PACEless AND SPACEless
vs. Pacers: looked worse in person, however bad on TV.
Refs wouldn't make a call in favor of a C.
If they did, in the score it wouldn't show.
The Cs could hardly make a free throw.
If you feel bad and your spirit dips:
The Big Boy Mavs beat the Childish Clips!
The good news? The Cs were all bad at the same time.
(no jinx) We can only get better! So ends this rhyme.

CELTICS WIN IN MILWAUKEE--NOT DEBATABLE!
Third straight game (toe) without Marcus Smart,
Maybe Friday, vs. Atlanta, he'll do his part.
A "home court" for Crowder, he went to Marquette--
Will he unseat Doc and Wade as their best player yet?
Bucks an 8-0 run, very calm is Brad--
Finally Sully (off the great game he had)!
Monroe has range, the Greek IS a Freak,
Let's hope our Q1 TOs have reached their peak.
CROWDER FOR THREE! Sully's playing great D,
Good at both ends, "It's conditioning!" smirks he!
ET's getting involved each time the Cs score--
Good things happen with Jerebko on the floor.

RJ FOR THREE! RJ is rebounding, too.

SULLY FOR THREE! Cs a 7-0 run.
Cs up 4 when Q2 was done.
A thing of beauty, to Sully from ET.
Bruised lower left leg--out for the night is AB.
Longer than half court, ET made the shot!
He was fouled first, count it did not.
Remember Bayless? A hardworking guy....
Cs hustling, rebounding, Sully is why.
A struggling IT yelled at the rim!
Free throws went in--that worked for him.
JEREBKO FOR THREE! CROWDER FOR THREE!
The leading stealer in the NBA? Crowder is he!
Cs played some zone. Cs an 18-2 run.
Cs up 17 when Q3 was done!
RJ is clever. Keep your eyes on Lee!
Bucks' Middleton, Bayless can shoot the three.
Even with IT getting the start,
Cs Bench is impressive, doing its part!
A Rozier appearance, for himself RJ did well,
What rotations work? It is hard to tell!
Cs snapped the Bucks' win streak, by 16 they did--
I'm glad, not that crazy about Jason Kidd.
Maybe Friday, vs. Atlanta, he'll do his part.
A "home court" for Crowder, he went to Marquette--
Will he unseat Doc and Wade as their best player yet?
Bucks an 8-0 run, very calm is Brad--

The Spurs are in town, Coach Brad loves Pop.
