OH, FOR THE WONDER THAT BUBBLES INTO MY SOUL.” ~D.H. Lawrence


**Not a good sign-lost a lot of this rhyme,
oh, well. Tryin’ to shake it off just this one time.**
Kemba, Tatum, Theis, Hayward, Brown, start.
SMART (“Freedom”) FOR THREE! Still All Heart! 

Brown(“Liberation”)! vs Bucks, 1st time this year.
Cs running! Brown! Cs, 11-3 run! More comfy here.
Tatum (“Black Lives Matter”), steal! Giannis, FTs ;(
Got a little better (D?), still off, within 8 end Q1, Cs.

Making the most of his minutes, KEMBA FOR THREE!
Kemba➡️Smart! Smart, coast to coast off great D!
Theis(“Black Lives Matter”)Tatum!Theis from Smart!
Bucks, 13-2 run. Hayward! Refs vs Theis from start.

So. Smart. 100th career game: W’Maker (“Enough”)!
He leads the NBA in FTs! Cs not yet up to snuff.
Smart got an arm stinger (Giannis) AND the call!
BROWN FOR THREE! Cs’ play, spurts and stall.

From down 2-17, Cs within 6 start Q3.
THEIS FOR THREE! BROWN FOR THREE!
Hayward➡️Brown, jam! Brown, foul 5.
Tatum, some whining, little luck with his drive.

Hayward, $ mid-range! KEMBA FOR THREE!
Oh, Q2, Smart took one in his...usual, playing D!
HOLY THEIS! Refs brutal on him. 
Still feels like pick up ball in the gym.

SMART, tip, D....TIE! brief lead: SMART FOR THREE!
Tatum’s 1 for 11 on a Q1 tip, not even by a C 😱
Heard me, I guess-Tatum! TIE end Q3!
Kanter (“Freedom”)!Tatum, stop the whining we see.

SMART FOR THREE! W’Maker! Block, Theis!
Length of the court, Hayward➡️W’Maker-nice!
BROWN FOR THREE! $ Hayward! Twice! Money
Cs, no goal tend?? Giannis, no carry call? Not funny.

Ojeleye (“Love Us”)! Foul on Giannis, 5! Cs Ball!
Brown! Theis took one/Giannis. No hostile act, no call.
Theis! Tie! Giannis, offensive foul drawn by...Smart?
Umm, nope. Some wonky rule. Brown doin’ his part!

Calls caused huge swings in this game, not for any C.
Q’tine’s hard all around, but this we shouldn’t see.
Theis! refs. rust. Cs within 7 end Q4.
Do you feel exhausted but ready for more?
CELTICS HOORAH!
