Horford, steals! AMIR FOR THREE! Cs a 25-6 run!
CROWDER FOR THREE! Cs up 18 when Q1 was done!
Cs: ball movement, 65% shooting, steals, great D!
Jerebko, rebounds! Rozier, Fearless Brown, fun to see!
Jerebko, hook! Fearless Brown block! Olynyk, D,
Heat, TOs. Aggressive Smart! Wasting no time, IT!
From up 22, (great final play) Cs up 17 start Q3!
CROWDER FOR THREE! Cs too slow on D.
Cs must have more energy...AB FOR THREE!
Crowder, deflection, save! Dragic vs. AB.
Cs lead, single digits. Whiteside has elbows,
On Jerebko, then Olynyk--Flagrant One whistle blows.
Crowder, Olynyk steals! AB, D! Hit in the nose, AB.
Spoelstra, T. Yikes! Cs up 6 end Q3.
Zeller in. IT FOR THREE! IT FOR THREE!
Rozier, Jerebko, Horford, solid! Ugh, Dragic and his 3.
5 fouls, Jerebko. Horford, block! Bodies flyin'--
No Babies Allowed (NBA π), no one's cryin'!
IT, on an inbound--EJECTED! Flagrant TWO?
Wasn't intentional--cheesy--nothing Cs can do.
Without IT (Crowder hustle), Heat an 8-0 run.
HORFORD!! 'nough said, little fist pump, humble one.
Smart took a "tough hit"--wink--from Winslow's knee!
"Unnatural act"--took too long!--Winslow got a T.
AB, Crowder: Rock, Paper, Scissors, for the FT ;)
CELTICS WON BY 10! Great game (phew) if you're a C!
An Aside:
Best shooter on the road (15+ FGA) is AB,
Loves other teams' gyms, "...world's against me."
Tough time in the East, 1 1/2 games #3 to #10;
Except for Cavs, Raptors, East is jammed up again.
Against the Hornets (with IT!), a successful fight!
Of the next 5 games, on the road are four,
Better now than March, good training for our core.
Full squad! Love those pull up jumpers by AB!
Whiteside's big...didn't like a call, never back on D.
AB FOR THREE! IT FOR THREE!
IT fantastic passes! CROWDER FOR THREE!

NESTING AT HOME (Hornets at the Gahden)
When I go to the Game,
My poem's not the same!
There are cries,
Lows and Highs;
But when THE CELTICS WIN
Always a rhyming Grin π
Welcome back, Mr. Thomas:
You delivered, true to your promise!
CELTICS HOORAH!

THESE ROCKETS ARE OFFENSIVE!
Cs are in Houston, it'll be raining threes!
8 of 10 games on the road for our Cs.
Cousins, Barnes in a bar, got into a brawl--
Yes, please, to DeMarcus, craziness and all!
Rondo suspended, detrimental conduct last night--
Against the Mavs?? Rondo? Sounds about right!
Bulls say he's great, Butler acted like a friend.
Rondo (as always), one year contract--another end?
The trick will be keeping Harden off the line
(not whining) He gets so many calls hard to define.
Hmm, Jerebko, instead of Amir, tonight with the start.
In guarding Harden the Swede will have a part.
Horford, block! Crowder, hustle! IT FOR THREE!

IT lost his shoe! Rockets a 13-2 run.
Harden elbowed Smart! Not a 2? Flagrant One!
Crazy replay, out of bounds, Boston Ball!

SICK-sers
Cs are in Philly, hope there's momentum for Al!
(someone please--soon!--give grammar lessons to Scal).
No Embiid tonight, doesn't yet do back-to-back.
Horford on Okafor, no challenge will he lack.
Over the Sixers (no jinx), Cs have won eight straight.
Second game Horford's involved out of the gate!
Cs' start, not engaged, a dangerous way to play:
Something about every dog has its day....
News! Al, first guy ever: 4 3s, 6 blocks, 2 steals,
Makes Ainge look even greater at blockbuster deals!
Cs careless with the ball. Working the baseline is IT!
Sixers' Rodriguez shooting at will?? Who is he?

JUST IN THE KNICK OF...RHYME
Respect to our Veterans, a moment of silence tonight.
The (Army) Voices of Freedom Anthem was just right.
Knicks at the Gahden. Cs are quite small
Horford and Crowder still can't play bball.
Porzingis and Melo, the primary Knicks indeed.
Smart, Olynyk starting, good change the Cs need.
I forgot DRose (oops), Noah, and former C, Courtney Lee.
"...by committee" said Brad, our rebounding will be.
First score IT! IT FOR THREE! SMART FOR THREE!
KO, bun, no headband. SMART FOR THREE!
Horford may travel to Indy, Crowder will not--
Not until next Friday will Crowder have a shot.
Aggressive Smart! Hustle! Steal! Hustle! Steal! AB!
Knicks a 13-3 run. OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Fearless Brown, what a block! Athletic running the floor--
Do his throwback short shorts (TSS?) help him score?
Cs, from up 11, up 4 start Q2!
Rozier gets in the paint. Zeller knows what to do.
FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! Excellent D!
Knicks, European give 'n' go. AB FOR THREE!
T on Melo, 2nd T--tossed by Tony Brothers!
Terrible way for a "vet" Knick to lead the others.
Cs a 9-0 run! OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Hustle--Smart and Olynyk! IT FOR THREE!
IT FOR THREE! Forgot about Noah's weird FT.
IT had fun (23)! Cs up 10 start Q3!
Jump ball Porzingis, AB--Cs won the tip ;)
OLYNYK FOR THREE! AB coast-to-coast trip!
Knicks an 8-0 run. Steal, Smart! AB, D!
Smart, pass length of the court to a speedy AB!
My CSN video is gone, Mike and Tommy I can hear.
Phew! Back! IT loves to play (see dimples)! That's clear!
Jerebko, Fearless Brown, Rozier hustle! Noah a T!
A thing of beauty: steal from DRose by AB!
Cs are getting more calls (rare). Cs up 13 start Q4!
Fearless Brown a whirling dervish; he can score!
Solid job KO. Third Knick, Porzingis, a T.
Knicks 20+ TOs--20+ Cs steals I see ;)
Great hands Zeller. ROZIER FOR THREE!
Wow! Jennings tossed! Very quick double T!
Cs way more Free Throws, all night hard to the hoop--
Needs to be the hallmark of this year's Cs group!
Mickey. Young. Zeller dunk, Gino--a great night!
O'Quinn tossed Zeller. These teams want to fight!
Cs WON BY 28.
No more rhyme. That was great π

DC SHAKEUP REDUX
Cs at the Wizards, Olynyk's back tonight!
Not Horford--concussion protocol's still not right.
It'll be some time before we see (sprained ankle) Jae--
Won't rush back like last year, the playoffs to play.
For bumping a ref, Wall a $25,000 fine--
Surprised no suspension for stepping over that line.
Cs 2nd in assists; under 6'6 best rebounder is AB!
Wiz a 28-6 run, outrebounding every C.
Otto Porter? Suddenly he can do it all?
Halfway through Q1 Olynyk got the call.
Early Mickey! Three Cs to the floor!
Cs are flyin' around--little D, little score.
Yikes! Cs within 26 to start Q2.
Smart hard to the hoop! Amir contributing, too!
IT's never lost in this building. IT FOR THREE!
Cs a 15-7 run. Wiz a 7-0 run. AMIR FOR THREE!
Otto Porter? Really? AB FOR THREE!
Turnover! Steal! Score! Took a charge, AB!
Cs within 15 (was 26) start Q3.
Harder to play without rebounds, offense and D.
Beal went down awkwardly--back? Probably not.
Cleaning up on the boards Marcin Gortat.
SMART FOR THREE! Cs ball movement and D!
KO, rebounds! Wall: attack, inside out...talented is he.
Zeller. Always Solid. SMART FOR THREE!
SMART FOR THREE! SMART FOR THREE!
Wiz at the buzzer, ugh. Cs within 20 end Q3.
Second chance points--at last! AB FOR THREE!
JEREBKO FOR THREE! AB FOR THREE!
This season IT has 40+ more FTs than any C!
Heard Horford's doing better, need him back!
Crowder's heart and skills we seriously lack.
Wall with a hard takedown made Smart mad:
Flagrant Two, Wall ejected, two games in a row--so bad.
Smart missed the FTs but handled himself well.
Cs outrebounded, erratic D--the rest the stats will tell.
Jackson, Young in. Otto Porter? Career night had he.
Brown with some moves, he'll be a good C.
Is it the barometric pressure? Tough times in DC.
End: 25 points as close as the Cs would be.

SEASON 71, EPISODE 1
...starring Amir, Jae, Horford, IT, and AB
(Too bad no longer RJ Hunter we'll see).
We drafted Gerald Green, now he's back, like new;
He has a Shamrock cut into his hair--aerial view!
"To win a championship, this is the place for me,"
Said Al Horford! He is a quintessential C!
Arms crossed--united--like the '60-'61 Cs,
Nets' arms linked, no players taking knees....
Thank you, Fans...thank you (sweetly), said Marcus Smart
Who, unlike Rondo, spoke to US from his heart.
Cs great ball movement! HORFORD FOR THREE!
Nets' Bogdanovich alone scoring. CROWDER FOR THREE!
Jaylen, 6th man? AB FOR THREE! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Jaylen has ups, scary for the opponent to see!
Gotta love Amir! Jerebko and Green--what fun!

Hustling Jerebko! Green! Wow! GREEN FOR THREE!
Horford great blocks! Trips to the line for IT!

IT FOR THREE! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Lin keeps answering, annoying is he.
Crowder steal! IT off picks. IT FOR THREE!
IT, Crowder high scorers, Cs up 16 end Q3.
ROZIER FOR THREE! AB FOR THREE!
Scola smacked Amir, Jerebko (same play)--a punk is he.
Yikes, Nets went on a 15-2 run,
Cs forgot! Thought the game was done!
HOLY π! I must confess:
The end of this game was a painful mess!
The refs, the players...suddenly less fun.
Work to do! Cs up 5 when the agony was done!
(exc. closing Q4) Watching this game there's every reason
To think the Celtics will have a glorious season!
It's been years since we did see,
The Celtics (vs Bulls) lead off TNT!

He was knocked down first...of course Scola was near.
IT FOR THREE! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Lin keeps answering, annoying is he.
Crowder steal! IT off picks. IT FOR THREE!
IT, Crowder high scorers, Cs up 16 end Q3.
ROZIER FOR THREE! AB FOR THREE!
Scola smacked Amir, Jerebko (same play)--a punk is he.
Yikes, Nets went on a 15-2 run,
Cs forgot! Thought the game was done!
HOLY π! I must confess:
The end of this game was a painful mess!
The refs, the players...suddenly less fun.
Work to do! Cs up 5 when the agony was done!
(exc. closing Q4) Watching this game there's every reason
To think the Celtics will have a glorious season!
It's been years since we did see,
The Celtics (vs Bulls) lead off TNT!

JAZZ HANDS
No Mickey (shoulder), No JBrown (knee)--
6'9 Bentil, Yarou the tallest Cs we'll see.
Two 7-footers, one 6'10 for the Jazz
Who knows what Pleiss, Fofana or Lyles has?
Très bien, Yabusele, for either team first score.
Is it an optical illusion? Refs, there are...four?
Lyles is hot. Jazz a 9-0 run.
MILLER FOR THREE! Cs a 15-4 run.
Bentil! Thornton! All tied start Q2.
Some Cs made threes, I don't know who!
Brad is talking (great)! Many Cs new to me.
Rozier, 6'1, cuts and spins--fun to see!
Being cut by summer teams, by all, is feared.
Shirts say "Boston" not "Celtics"--that seems weird.
Cs within 3 to start Q3.
Cs 8-0 run on YOUNG FOR THREE!
Pinkston, Nader, (the other) Thornton, Walden, more,
Cs up 5 to start Q4.
BENTIL FOR THREE! Hard work every guy--
Trying to be on an NBA roster, that's why!
Jazz a 12-4 run, Rozier hanging tough.
Yabusele is big and can run well enough!
Cs great D, their bodies are everywhere--
Above the rim? Oui, Yabusele is there!
Rozier great ball handling! YOUNG FOR THREE!
Young's worked hard since '14 when he became a C.
Cs by 7, at the Kids we got a peek.
They all worked hard for this Cs' 2-0 Streak!

Cs UP (Sixers)
During the regular season--and tonight--it's clear:
Announcers can't distinguish between Hunter and Rozier.
Simmons vs JBrown, Number One vs Three--
Ben to the locker room, all too familiar for Phillie.
Summer League is the time for the Kids to play.
JBrown: "Next time, they might get out of the way."
Il y a de l'espoir pour Yabusele, we'll see.
Bet Jaylen Brown will play more like One than Three!
Thrilled with Horford, a Man with Heart.
Cs are a TEAM. He'll be a huge part!
As for Durant, on himself he did not bet--
He'll rely on the 73-9ers his first ring to get.
"Wow...Really...." Said Crowder. Best line goes to PP:
"If you can't beat um [sic], join um." (always a C)!
When the noise stops, Cs will be better than all right--
In the meantime we beat the Sixers by 8 tonight!

SLIP-LANTA
I tuned in--late ;(--during the Cs' 8-2 run!
Cs up 5 when Q1 was done!
There was SMART FOR THREE! SMART FOR THREE!
Rozier was good. More Olynyk we did see.
Hawks TOs. Struggling Sully. SULLY FOR THREE!
Turneround! Spin! Run at Korver (no three)!
Four minutes plus, the Hawks didn't score.
Second start Jerebko--been great on the floor!
Hawks two threes in a row, a 13-2 run.
Harlan and Reggie seem excited--that's not fun.
18 point swing, Cs tried a two-three zone,
Bazemore, Teague started winning all alone.
IT, NO POINTS!? Cs within 8 start Q3.
Phew! IT score! (announcers [Harlan] buggin' me)!
TURNEROUND FOR THREE! 3rd foul on IT.
Sully, best offense in a while, pretty good D.
Hawks an 18-1 run (again). Arguing calls are the Cs--
Refs aren't at fault for the Hawks making threes.
Cs 10 TOs Q3, more than field goals made.
Just what we need, Harlan and Miller throwing shade.
CROWDER FOR THREE! Hawks highest Q so far.
Cs within 27, for Q4 a high bar.
SchrΓΆder a Tech. Huh? Silly--for bothering IT.
What a rough game if you are a C.
IT tweaked his ankle, right to the locker room.
Hope he wanted out tonight. We can't take more gloom.
Oh, Young is still here. Hawks' Humphries, once of the Cs,
First minutes, playoffs, made consecutive threes.
They say a minor ankle sprain for IT
(I would have left, too, if I were he).
This loss is so tough, the math's too hard to do.
Shippin' Out To Boston π΅πΆ Best Fans/Crowd, it's true....
