Big Tests Coming

Have the Celtics done enough studying, to pass some big tests over these next few weeks?! Will that superior defense shut down the better teams? 


      The Hawks, Grizz, Nets and Hornets await the Celtics as March kicks off! Talk about a major opportunity to show that the D and this team are for real! 

     It starts tonight, we all know the fits the Hawks have given the Celtics over the past few seasons. The last time we played them it took a huge comeback and JT performance to get us the win. Tonight we need to establish that defensive identity from the start. The Wolverine should give Trae Young a hard welcome the game foul to start things off! 

    Thursday's game really has my attention, the Grizzlies are one of the NBAs best teams. Led by Ja Morant who's on another level. Will the Celtics be able to scheme up a defense to slow him down? Will they force his teammates to beat us?! No matter what it's going to be must see basketball! 

   Sunday could be an epic showdown, as villains KD and Kyrie come into Boston. Now if I needed the Wolverine to do anything it would be planting Kyrie on his butt after a nice hard foul! Is this the game JT goes man to man with KD and pays him back for the playoffs?! To me the Nets are what's wrong with the NBA. Just my opinion! With that said the Garden should be rocking! 

    Finally we have to visit Charlotte who all year has stood up against us. They play a a brand of ball that really challenges the Celtics. The season is getting good, time to see where the Celtics measure up! 

    What's the best and worst case scenario these next four game?!? That's pretty self explanatory. What do you fans and reader's think?! My hope is 4-0 but I'll take 3-1! In my Celtics heart, I feel these games are going to spur a nice run to the top three of the East. 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 ...
