We have a "Big" announcement!

While last night's outcome wasn't what we expected or wanted, there are some positives to take away. You ask - what are those positives? Check out these stats! From Horford and Williams III, a combined 29 points on 65% shooting from the field, 50% on 3s. 22 boards (8 offensive) - 5 assists - 2 steals - 5 blocks and only 2 turnovers. Now that's something we can all get used to game in and game out! My compliments to Tom putting these numbers together.

We have the smartest readers out there, so as you can tell our Sentinel Citation Award goes to? Drum Roll please, Al and Rob the two headed "Big" monster.

Al did it all last night, honestly he looked like a younger version of himself! He was crashing the boards, hustling for rebounds and getting his hands in there defensively! He posted up and nailed some threes. He got the crowd into it. Let's not forget he blocked Harrell twice in one play, oh wait they called a foul. Al's career is having a great second act with Boston.

RWill is just a jack of all trades! Rebounding, tips, just keeping balls alive - his work ethic is wonderful. His passing is pretty stout, and he just needs to develop more of a post up presence, maybe Kevin McHale or Robert Parish will fly down and coach him up? His alley oops are thunderous! His defense is solid. This young fella truly works hard.

We here at the Sentinel feel that past Celtic greats would look at the "Bigs" and concur with us awarding them. Now we just need to see the Ws roll in! Bleed Green!

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
