Rob Williams projected for breakout season

By

 Having already labeled Rob Williams as the most-physically-gifted big man since Bill Russell, with a healthy season, this could be a breakout season for the 23-year-old phenom (per NBA.com's Zachary Hanshew):


Robert Williams III (C – BOS)

Didn’t we just witness Time Lord’s breakout? Not quite. In 2020-21, Williams averaged just 18.9 minutes per game while posting some strong numbers. The scary part? He’s got a lot more room to grow. Williams wasn’t played consistently, but when given the minutes, he showed out. In 11 games with at least 25 minutes, Williams averaged 11.5 points, 9.3 boards, 3.6 dimes, 2.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals across 26.7 minutes per contest. It’s a small sample size, but Williams has been a productive per-minute player throughout his career. With a new contract and additional opportunities for minutes, the sky’s the limit for the 23-year-old big assuming he can stay healthy.

Williams III, with sufficient minutes, can easily lead his team in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage in 2021-22. His per-36-minutes stats show 13.1 RPG,  3.3 BPG and 72% FG last season. Points, assists and steals project to 15.2 PPG, 3.4 APG and 1.9 SPG. And his fouls per game compute to only 3.8, an improvement over his prior seasons.

 As skilled as they were, not even Dave Cowens, Robert Parish and Kevin Garnett had the God-or-nature-given qualities that Rob has shown. The phenomenally-gifted youngster has added poise and savvy to his already-productive performances on the hardwood, and "sky's the limit" for this campaign. Could not happen at a more-opportune time.

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

By
  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...
