WEARING OF THE GREEN

No Javale McGee, Nuggets awaiting his physical test, 
Back to back, high altitude, Cs must do their best.
It's Lawson vs Rondo, both to Oak Hill went, 
To the NBA a ton of guys (Melo, Beasley...) they've sent.

Sending birthday wishes Ainge's way, 
The only Celtic born on St. Pat's Day.
Fans in Green, not for the holiday, for the Cs group, 
Gotta love the energy--Rondo to Bradley alley-oop.

Consecutive Cs turnovers, seven points on three, 
Nuggets highest scoring in the league, we can see.
Doc said keep it simple when offense they play,
Marquis  came in and scored just that way!

Gallinari, Miller, these guys are tough, 
Faried, "Manimal," loves to rebound, do his own stuff.
20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 5,000 assists, a dream, 
KG is 3rd all-time behind Karl Malone and Kareem."

Cs start Q3 down by thirteen,
Some Cs defense must be seen.
In just 14 minutes Faried has a double double, 
In some ways he is the least of the Cs' trouble.

Call on Rondo by ref Foster, hmmm, homer check, 
Doc argued vehemently, earned himself a tech.
Second half little  progress made, one point, not great,
End Q3 Nuggets 80--Cs 68

Bradley great D to start Q4,
Plus he cranked up his offense, was able to score.
On the Cs team, there's been one missing piece, 
With his silky smooth game, happy to see Marquis.

Every time the Cs got within ten, 
They somehow turned the ball over again.
Suddenly the Cs went on a crazy run, 
Bass, KG, Rondo, and Pierce--6th foul, done.

Faried, the rookie, all night playing out of his mind, 
Gallinari took down KG, no flagrant did the refs find.
Once again, the refs were a factor, their calls were not great, 
At the end of the game, Cs 91-Nuggets 98.
