Is history repeating itself with Celtics latest star-duo?


      Is history repeating itself? Are we in the midst of doing something very drastic? This writer doesn't believe it needs to be done, but I feel some media members and fans do. Before I dive in let me say this, we drafted two studs, both of which are still young. There are not many NBA players willing to come to Boston. I'm talking studs, stars, guys who move the needle. 

     We all remember the Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce days, there were some wonderful moments, yet only one time did they reach the ECF. Early on they were coached by the rat, whose name I will not use. He never adapted to the NBA and wasted a lot of young talent. That group had their ceiling and it wasn't bringing in any banners. Although Jim O'Brien did a great job getting them into the ECF where they completed a historical epic comeback. fast forward and Toine is gone. It becomes the Truth's team and still no titles. We all know what happens in history. 

     Has this duo of Tatum and Brown experienced more success then Toine and PP, especially early in their careers. Reaching the ECFs a few times. Both players have the ability to lead a team, but can they do it together? Last season we dealt with Covid and a weak roster. This season Covid has reared it's ugly head once again. Plus the injury bug has bitten us. I'm not making excuses I'm just sharing facts. 

      With that said, both the Jays, are very talented and if given the right roster can become very special. The question is what do our readers feel?? I need some feedback. My thought is this you aren't going to bring back anything better in a trade in my opinion, your also not drafting anyone at the caliber of a JB or JT. The floor is yours Celtics fans!

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.

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
