Celtics Jay Team occupies two slots in Bleacher Reports' Top-10 wings

Bleacher Reports' NBA wing ratings are out, and no surprise, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown made the cut.

7. Jaylen Brown

While he's forever been in trade rumors as bait to chase superstars, Brown has become the perfect No. 2 option in Boston. The 25-year-old is already one of the most complete wings in the NBA and ranks ahead of Ingram and DeRozan here thanks to his play on the defensive end.

The Celtics' slow start last year likely cost Brown his second All-Star trip, something that shouldn't happen again with how talented Boston is overall. Assuming the summer trade talk centered around Kevin Durant hasn't bothered him too much, Brown is due for another huge year with the C's.

2. Jayson Tatum

We knew this moment was coming since his rookie season. Tatum is officially flirting with top-five-player status and is projected to pass veteran wings like LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler in the NBA pecking order by the end of the season.

Tatum's eye-popping plus-16.5 swing rating ranked in the 99th percentile, per Cleaning the Glass, which speaks to the impact he makes on both ends of the court.

With a whopping 74 games of playoff experience already at age 24, Tatum's postseason success should only continue to spill into the regular season. He'll continually be an MVP and scoring-crown candidate for the next decade.

An awful lot of hope for the Boston Celtics this season rides on the shoulders of this "Dynamic Duo". Any rival team would love to have them on their roster.

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...
