NO BRIDGE TOO FAR?


Call it tanking, rebuilding? Love a "Bridge Year!"
We fans bleed Green and are ready to cheer.
Maybe, just maybe, things will work out better, 
With Adams and Stevens, DEFENSE and a go-getter.

For coaches and players this year's  a win/win, 
There will be few expectations when the season does begin.
It is one big audition for players and coaches too,
Unlike with Doc, we'll see what the new/young guys can do!

Still with ever-changing rotations, chemistry will build, 
Rondo at the helm, we know he's strong-willed.
Humphries will earn his respect, Bogans has heart,
Along with Sully who will often start.

Second-longest tenured (Rondo 1st) is AB, 
Which Green, Bass and Crawford will we see?
Wallace, Lee, the only long-term contracts have they, 
Seems Fab might get cut--he is in his own way.

Olynyk makes more than Sully, but has great hair, 
Nowhere a mention of Wilcox--is he still there?
Still have Randolph, now Iverson (too bad NOT A), also Pressey, 
Think we got Faverani, negotiations seemed messy.

Expect to hear a lot about Brooks after every game, 
He is MarShon--what a great name!
Love the Bridge idea, let's just see where we are,
With draft pick assets, there'll be no Bridge Too Far.

Cs: THE DAY


July 12, 2013 will go down in history

To Celtics Fans this is no mystery.
For this will be the day Captain Pierce (DJ, JET) and KG
Became Brooklyn Nets, so painful to see.

Did Ainge do them both a favor? I say he did,
Allowing them to leave together, to join Rookie Coach Kidd.
Retool, Rebuild...all the playing "fields" this evens,
Captain Rondo, Green, AB, Bass (?), plus coach Stevens.

We are no longer tied to our Big Three--or Four,
Had the feeling since May Doc wasn't walking thru that door.
No more holding our collective breath with old guys out there,
Will they get hurt? Too many minutes? Oh, how we did care!

We'll still have Heart (Sully), small triumphs, of course, Celtic Pride,
We have Youth, Analytics, new faces--what a ride!
The Celtics new configuration? We don't have to pray,
All we have to do is Cs THE DAY!

We'll cheer for The Green no matter who's on the court, 
Because as Fans, WE still bleed Green--gotta love this sport.
