Slow start But Epic Finish

By



Another slow start to last night's game, and another 3rd/4th quarter deficit, yet this team FOUGHT! They fought hard and ended up coming out with a HUGE win. What makes this team different from past year's and even earlier this year is they DONT GIVE UP. The Bucks and Celtics have been evenly matched up so far this series. Each teams D has frustrated the other, Giannis is Giannis and we have witnessed JT and JB along with Al come up big. We have also seen in each of the Celtics win a true team effort. We are also a few bad calls away from being up 3-1. 

Let's talk about Al, he has truly found the fountain of youth being back with the Celtics. All year we here at the Sentinel have felt that way. After Giannis getting in his face last night, Al was changed into a different player and he showed it last night. Hitting big shot after big shot and when he drove and DUNKED on the Greek the game was won in my mind. On a different note when interviewed after the game Al gave glory to the Lord, for me personally that shows the man we know as Amazing Al! 

JT finally shook his cold shooting and made the fourth quarter his own. Hitting shot after shot and making the right passes when needed. His defense was killer and he even challenged the Greek. Kudos to the Wolverine in the quarter as well, making a few key drives and getting to the rack. 

I like the competitive fire in both teams and it was exemplified when the Wolverine and Greek we're tangled up, at first it seemed they tried helping each other up yet in the long run Marcus was over it and got up. Gimme that 80s/90s fire. In a different play we saw JB drive hard to the hole go for the dunk and get fouled, Giannis then goes to respectfully acknowledge him and JB was like nah I'm good! I love it, let's leave the respective love and admiration for after the series. 

In all reality last night was a must win and the Celtics delivered now it's best of three, two of which are in Boston! The Garden needs to be rocking and shaking to it's core. Bleed Green!

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 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...
