Motor City

      Cs are in Detroit to take on the best in the East at least record wise... Cs have played them well this year but I'd to grab a victory tonight. JB and Cade have both balled out facing each other this season. Cs get us started with a Hauser corner bomb! JB gets inside and scores, gets hacked and no call. Both teams are trading blows early on and I'm loving it. JB is dominant from the midrange and should live there. Unless he's driving to drop the hammer on a defender. 

     Cs have come out giving the Pistons all they can handle. Cs must continue to protect the ball as they only average 12 turnovers a game. This Pistons team can get after it and create turnovers. It's a battle of wills tonight! Cs ball movement has been elite on a few of these offensive possessions. There's a beauty when the ball moves, like a jazz band in unison. We have some jostling between JB and Beef Stew. It's heading to a review I wish Bill Kennedy was Herr tonight. We have double techs at that point why bother... Let em play!

     Congrats to JB for being named an All Star starter, he truly deserves it. Detroit is throwing various defenders at him and he's cooking them all. He's at a Master level while the Pistons D hasn't even gotten their bachelor's degree. I feel tonight may come down to the last possession. These teams are so evenly matched, and it's shown in their previous 3 meetings. Tonight's game could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals. Imagine if JT is back I can see us winning that series and making a run for Banner 19. 

     Overall tonight we saw two heavyweights trading jabs and blows. It's unfortunate that we ended up taking the loss but we will bounce back next game. JB had a shot to win it but he missed. I'm OK with that especially because the regular season means nothing in the NBA. What matters is getting into the playoffs and doing some damage. Celtic Pride!

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  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

By
 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 ...
