CELTICS...cRANKy

Cavs at the Gahden, not great second of back to back;
Cs, after days of days of rest, good solid wins we lack.
Crowder (elbow) is in, stomach is better, AB.
T. Thompson's out (thumb), 447 straight games had he.

Al Horford won the Red Auerbach Award--
Welcome to Boston, Al, first "prize" you scored!
Green Team's in Green (not white); glad not gray;
The tip-off (not the early rebounds) went the Cs' way.

On the cover of Slam Magazine, a proud IT!
Brad, mad, early timeout; CROWDER FOR THREE!
(No Zeller, personal). AB on Irving, great D! More D!
Flopping, whiny LeBaby....Amir! IT FOR THREE! 

Horford! IT in the paint!
Where our other Cs ain't.
On 38% shooting (vs 26), Cs up 1 start Q2!
LeBaby cryin', Olynyk rebounding. Cs Bench, boo hoo.

Jefferson, alone. Cavs, I mean LeBaby, a 24-4 run. 
Green, great D! Crowder, dunk--a little more fun!
HORFORD FOR THREE! "Lucky" we have IT!
For grading Olynyk's shorts, foul on a disbelievin' LeBaby.

Cs (awful Bench) vs. LeBaby, Cs within 15 start Q3.
Crowder, 3 fouls. Amir! CROWDER FOR THREE!
Cs waaaay outrebounded, one of problems galore.
TOs, porous D, few Cs aggressive on the floor.

Amir! IT! AB, D! 3rd foul, Irving, on Amir's D!
Expected the Cavs offense, but not their D.
IT keeps getting pounded, LeBaby keeps whinin'--
With all his skills, that's "character" definin'!

Cs Bench? Just Olynyk. Fearless Brown scored, at last.
OLYNYK FOR THREE! All that rest, Cs look gassed ;(
Mumbling to himself all night is Marcus Smart, 
As his offense doesn't cooperate, his D falls apart.

Can hardly do the math, Cs within 24 end Q3.
Jerebko! Jefferson...again? phew, SMART FOR THREE!
Cs missing free throws. Looking a little draggy is AB.
Fearless Brown, block! Olynyk! Good strip, IT.

23 point Cavs lead, Brad put The Bench in. 
4:37 left. Why's LeBaby playin'? They got the the win.
Games like this happen, let's take a step back:
Too much to list, what tonight's Cs lack.

As Brad always says, "One game at a time."
Hawks tomorrow (better, no rest). I'm out of rhyme....
