Sunday in DC

 

☘️

     C's have their starting lineup in tact tonight vs the Wizards. Time to see the fellas blow the doors off the Wizards tonight. C's will have to keep their intensity all game. Especially against an inferior team. C's are off to a slow start tonight. They really shouldn't allow this team to have any life. Yet they are...

     Derrick White going glass off the dribble is something I could get used to watching. He's just a stud on both ends. Knows how to use his body and do anything necessary to win. Whether he's hitting threes, blocking shots, getting steals or just getting all the loose balls, he's just incredible. 

      We are all tied up as the C's look to go on a run here. It's nice seeing them attack the paint tonight. They are killers from deep, but getting to the cup is key. Their defense has been suspect so far, I would hope they pick it up here. I get they are playing the Wizards but take it to em. 

    Nice to see Sam Hauser back tonight. Let's hope his shot is ready to find the bottom of the cup. Sweet play from PP finding DWhite for the three. I love the unselfishness of this team. When they are moving the ball and getting the best shot, no one can stop them. 

    There are three Celtics in the top ten of made three pointers in the league. PP, DWhite and JT. As I'm typing Sam I am goes deep from three and splashes the net. JT puts the Wizards defense in the rinse cycle and jams it home. C's lead after the first.   

🍀🍀

     Let's talk about PP and his sixth man of the year season up to date. What I've seen since he entered the league is growth. His confidence has always been there. His skill set has become elite for this team. He brings such energy off the bench. His three point shooting is elite. He can hit from anywhere on the floor. His ability to change speeds when he has the rock is elite. I really love everything about his game, even his defense for a smaller guard. 

     Sam Hauser this season to me is doing more than last season. Offensively he has shown he's more than a three point shooter. Defensively he's had some moments where he's really done well. Showing no fear against anyone who he's guarding. You have to love it!

      C's are killing it tonight with second chance points. Which shows they want it more. Their three point shooting here in the second has been pretty damn good. What's crazy is currently we are up by eighteen and we still have six minutes to go. C's are just miles above this Wizards team. How is this Wizards team even in the NBA. They are absolutely awful.

      Anyone watch the documentary on the NBA app Banner 18? I finally did and it was pretty good. I do however miss being able to buy the championship DVD though. Something about having that hard copy in your hands and being able to watch whenever you wanted. As I do with banner 17 and the comprehensive Celtics one that shows their entire history. 

     Anyone else feel as though they are part of the Celtics family? I mean when the older player talk about it being a life style just seems to hit. As I fan I feel I carry that legacy with me. Everytime I put on my Celtics gear I feel like I have a bounce in my step. There's a true pride in wearing that on your person. Last season I was lucky enough to get some shots up on the parquet. I felt like Kevin Costners dad in field of dreams asking is this Heaven?! Man do I love the Celtics and basketball. C's lead at the half. 

☘️☘️☘️

       Watching this Celtics starting five just shows how damn good they are. When those five are on its game over,  they are the best in the NBA. There is no NBA team who has this level of talent in their top five. It's the best backcourt in basketball. KP is unique and can go inside, outside and dominate the game. The Jays are the best duo in all the NBA. I'm taking them over everyone else.     

     The bench has their gifts as well. Al and PP are your bench studs. Sam, Luke, Queta, and X are your be ready guys who can ball. C's have hit a bit of a drought here. With that said the lead is dwindling. C's must find their offense and rhythm here. I need to see the ball move and guys be unselfish. With that being written PP finds Luke for the JAM! LOVE IT!

      Despite letting the lead slide, the C's are back where they should be up by double digits. PP hits the three and things are looking good! Timeout Wiz... Watching the C's tonight it seems they are moments away from blowing this game wide open. A few more stops and a nice run and it's game over. 

      C's will not play again until I believe Thursday vs the Bulls and Saturday at the Bulls. Weird schedule... Huge game on Tuesday with the Cup final in Vegas. I typed that as I was laughing because that thing is a joke. As a basketball junkie I may take a look at it but honestly it doesn't move the needle for me. It's a gimmick and not worth the time to watch. Celtics teams and fans only care about real banners. Unlike that Fake franchise in LA. C's by a mile. 

🍀🍀🍀🍀 

      C's are executing at a high level here in the fourth. I wouldn't expect anything less from this Championship driven team. With a championship driven Coach who knows how to motivate this team. What I love about Joe is where he finds his materials to teach this team. Joe is brilliant! It took him some time in that first year to find himself, but last year and now he clearly has. He has the potential to become an all time Celtics coach. 

     Today while seeing my nephew at church we were discussing top five basketball players of all time. Which led to us deciding to come up with a list of our top fifty players. Not only us but a few other family members will join. I'm going to start writing my list tomorrow night. So many great players historically throughout the league. The Celtics alone probably have enough players to make the up half the list. Once I've come up with mine I may publish it. 

     C's win again! You have to love it! 

Celtic Pride! Bleed Green! C Us Rise! Nineteen in Green...
