Running - not walking in Memphis

C's are on the road against the Grizz, unfortunately we won't see Marcus Smart. Expect the C's to hopefully run these Grizz right outta the building!

1st Q 🏀

JB opens up the game with a two handed JAM, against the entire Memphis team! Man I love this Celtics press, kudos to Joe and his staff for implementing it. Our backcourt of White and Holiday should be called the Masters of Defense! This duo is the best defensive backcourt in all the league. Z is out here balling, on both ends of the floor. Not sure who got my reference in the title but there should be some! Tonight should be a game the C's win big. If they could grab this game and light up the Grizz they might be able to rest guys in the fourth. Especially with the back to back tomorrow night in Charlotte. Yet to my dismay we trail by one, come on guys wake up.

2nd Q 🏀🏀

C's are firing up plenty of bricks right now. Drive the rock and get inside. Post up JT and let the man do his thing. Pritchard finally gets on the board, follows it up with a nice pass to Al. I'd love to see this kid get on a hot streak. The talent is there, it's just about execution! Sam I am hit a pure corner three that was music to Celtics fans ears. Those two guys are key for regular season success. Hauser is lighting it up! BOOK IT! Love the new guys catch phrase. Reminds me of Gorman's Got It! Tatum getting inside and going to work as we close out the half. I've seen a change in play after that Joe timeout, on both ends of the floor. C's need to close out this half like they are the better team. These refs SUCK! I'm dumb founded by the C's allowing the Grizz to be in this game. C's lead at the half. By only three...

3rd Q 🏀🏀🏀

Time to come out and beat them into submission. Porzingis with the oop from JB! JT brings the house down with the hammer JAM! C's force the 24 second clock violation, gotta love it! These officials are terrible tonight so much so JB gets a T. At least make the calls fair and consistent. So far tonight the refs have been pro Memphis. I'm guessing some high profile betters want the Grizz to win. C's are having way too much trouble tonight. That doesn't bode well especially tomorrow vs another inferior opponent in Charlotte. Z with a HUGE BLOCK! Mr Rim Protector! This game feels like you went to the dentist and they pulled your tooth but it shattered into pieces in your gums. That's how painful the refs have made tonight's game. C's lead but it isn't pretty after the third. 

4th Q 🏀🏀🏀🏀

Game is a damn joke right now, as the C's lose the lead. Jrue Holiday making big plays to help the C's tie the game. C's force another shot clock violation and look to grab the lead. JT for the three and we grab the lead. C's really need to lock down and go on a run. C's take the D and turn it into a JT JAM! Holiday finds DWhite for a huge corner three! ANOTHER PHANTOM OFFENSIVE FOUL ON THE CS. WHAT A JOKE! BOGUS CALLS! ChanNeling my inner Tommy and hearing him yell at these officials. Eight offensive fouls is disgusting. What are we doing refs?! What an absolutely insane ending. C's get the rock on an offensive rebound up two. Tatum finds Holiday who misses a dunk... Down the floor Memphis for three a miss, rebound Grizz and Z saves the game as he blocks the last shot. My GOODNESS! 

CELTIC PRIDE! 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 ...
