Has a loss ever been a win?

It's engrained in me to never lose, true story all through grade school I never lost a one on one matchup on the court. I took pride in that. It took me a long time to realize that losing happens, and I learned from those times. This Celtics team has lost the Finals and now they must let it hurt and fuel them to a title run next year.

Look at Jordans Bulls, the Pistons were in their way and set them back which eventually led to a Chicago three-peat and Jordans ultimate greatness. In losing Jordan found the will to never want that feeling again. Then after he came back from baseball guess what his Bulls lost to the Magic. History shows he came back even greater and led the Bulls to another three peat. If I'm JT who is a Jordan brand wearer, I'm texting MJ just like Kobe did and picking his brain about everything basketball.

Let's look at Celtics Lakers in the 80s Bird and Magic used losing to one another to fuel them in wanting to win the next time they played. Using each other as competition to drive their greatness to a new level. If I'm the Jays I'm looking at the team that beat me and using that to spur my career going forward. Like those Celtics of the 80s the Celtics have their Coach and GM locked into unleashing their greatness. Not comparing them to KC or Red, just saying they both have that opportunity to be great.

We should all look back on this run as a step into what is going to be a long run. Beating teams with HOFs, MVPs, and defending Champs is damn impressive. If next year we add a few pieces and our team uses this loss as fuel and we finally claim Banner 18. Then we can say that a loss can be a win! Bleed Green! Celtic Pride!

PS Side Note a good portion of Boston Media is toxic and doesn't deserve watching JT and JB. Let's see how amazing you were at 24/25.

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...
