Sunday Basketball With My Familia

There was a sequence in last night's game that just showed how damn good this offense is. The ball went from player to player with the grace of a majestic dancer. The defense could not stop it, the shot fell short but the movement was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

For all those naysayers giving JB crap, please hush. He showed that he is capable of doing what is needed to win. He's limiting his turnovers, he's getting his teammates involved, and we'll he's just a bad man! He brought the thunder with a one handed DUNK that shook the arena!

The bench did their job once again, guys like Malcolm, Sam, PP and Luuuuuuuuuke brought the energy. Each guy knows their roll, and executed it! Kudos to Marcus and DWhite because they are just wonderfully players to watch!

I am disappointed to have not seen JT play live, although I have in the past. I love this kid, I get resting the ankle. Yet part of me says after what I scraped together for these tickets, I want to see my guy. If you all remember in the Last Dance, there's a part where Jordans trainer basically eludes to that. These fans pay their hard earned money to see me and I'm giving them my everything. I believe JT would have played but there was an edict from the team.

I've been open since I was given the opportunity to write here at the Sentinel. Last night meant everything to me. It rained like crazy, we sat in hours of traffic but in the end I was able to share watching Celtics basketball with my dad and family. Losing Mom last year put a lot of things into perspective. It reminded me to always trust in God and to live life to the fullest. Writing last season and now this season has given me a way to express my love for the C's!

Bleed Green! Celtic Pride!

I will be back to my normal style game notes tonight.

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 ...
