June 11th 1826 Irish born Argentine admiral William Brown lead the Argentine people to victory (one of many) in Los Pozos combat against the Brazilian empire in La Plata river.
Born in county Mayo, Brown is so important in Argentine history. He’s commonly known as the father of the Argentine Navy and considered one of Argentina's national heroes as he also played a big part in the war of independence against the Spanish empire.
The Wolfe Tones dedicated a song to this patriot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDgO6NIXe0A

Commonly called the Father of the Argentinian navy, he once captured but released a man called Guissepe Garibaldi in an engagement against the Uruguayans in 1842. This man would later become instrumental in the unification of Italy 20 years later.
The results are in for Match 7.
Espiritu was not okay. It had gone dark, and he was no longer certain what was going on around him. It was hard to stand, and he was hot and hurting, and the crowd and the calls of the content creator after every play were noise to him, in the Necropolis he had tried to make. He knew there were seconds left, now, and did not even know what was to happen.
So, into the void, he began to call out with his Stand.
“This is a waste of time!”
Hurt.
“You have been rash, and done no good, and you care even less than I do!”
He trembled, barely able to stand.
“You say you are preparing me, but you have done nothing but hurt! Nothing but take! You have manipulated some child to play with lives! You, foolish… You don’t even mean to give her what you promised in the end, do you? Only another liar, who thinks I need another problem, and has become one.”
Bang said nothing, wherever he was. Espiritu had hoped he was far away. The young man had been fighting relentlessly and calling it a lesson. If it was a joke, it only made the jaguar want to cry.
“Manipulated..? Is… Is this me?” Nebula spoke from her screens, whatever she saw clearly giving her pause, then.
“This is your stage. Your egoism. Your lie to harm and call it kindness.” The Stand’s voice was faltering, flickering.
Then, Nebula’s pep returned with a snap. “Oh, hey, look at that, folks and five-year-olds, it’s TIME!”
Airhorns blared, then, and Espiritu recoiled once more.
“Of course, you probably have working eyes if you’re watching this, so I don’t need to tell you who has the key! What a show, am I right?” Nebula said, some forcedness to her cheer.
I don’t care… I don’t care who won. This… This was a waste. Let it be someone else’s. Someone who is not doomed to fail… I… I simply wish to live. Is that too much to ask?
Espiritu gave a final anguished roar before, finally, the pain he had sustained had become too much. His legs gave out, and he collapsed on the steps of City Hall.
The winner is Espiritu del Alocatlal, with a score of 72 to Bang “Boogie” Bronson’s 71!

I think this really captures how bad the Celtics are suffering from injuries at the moment. Their 1 loss with this starting 5 was the game that Williams fouled out against Philadelphia, where he only played 14 minutes.
If you want to extend this to every game they’ve played in together when Theis was the starter, it’s 15 games total, and in the majority of those Rob Williams was not playing the majority of minutes at the center position. Two of them were Kemba coming back from surgery where he was not playing 100%, and two were with Smart coming off the bench where he was coming back from his injury.
You could make the case that the only bad loss when all 5 of these guys play and are healthy was the Sacramento game in Boston. Otherwise their only losses are to Philadelphia and Milwaukee, two of the top teams in the league.
In the 15 games they’ve all played, they only allow 108.1 PPG and have a net rating of +5.1. When healthy, I do believe they’re still one of the best teams in the league. Fournier being the 6th man is not only necessary for bench scoring, but their bench is extremely thin and can’t afford their starters to be missing time, since beyond him and Thompson, they are relying on rookies and guys who should not see significant minutes.
When fully healthy, and in the playoffs where rotations shorten to 8-9 guys, they can hide their depth problem like they’ve been unable to do in the regular season.
Hoping they don’t rush Brown back and screw themselves over in the playoffs even if that means having to get in through the play-in.
Who says no?
The narrative that Ainge can’t draft that a lot of ignorant fools spew is ridiculous and how he prefers “undersized guards” among other things. Those 5 picks above are a strong playoff rotation. While Rob fell to us at 27 plus Smart was BPA every other pick at the time was either graded as a big reach (Rozier) or a slight reach (Brown/Tatum). Sadly Terry is no longer here but he is blossoming in Charlotte. Ainge has some flaws but the draft isn’t one.
Stop rushing to judge young lotto prospects like Nesmith and Romeo until we give them time to develop too. I’m fine including them in the right package of course but let’s not claim either is a bust or anything yet.
