The Great Frank Sinatra Said My Kind Of Town Chicago


      1st Quarter

      Much better start tonight, tonight's effort is there unlike last night. This Bulls team is darn good. The Celtics passing and ball movement has been something to watch tonight. Gotta love how they are attacking the rim! Keep it up fellas! 
    
     Defense Defense Defense! So far the D has been pretty good. Not great, but the hustle is there. Now we need the execution, like the way DS is hounding guys up the floor. Tonight they need to reclaim their toughness on D. 

     2nd Quarter 

     Making the extra pass, is a sight for sore eyes. This is how you move the ball. Team basketball involves making the D work. Too much iso ball this season has doomed the Celtics. Pretty easy to game plan a team who lives for Iso ball. Need to keep the ball moving, setting screens, and making that extra pass. 

     Where's the D gone? DeMar DeRozan is destroying them as he always does. Is there a bullseye when he plays us? Certain guys just light up when they see the green and white and he's one of them. 

     3rd Quarter   

     RWill, saving possessions like it's his mission in life. Once again as he's done all year his effort and athleticism earns the Celtics extra chances to score. A guy like RWill is hard to find, a big who has a high basketball IQ and whose hustle and heart can't be measured. 

     The pace of the game favors the Celtics, yet the Bulls are still in this. Despite the Bulls missing some key pieces this team has come out to play. They are a very deep and well coached team. If the Celtics want this game they are gonna need to keep their play of pace going. PP coming in and making a huge impact!

     4th Quarter 

     Maturation of JT, on back to back possessions we saw him make the right plays. Showing the fans his basketball IQ has grown. For those media members who tear JT apart, watch the games with a clearer eye. His game is becoming better and better. To me he's the best player we have seen since the Truth. 

    As it stands the Celtics are going to fall to a depleted Bulls team and I'm getting that sick feeling again. Hopefully it's just the antibiotics I'm on, come on C's get your act together! Thankfully they have gotten it together. JRich nailing a big shot, RWill hitting the free throws to tie it up. JTs D on DeRozan showed some grit and balls. RWill with the go ahead free throws! Now it's up to the D! Celtics Win! Bleed Green!

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 ...
