Former Celtics favorite, Isaiah Thomas, with a healthy and productive Wizards debut

It's no wonder the Washington Wizards signed Former Celtic, Isaiah Thomas, to a contract this season. He literally destroyed them in Game 2 of the 2017 Eastern Conference Semi Finals. They could not stop the diminutive point guard as he scored 53 points from all over the court in a variety of ways.

Here's a flashback to Isaiah Thomas' 53-point explosion against the Wizards in the 2017 playoffs. No wonder Washington signed him this season.

Isaiah has not played much since then. He was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Kyrie Irving deal and has bounced around the League with various teams, and dealt with assorted injuries, since that epic performance.

But he is back, making his Wizards debut in a 124-122 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Thomas looked like what Boston fans remember - totally healthy and an offensive dynamo. He scored 16 points in only 19 minutes of action on 43% from the field (6-of-14) and 40% on 3-pointers (4-of-10). He added three rebounds and five assists.

Former Celtic favorite, Isaiah Thomas, looked healthy, scoring 16 points in Wizards debut. Read my article, coming up later today.

Isaiah always had an edge to him, but for a guy at 5'8" to make it in the NBA, I truly believe he felt he needed that inner toughness to survive and thrive. Welcome back, Isaiah. Stay healthy.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik
