Thoughts

By

 


     Thoughts from a sad Celtics fan here encompassing basketball. First I need to say that the Celtics collapse vs the Sixers was horrendous. Yet inevitable because they shed so many good player who made winning plays. I loved this roster but it was more suited for the regular season. In the playoffs everyone turned into pumpkins. Hey Billionaire Bill thanks for nothing. I don't know what the future holds for the Jays but this team needs more of an identity and not one that shoots threes. Would I trade JB yes and no, he's been such a joy to watch. Although he's crapped himself as well. If he's traded it needs to be for a culture guy like Kevin Garnett. It wasn't Doc Rivers who set that it was Kevin Freaking Garnett. Is Giannis that guy??? He may well be and I like his game and who he is as a player. Ideally I'd keep the Jays and trade for him as well. 

     How about that game last night with OKC and San Antonio! That is must watch basketball unlike the leastern conference Finals which start tonight. I see no joy in watching Brunson and Harden flopping all over the court. Wembys game last night was incredibly amazing. This young man has everything needed to be a champion and Hall of Famer. That Spurs roster is built so very well. I expect OKC to adjust and come out more prepared in game 2. That game last night was one of the best I've seen in years that's doesn't involve the Celtics or Michael Jordan. The one thing I fear is these incompetent refs ruining this series. We all know they will make sure the Knicks make the Finals. For as much as I adore basketball the NBA had their ways of fixing games and outcomes. 

     Cs have work to do and I trust Brad...

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 ...
