CELTICS AND BLAZERS ABLAZE (hint: 😰)

Portland at The Gahden, Evan Turner's back;
McCollum, Lillard (Turner, too), talent do not lack.
Second highest scorer in the League is IT--
Disappointed (not surprised) All Star starter he won't be ;(

Cs--flu--without Jerebko, Zeller, Jackson, plus AB.
For Dec., NBA Cares award (community service), IT!
Aggressive Horford (phew)! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Wow! Leading the League in scoring, in Q1, is he.

On cue, CROWDER FOR THREE! Horford! Hoop!
CROWDER FOR THREE! Smart, steal! D, Cs group!
Seven NBA players, Boston area up they grew--
Four on the Blazers, each other as kids they knew.

Horford, block! Horford, hustle, coast-to-coast--
Seems that awful Knicks loss bothered him most.
Mickey! Olynyk's flyin' (really)! Smart, steal! D!
Cs up 2 start Q2 (grateful for Crowder and his three)!

Three quick fouls Lillard. Olynyk, hustle, good D!
Blazers' Leonard, 7'1. Jerky muscle flexing does he.
Bad calls on Olynyk. Rozier on McCollum, tough D!
Dribbling, fumbling, dribbling...how does he do it, IT!

Fearless Brown! Rozier! Dimples are showing, IT!
His love of the game a thing of beauty to see ;)
Third foul on Plumlee. SMART FOR THREE!
An inspired IT! HORFORD FOR THREE!

"What's that?" when decked by Leonard, asked IT ;)
In spite of McCollum, Cs up 9 start Q3!
Ugh, Lillard (fouls) is back. Haven't mentioned Amir.
Crowder, steal! Now I remember when Turner was here.

Blazers, 11-2 run. Tie. Olynyk! IT FOR THREE!
Cs, TOs. Blazers lead. Adorable, the Dad of IT!
Blazers 22-5 run. Crowder! Rozier! Smart! More D!
ROZIER FOR THREE! Cs within 2, rough Q3.

Mickey, rebound, leap, dunk! Tie! Olynyk, foul four??
NBA needs at least one Canadian ref on the floor ;)
Turner's on IT. Leonard hasn't missed a three.
Missed 6 of 7 games, walking boot for AB.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Vonleh fouled out. Amir, score!
Been a factor but first points came mid-Q4!
Turner--yikes--(Crowder foul) hit Crowder in the face!
Turner: "I'm not that kind of guy." Crazy place!

IT FOR THREE! How-Does-He-Do-It, IT?
Cs frantic ball movement! HORFORD FOR THREE!
Amir! Amir! Tie! Blazers, steals. Cs, rebounding.
Boos from the crowd on terrible calls, resounding.

McCollum, ouch! Steal? No...cheesy foul on Smart.
BOLD! ROZIER FOR THREE! Tie! Cs all Heart!
Smart, D! OVERTIME! 2 quick fouls on Amir. Really?
"What time is it?" asked IT's Dad ;) ...IT FOR THREE!

Cs TO, ouch. On Lillard, McCollum Cs need D!
Horford fouled out. Fans filed out. IT FOR THREE!
Cs within 4. Sad overtime.
Sick to my stomach. Out of rhyme....
