10 quick insights into Celtics season and last's night's win

Some pertinent, quick insights by Ty Ray on the Celtics season thus far. Little needs to be added, but I will inject a few of my own thoughts.

Celtics Monday Thoughts:

1. I miss Jaylen
2. JT's shooting will come around
3. Team needs another scorer
4. Schroeder is a steal
5. Schroeder's a great trade chip
6. Richardson is coming around
7. Smart doing Smart
8. Celts game ending o sucks
9. Beat Cle
10. I miss PP

1.) So do I. Jaylen seems to have added some additional quickness and trickery to his dribble work over the summer. This team needs him back to accomplish anything major this season.

2.) It didn't happen last night vs. Cavs (35% FG, 7-of-20), but the shooting slump will end for Jayson. And he played a team game in the Celtics win (5 assists, 8 boards).

3.) I believe there is another scorer on the bench. Brown's return will help, but one-of Pritchard, Nesmith, Langford, JRich or GWill may step into the role and take the added minutes that will accompany that extra floor time.

4.) Despite his turnovers, Schroder is indeed a steal. Tough to think where Boston would be without him.

5.) Dennis as trade chip? Never thought of that, frankly, but if the season heads south, there are a lot of playoff-bound teams that would love to bring him in.

6.) JRich just quietly does his thing every night. As he gets more comfortable in his new role, he could prove vital in the post-season.

7.) Marcus last night: 34 M - 14 P - 46% FG - 4 R - 5 A - 2 S. Only 1-of-5 from 3-point territory, but this is a typical Smart line.

8.) Celtics still plagued with horrendous offensive stretches. They need to find a cure.

9.) They did! Score of 98-92.

10.) Yes, where the hell is last-year's rookie that stepped onto the court like he had been playing in the NBA for a few years? This I just don't understand. Granted, Schroder has earned big minutes, but with Jaylen out, why don't we see more of Pritchard?

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.) Daniel Laplante - cold, calm, clever, calculating- Photo: YouTube Elm Street surfaces on four occasions in the Laplante saga: 1.) He resided on Elm Street in Townsend, Massachusetts 2.) He kidnapped a woman at gunpoint on Elm Street, Pepperell , Massachusetts 3.) He was arrested and transported to Massachusetts State Police Barracks on Elm Street in Concord . 3.) He was tried, convicted and sentenced for the murders at Superior Court , corner of Elm Stree t and Gorham Street, Lowell, Massachusetts. 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

Did the Celtics Kevin McHale really have a wingspan of 8-feet?

One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics.
