Its almost here

By

 


     It's almost time for the start of the regular season... While some people have low expectations for this Celtics team I expect them to win 50 plus games, make the playoffs and possibly make some noise. JT will now become an even better player than he's been. He's in his prime and will elevate this roster around him. I've been impressed with his growth each and every year. I feel he can be a top five MVP candidate. He should be fully healthy and ready to rock the NBA. 

     I expect Derrick White and Payton Pritchard to take leaps as well. Both suit JTs game and play very well off him. Derrick is a kinda jack of trades player that makes so many game winning plays each game. Pritch should be a guy off the bench that carries the offensive bulk. I'm really excited to see the 3 headed monster in Robinson, Queta, and Garza. Each offer their uniqueness to the team. Robinson if healthy will be a huge difference maker on the floor. I find the depth for the center position to be a strength. 

     Expect a huge leap from Hugo this kid has something special on both ends of the floor. He's very savvy for such a young player. I think Ron Harper Jr will play significantly more minutes and contribute really well to this year's team. Kid has that dawg in him, and will show it on every play. Baylor will need to continue his growth and be an asset for Tatum when he handles the rock. Baylor is a guy who won't back down from anyone and I love it.  

     Crazy to me that the Celtics play at 3 pm on a Tuesday for opening night... listen NBA you aren't the NFL. I bet you lose viewers with such an early start. I will be working but will find a way to watch given my deep Celtic Pride and love for the game of basketball. Cs will need to be locked in tomorrow defensively. If they do that I envision good things happening. Detriot is no slouch but it's going to be an incredible game. Go Cs! 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 ...
