Celtics take out Phoenix Suns 99-85 and hopefully on a new winning streak.

The Boston Celtics took out the Phoenix Suns last night 99-85 and let's hope that starts another winning streak. The Suns were without their starting point guard, Ricky Rubio, who had been experiencing back spasms. His absence had a noticeably negative effect on the Phoenix offense.

The Jay Team once again came through in this one. Jayson Tatum came away with a double-double with a team-high 26 points and 11 rebounds. Jaylen Brown came close to a double-double with 14 points and nine boards. Both players passed off for three assists, and it is great to see the rebounding and passing portions of their games have improved.

Brad Wanamaker came off the bench for Boston, sharing team-high minutes (29) with three other Celtics. He scored ten points - and garnered six dimes and three steals. Devin Booker was high man for the Suns with 20 points and also adding four assists. Former-Celtic, Aron Baynes started at center for Phoenix, notching nine points, six rebounds and five assists. He definitely has found a new home in Phoenix.

Marcus Smart suffered an ankle issue in the game but still managed the usual expected Smart Line of 17 points, three rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and a plus/minus of +18. I am still pushing The Wolverine as Marcus Smart's moniker. I use the tweet below as my Exhibit A. Let's go with it!

The description below of the Wolverine fits Marcus Smart. It needs to be his moniker.

"...reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself."

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

A true-and-suspenseful horror tale of haunting, homicides and the hunt for triple-murderer, Daniel Laplante - as told by the cops that were there By Lt. Thomas Lane (Ret.)

When evil and cleverness reside in the same mind, the stage is often set for true horror. Such was the case with triple-murderer, Daniel Laplante . 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
