The joy of breaking the record will be the same,
But Thursday against the Lakers Reggie's calling the game.
That would make the moment extra sweet,
Or how about Sunday against the Heat?
Doesn't matter when, we can wait,
This ride with Ray has been really great.

SOME 'CATS GOT IT....
SOME 'CATS GOT IT....
Delonte after the All-Star break, Shaq, too,
Oh, Semih, your thigh? What did you do?
Marquis, we know, bruised his spine,
Don't know if he'll play again, tho' they say he's fine.
Wafer, Baby, Harangody, Rondo, Paul,
Those guys from the bench had to answer the call.
With the help of a few starters in quarter one,
The game was tight but they got the job done.
Jackson got a tech, then another, he got tossed
He asked what he did-the fight with the ref he lost.
Wallace, Livingston, Henderson lit up the 'Cats' joint,
At the end of quarter two, the Cs by a point.
Nice moment for Wafer, he knocked down a three,
That's what he's known for, we've been waiting to see.
The score got close on an offensive move from Kwame,
As who looked on? Michael Jordan, his Swami?
Wallace's three gave the Bobcats a mid Q4 lead,
Organized Cs defense, then offense we did need.
Pierce took out Wallace, a hard foul was the call,
Then the Bobcats really started to play basketball.
Pierce drew the foul, under a minute to go,
The offense of the Bobcats' bench did not slow.
Though there were more Cs fans in the Bobcats' place,
There was a huge grin on Michael Jordan's face.
One statistic that won't be missed
Is when Ray breaks the record who'll have the assist?
You know these poems always end the same way,
From breaking Reggie's record Ray is 2 away!

ABRACADABRA
Super Ball Sunday, a conference game in the east,
Celtics against the Magic with Dwight Howard, the beast,
First half he played well, led all players with 22,
Celtics up 3 at the half, what more could he do?
Howard got poked in the face, Baby fell hard on his head,
Then Marquis was scary hurt, a neck injury they said.
The game was chippy, for Howard tech one four
Turkoglu shoved KG hard, he went flying to the floor.
Pierce started strong in the second half,
Howard got Rondo in the thigh not the calf.
Howard 0-5 in the third, free throws two,
That's what great Celtics defense can do.
Cs defense was still intense in quarter four,
That made it hard for the Magic to score.
Bodies were flying, aaah, that dunk by Pierce,
A sight to behold, these Cs are fierce.
Rondo had it going, whether assist or drive,
He kept the Celtics' enthusiasm alive.
Howard finally scored with a minute left,
He couldn't help his team despite his heft!
When Ray shoots the ball, he is smooth as silk,
There have never been many players-ever-of his ilk.
These poems always end the same way,
Ray is now just 4 away!
One more thing at the end of this piece,
Think good thoughts for our Marquis.

BIG D
Big "D" little "a" double "l" "a" "s"
From beginning to end this game was a mess.
I guess our defense hurt us the most,
Did we ever come back from the other coast.
There were moments of greatness, notably KG and
Perk,
Then Pierce, Allen, Rondo went to work.
Hard for visitors but the Mavs knocked down threes,
Jason Kidd at the end won the game--geez.
Ray played well, 9 for 18 for 24,
You can see how confident he feels on the floor,
But the Cs were just off, Rondo was slow,
In the last two minutes is when that did show.
KG got in trouble, the ref he did touch,
But only when the ref tried to subdue him too much.
First Frye in Phoenix, then tonight, we'll see,
Hope it's not time for a lesson with suspension for
KG.
Now a last word about the O'Neals--JO and Shaq,
Not sure when either guy will be back,
JO had knee surgery, 6 to 8 weeks
And Shaq has yet another of his hip tweaks.
On to the Magic, the Lakers, the Heat,
Three great games, get a front row seat!
These poems always end the same way,
Ray is now just 6 away.

THE ROYAL WE...
THE ROYAL WE....
The Cs were in Sacramento for their road trip game four,
Hoping only the Phoenix game would be the one that was
poor.
Sure enough they succeeded, they beat the Kings by
five,
But throughout the game the Kings were alive.
Turnovers for both teams were really tough,
Til the Celtics decided they had had enough.
They beat the Kings at the game off the glass,
And by the fourth quarter the ball they did pass.
The Kings' Cousins did well, they all played with heart,
They even had a lead after the Cs great start.
They have young guys who play hard, together, too,
That's what a young team has to do.
KG was pumped up, Pierce and Rondo played well,
The bench was off, early on you could tell.
The fourth quarter Cs had Rondo, Pierce, Allen, Perk
(He's the guy with the torn ACL who put in hard work).
Nate's energy was huge in the fourth toward the end,
We started passing the ball and decided to defend.
With this win tonight Doc gets the prize,
He'll coach the East All-Stars, that's no surprise.

KING ME....
It's the 36-11 Celtics vs. the 12-33 Kings,Here are a few important things:The Kings beat the Lakers, the Hornets the next night,They are on a roll and ready to fight.
Jan. 12, against the Cs, off the bench, Dalembert,Tonight in the starting line-up? He'll be there.Though the Kings lost that game, good minutes had he,For both offense and defense, he has shown he is key.
Evans and Thompson both have ankle sprains,Evans is back tonight, or so he maintains.DeMarcus Cousins ( love his name) really learnedTo be a major contributor in a spot he has earned.
On the other side, all dressed in Green,There's Kevin Garnett, a defensive machine.Pair him with Rondo, Shaq, Allen and Pierce,This is a championship team that is more than fierce.
Tonight at Arco when the buzzer does sound,Make sure to take a look around,At the men on this court, before their attack,Because both teams beat the Lakers-- back to back.
