Poor Offensive Plays and Turnovers - Thoughts On A Loss to Cavs

By
 
     First Half Thoughts

     1st Quarter
     
      GWill came out firing hitting a few threes. Smart and RWill with the connection for yet another JAM! We saw Nesmith get in and get a bucket. 
    
     PP got minutes, very surprised because we rarely see him. Jabari got some time and had a bucket. 

     JT to RWill for two, JT going strong to the hoop. DS had a rain making floater. Overall offensively they left some points on the floor. Celtics lead 20-9.

     2nd Quarter 

     Nesmith again with a bucket. We got some love from Romeo with an And One! We had a Hernangomez sighting getting to the line. 
  
      JT yet again getting to the hoop. JT getting himself to the line. His willingness to go and get to the line is a welcome sign. 

     DS was balling once again, hitting jumpers, getting to the hoop, and also getting to the line as well. Overall his play has been solid over these past two games. Celtics lead 52-38. 

     Second Half Thoughts

     3rd Quarter

     GWill for three again! The Silent assassin! JT falling away getting two, love seeing him go to the hoop, he hit a nice fall away and a three point shot as well! GWill getting points inside.
 
     RWill for two getting those offensive boards. His hustle and numbers this year have been a joy to watch. Love his improvement year to year. RWill with the oop again!
 
     Overall points left out there, we need to see more ball movement. We also need to finish the quarters better. Celtics lead 74-72. 

     4th Quarter
 
     Turnovers and horrible offense have hurt them this quarter. You can't allow inferior teams to hang around. Which can and did lead to the Celtics demise. 

      We saw DS, The Wolverine, and JT get to the line. JT came to play again getting to the hoop, he also tied the game up. There was bad non goal tend call, NBA refs suck. The last play call tonight was not very good. Celtics lose 91-89. Celtics fans expect a better outcome Monday night.

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...

Wemby versus Kareem as rookies

By
 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 ...
