Grant "The Man" Williams in Preseason Game 2 vs. Raptors

Some random Celtics thoughts from Celtics 113-111 victory over the Raptors.

Refs suck even in preseason, Tatum goes to hoop no call, Drajic gets barely hit it's a foul! When will the scales ever be equaled out with calls for the Green? Never!

Romeo is building confidence! Will he stay healthy, does his impact carry into the regular season?

Marcus can drive, shoot and get to the hoop! He can also get the rock where it needs to be. A Junior DJ in the making?

Grant can do it all! Threes! Drives! Defense! It's preseason so let's see how he carries everything into the regular season.

So far no Jaylen - no hierarchy? JT has to assume that leadership role on the floor without the other half to the Dynamic Duo

Al is back and it feels so good to be reunited! We have missed everything you do Al. The Jedi Master to this Celtics team.

Payton chipped in with 11 and 5. If he bumps that up he will be one of the first calls off the bench.

Another slow start in the second quarter. There are times when this team falls asleep offensively, they need to break that rutt.

Josh Richardson brings a tough hard working mentality, Now we need some of the offense he used to kills us with.

Can Imes switching on every play work defensively? I'm not quite sold on it yet but it's better than Brad's calculus type D from his tenure as couch.

We are only two games in but I like the fight in this team. We need hungry Dawgs out there fighting like it's their last meal!

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 ...
