The Celtics should lose to Denver tonight.....but if they don't.......

The Celts loaded up on adrenaline Wednesday night for their game with the Clippers. The whole NBA knows that the Clips and the Lakers are the favorites to win it all. The Celts have been building confidence since they beat Toronto and Milwaukee and just about everyone else (except a lucky Sacramento team) in their way since that opening night loss vs Philly. On Wednesday night the Celtics came to prove that they belong in the upper echelon of the league.

But now tonight we have a different situation. Denver is another "upper echelon" top of team. But they aren't seen as legit title contenders. Not really. But Denver is 10-3 and they were the #2 seed in the West last year. They are a team on the rise, just like the Celtics, and Denver wants to beat upper echelon teams when they step onto their home court. Denver is coming to play tonight.

And that's why the Celts should be in trouble. From an energy standpoint, this is a game where the Celtics will likely be a little bit less than normal. That's a heckuva emotionally draining loss that they went through the other night. To be able to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and then beat the Nuggets tonight would be, dare I say it, championship caliber material. And of course I dare say it it, because I have said it multiple times already in this blog. The Boston Celtics are your 2019-2020 NBA champions. But I'm just not sure about how we will play tonight.

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
