 2026. One of the rescued hikers was hypothermic and unconscious when located, and a volunteer from a rescue squad suffered a serious injury during the operation. When will this end ? The many rescues and body recoveries are almost always preventable when responsible hikers prepare for weather variables such as wind, rain, snow, darkness and colder temperatures as they climb to the peaks.

  May is normally unofficial "Moose Month" in Northern New Hampshire, but not so in 2026 . I live in the northern tip of the state and have found that the month of May normally results in the most sightings of the gigantic creatures. Moose in my driveway In the late 1990s and early 2000s, moose were everywhere . At that time, the estimated population was roughly 7,000-8,000 animals . On my walks in the woods, I would often have to change my path due to a moose blocking my way. Dodging them while driving on the roads was always a contest trying to avoid a collision. The huge animals would often walk down my driveway, and a cow moose came after my wife and I in one frightening encounter. I once spotted 11 young bull moose together by the side of Route 16 in the nearby Rangeley, Maine area. They were particularly visible in numbers on the sides of the roads in May, usually appearing somewhat ragged as they shed their winter coats. Even as their numbers declined significantly...

 The Boston Celtics' time for Banner 19 is now , but there is a wider Title window. Assuming both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown remain with "The Green", most of the championship hopes lie with them. Generally, an NBA player's peak occurs between the ages of 27 and 31 . Brown is 29 and Tatum is 28. Derrick White is 31 and Payton Pritchard is 28 . A player's peak theoretically combines top physical performance, max basketball savvy and sufficient on-court experience . The Celtics Title window should remain open for a few more years with the above-mentioned crew members onboard. NBA dynasties are virtually dead , and championships are becoming tougher to achieve. Boston's 60s run of Titles will never be seen again. But the Celtics leadership is top-notch with Brad Stevens and Joe Mazzulla leading the charge, so Banners 19-and-beyond are within reach. Some roster changes are coming . Stevens has mentioned getting more opportunities at the rim , which may sugg...

  Joe Mazzulla wins the NBA Coach-of-the-Year after Brad Stevens takes Exec-of-the-Year. Despite the Boston Celtics blowing a 3-1 series lead versus the 76ers this post-season, the greatness of "The Green" continues on. Stevens, after being forced to "trim" his roster, put together a tenaceous crew for 2025-26, and Mazzulla took what many viewed as a "rag tag" group and ended up with the second seed in the East. The playoffs were a disappointment for Celtics fans, but the future remains bright. In any endeavor, success begins at the top . In the past, the Celtics have been led by duos such as Red Auerbach and Bill Russell - Auerbach and Tom Heinsohn - Red and K C Jones - Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens - and now, Brad and Joe. Congrats to Stevens and Mazzulla. Very deserving of the awards. We look forward to the upcoming season.

       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...
