“TOUGH TIMES DON’T LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.” ~A.C. Green, Portland Native, NBA 1985-2001

Celtics in Portland, first of road games, four.
No Fearless Brown. When will Kyrie be on the floor?
“Minimally invasive procedure,” little info in advance,
Kyrie? Smart? “So you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance?”

Nine teams eliminated from playoff contention-
How many do we see? Is tanking their intention?
Blazers rely on Nurkic, on him Baynes will be tough!
Baynes, first score! MORRIS FOR THREE! Good stuff!

Versatile, MORRIS FOR THREE! Baynes to Rozier!
Tatum! Horford! Blazers, 13-2 run, Cs struggling here.
ROZIER FOR THREE! Morris hobbling, ankle tweak?
Will Ainge and Scalabrine suit up this week?

Nader! Sparkin, D! “Dabusele!” Monroe!
Look at this Group making these Cs go!
On 53% shooting (vs 48), Cs within 3 end Q1.
Nader, hustle! Baynes! Morris’ ankle tape redone!

DABUSELE FOR THREE! MORRIS FOR THREE...four!
Monroe! Cs, 10-2 run! Morris all over the floor!
Hello, Tatum!? (Terrible call). HORFORD FOR THREE!
Blazers, mini-run. Cs Bench! Cs within 5 start Q3.

Rozier! Baynes! Lillard, McCollum are tough-
Fouls are not called for Baynes (four) enough!
Morris, rebounds! score! Monroe, inspired is he!
Cs, Bench! Cs within 10 end Q3.

Tatum, first score! SPARKIN FOR THREE!
Physical, chippy game. Sparkin! Calm is he.
Tatum! More Tatum! Sparkin! Energetic Cs!
Refs at it again-(finally) this Brad does not please.

MORRIS FOR THREE! Lead (brief). Rozier!
Apologies Nelly: “It’s getting hot in here.”(herre?)
Refs playing, too (boooo). HORFORD FOR THREE!
Aggressive Horford, block! ROZIER FOR THREE!

Rozier! Horford, block! Tatum! MORRIS FOR THREE!
Refs, again. Horford to Tatum! WHAT DID WE SEE?
Morris, 30 points! Cs Turnaround Q4! Cs ALIVE-
Blazers won last 18 of 20 home. Cs WON BY FIVE!

McCarty, div. 1, Evansville Coach, for him, home.
Off to CELEBRATE OUR Cs...end of this poem ;)

CELTCS HOORAH!
