C's look to Pace Themselves


Overtime...

     C's have forced overtime after trailing by 24 points. Hali opens the scoring with a three. Kudos to Queta who has been giving everything he has tonight. DWhite ties the game with a three of his own! Never underestimate the heart of a champion. C's trail by one with about two minutes to go. JT aggressively attacks the rim and gets the call. Misses the first and hits the second. Tie game...

     Queta has been amazing on the glass! Saving the C's multiple possessions! PP with a chance to tie this game at the line. Ice in his veins! C's grab the board with a chance to grab the lead! DWhite to the cup and there's a goaltend! He's freaking CLUTCH! Now it's time to exhibit that championship defense here. Pacers with the rock down by two. Siakim ties the game, C's call a timeout. C's have plenty of options out here, expect some type of pick and roll or pick and pop. Well Siakim hits the shot that wins the game. Great fight by the C's tonight. They need to regroup and grab the next two games in Charlotte. 

      We can take a lot of good out of tonight's game. Sometimes a loss is a coachable moment. My guess is Joe uses this to get the fellas to lock in. Not to say they weren't locked in tonight, but a loss is needed every now and again. With that said I don't want to see anymore for a while. Go win these two in Charlotte and start up a new win streak. 

Celtic Pride in a win or lose!

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 ...
