Javonte Green dazzles in 107-106 Celtics exhibition win over Charlotte

After a fine Summer League showing and a dazzling performance in the Celtics exhibition win over Charlotte last night, Javonte Green continues to make a strong push for that 15th-and-final Boston roster slot. Green averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals in Summer League play and earned an $898,000 (partial guarantee) deal this season and a $1.5 million deal (not guaranteed) for 2020-21.

15 points on perfect 7-of-7 shooting for Javonte Green, including some insanely athletic dunks. Yeah, that's the first NBA game @2Xtremebounce ever attended. You read that right!

His play last night was all crammed into seven minutes and forty-three seconds in the fourth quarter. Javonte entered the game at the 10:54 mark of the fourth period and got going immediately - with a rebound 14 seconds into his stint. Over the following seven minutes he scored 15 points on put-backs, dunks, drives, a finger roll and a 3-pointer. He also managed to take down four rebounds in that same span.

Javonte Green tells me this was the first NBA game he’s ever attended. Period. Hadn’t even been to a game as a spectator.

Not only was he effective out there - he was efficient. His 15 points came on perfect 7-of-7 from the field and 1-of-1 on treys. And all of this happened with Green picking up no turnovers. He is extremely athletic and a tough defender. If last night's performance was even a hint of what the 6'4", 26-year-old can do on the hardwood, he is a lock to stick on the Celtics 15-man roster.

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

The Elm Street Nightmare

As a 16-year old , he quickly transitioned from: Minor thefts and breaking into homes To: Taunting and threatening a father and his two daughters as an unseen
