Es hora de que Tacko brille esta noche

Muy bien, podría ser una situación básica para los Boston Celtics esta noche contra el rival Miami Heat. Con solo el mínimo de ocho jugadores de la Liga listados como "disponibles", podría significar que Tacko Time finalmente está aquí.

El "Green Giant" ha visto algunos minutos aumentados en dos juegos en lo que va de temporada y, obviamente, ha estado trabajando en su juego. Sus faltas y pérdidas de balón están bajas. Es cierto que la muestra de este año es pequeña, pero la temporada pasada sus estadísticas por 36 minutos muestran 7.6 faltas y 3.3 pérdidas de balón. Esta temporada revelan 5.8 faltas y CERO pérdidas de balón.

El rebote ofensivo de Tacko es una de las razones por las que Boston ocupa el tercer lugar en la NBA en rebotes ofensivos por juego (11.7 RPG). A pesar de no tener un atletismo de élite, es un protector de llanta fabuloso.

En una defensa de zona, sería un gran obstáculo para los oponentes que ingresan a su territorio. En los dos juegos de Fall esta temporada, ha promediado solo 12.5 MPG. Eso debería cambiar esta noche. Oye, ¿por qué no? Es temprano en la temporada, Boston está empatado con los 76'ers, Suns y Lakers por el mejor récord de la NBA (7-3), y es hora de darle minutos significativos mientras aún está libre de COVID.

Tacko rebota, bloquea y disuade los tiros, tiene buenas manos para atrapar y terminar en lobs, y es un gran compañero de equipo. Los hombres grandes de la Liga tardan un poco más en desarrollarse. Tacko todavía está crudo, pero con la preparación adecuada, podría ser un arma grande (literalmente) en el arsenal de Brad Stevens.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

We already know that the Spurs Victor Wembanyama is going to be an NBA phenomenon, but will he surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar by the end of his career. It is highly likely. I did a "per-36-minutes" comparison between the two stars, mainly because Kareem logged 43.1 MPG in his rookie campaign - while Wemby has been held to only 29.4 MPG. Kareem: 24.1 PPG - 12.1 RPG - 3.4 APG - .518 FG - .653 FT Wemby: 25.9 PPG - 12.9 RPG - 4.5 APG - .463 FG - .796 FT No blocks, steals or 3-pointers were looked at since they were not tracked in Jabbar's first year in the NBA. It should also be noted that Kareem was 22 years old at the time, while Victor started at age 20. Two factors favoring Wembanyama ultimately surpassing Jabbar on any "Best-of-All-Time" charts are his point guard skills , shared by so many European players. and the fact he is being mentored by Gregg Popovich. His potential seems astounding. But the question remains. Can he garner six Titles and six MVP ...
