Its Time to go Green: No More McMansions

   Pratlaw states:  it is time to go green.  Just because you can afford a mansion doesn't mean buy one.  You need 2-3 thousand square feet even if you are married and have children.  You want quality, architectural detail not square footage.  Vehicles ~ hybrids or sport.  You are green, be green

Go With A Two Bedroom Condo and Then A Country Place At Home

  Pratlaw states:  How long are you going to be in your city?  You have to have a place there for home games and off season.  Get a condo with a secure door- doorman- and two bedrooms.  Are you running a boarding house/hotel/flophouse.  No if you made it to the next level the only way you are going to stay is to actually increase your efforts and that means stability, peace and quiet, a good diet and most importantly good rest and sleep.  Buy a retreat in your home town county, a hundred plus acres and a nice 3000 sq foot architecturally designed home with out building storage.  Hunt and fish for good eye sight and dexterity.  Put good old Uncle Bob in charge of your retreat.

The Black Mamba Is In A Class By Himself

Pratlaw states:  The Japanese Beef is in a league by himself.  The King is great in part because he is a locomotive in front of which no one is rightly going to sacrifice his body.  DW is a blur but plays in a pout.  Kobie is alone in his supremacy.  He is on a quest from which he never tires:  to be the best.  From this seat he has succeeded. I rank him with Russell; Frazier; Magic; Bird; Jordan; and the forgotten Cowens and Worm Rodman in terms of relentless in their quest to be the best they can be all the time, every play.  They are porsches playing among cadillacs and lincolns ~ after all every player at the next level is well above the average college player.

The Next Level Is All About Footwork!

Pratlaw states:  This guy moves his feet great.  Louis Amundson.  I want Glen Davis to work out with this guy.  Of course I want the both of them to be Hawks and start with Horford.  Glen:  if he had better footwork he wouldn't have caught one of DH's flying elbows [and why is DH allowed to let those wings fly like that anyway???].  Anyway you can't be caught flatfooted flopping in the paint.  Bill Russell to this day has the quickest feet of any big man I ever saw followed by ... Bill Walton ...Wes Unseld maybe ... Bill Cowan? ... Kareem Jabbar had good feet too.  I like how Perkins has come on for the Celtics this year.  He, RR and GD have obviously put in the off season work

RAJON RONDO IS A CELTIC TO REMEMBER

I remember Bob Cousey, a white blur who passed like he had played for the Harlem Globetrotters. Rondo passes like Cousey did. I remember John Havlicek. Nobody played with the energy Havlicek did, on the floor all the time, bird-dogging defense that angered his opponent, sacrificing his body all the time on offense and defense. Rondo plays with the same energy Havlicek committed to his game. I remember Dennis Johnson. Nobody ran a team and played defense like DJ and had the shot when needed to carry the team like DJ. Rondo runs his team with the same intelligence and energy DJ committed to the game. Today, May 9, 2010, RR had a game that is on par with any game any of these true Celtics and in this writers opinion, RR's game today was the best game I have ever seen a point guard play. The mantle that Steve Nash has worn for years has been passed. Rajon Rondo is the best point guard in the game today.
