Jayson Tatum's shoulder issue and Draymond Green's hoodlumism

Celtics Coach, Ime Udoka, has informed fans that Jayson Tatum's right shoulder injury is just a "stinger", and the star forward will have to play through some pain in any remaining Finals contests.

Ime Udoka says he believes Jayson Tatum’s shoulder is gonna hurt a bit, a stinger, whenever he gets hit but adds that there’s no big concern at the moment.

Jayson is dealing with significant pain in that right shoulder, but he is a right-handed shooter and scorer. There is a high probability that the shoulder injury is hampering his shooting accuracy. Her has to deal with the pain and no doubt at least some limited range of motion in that joint.

It's tough enough putting a 9.5-inch ball through an 18-inch hoop from 23 feet away with Andrew Wiggins almost in your shirt, but add shoulder pain and limited range of motion to the equation, and the task gets much, much more difficult.

The short tweet/video above sickens me. That was not a legitimate basketball play by Draymond Green. That was the play of a hoodlum Tatum injured that shoulder in Game 3 versus the Miami Heat, and fans can expect opponents to attack any weakness in the course of a game - particularly in the Finals. Green went well beyond in that single play.

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
