Cs at Sacramento, Fearless Brown will play!

No Morris-tweaked ankle-saw that coming today,

So he can face the Suns on our Back to Back.

“My mom said no more dunking”Fearless Brown said;

“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?

Fouls are not called for Baynes (four) enough!

McCarty, div. 1, Evansville Coach, for him, home.

Off to CELEBRATE OUR Cs...end of this poem ;)

CELTCS HOORAH!

🏀 ☘️

CELTICS OK...SEE??

Thunder at the Gahden, a nor’easter is arrivin’;

Still undermanned, for wins we are strivin’.

Smart’s out 6-8 weeks, but what’s worrying me

Is Kyrie getting a second opinion on the screws in his knee.

Horford, great passer! Morris! OKC 8-0 run.

Horford, Brewer, FLA 04-07, Coach Donovan knows each one.

Tatum, hard to the rim! Rozier! Baynes! Horford, foul two.

Our D is good, need more offense to come through.

Watching (sigh): Fearless Brown, Marcus Smart and Kyrie.

OKC, 13-2 run. Tatum, D! TATUM FOR THREE!

“Sparkin!” Ojeleye! Cs within 8 end Q1.

Cs, ball movement! Monroe! Tatum, block! More. Fun.

NADER FOR THREE! Horford! Monroe! Tatum! Cs, D!

Morris!  Gotta stay inbounds! (quiet) HORFORD FOR THREE!

More Tatum! HORFORD FOR THREE! TATUM FOR THREE!

Cs, 11-2 run. TBTues. Horford block on Brewer cool to see.

🏀 ☘️

THE NOT SO BIG EASY

Cs at the Pelicans, Horford does well on AD;

In the League Rondo the only remaining ‘08 C.

Messin’ with rotations next 13 games says Brad,

Because of the injuries/setbacks we’ve had.

Horford! Tatum! ROZIER FOR THREE! 

Cs, 8-0 run! Awful calls on Baynes-agree?

Between starts-yikes-Okafor (disc), out five years.

Til Pels score, crowd stands and cheers.

Rondo can still pass. Tatum! Baynes, huge-great D!

Pels, 8-2 run. Rozier, steal! TATUM FOR THREE! 

MORRIS FOR THREE! Gentry says AD calls not right-

Cost him $15,000; bet the refs do “better” tonight.

Monroe, steal! Horford, block! Set your sights:

Pels-all at home, first ever-five games in six nights.

On 42% shooting (vs 38), Cs up 8 start Q2!

Calm Tatum! NADER FOR THREE! Guys coming thru!

Baynes, foul three-his verticality big part of his D!

Opponents bounce off him, that’s all the refs see.

Ray Allen, his book, excerpts negative about Rondo alone;

Rondo said probably for money, should’ve asked for a loan 😂

Pels, 11-4 run, we taught E’twaun Moore all he knows-

MORRIS FOR THREE! Any direction AD goes....

Tatum stepping up! Cs, few assists. Cs up 3 start Q3!

TATUM FOR THREE! Baynes, foul four. Tough to stop AD.

Pels, lead. Brad wants our Guys to attack the rim.

An aside: Moore wears 55, that’s when we picked him ;)

Rozier, phew! Cs, tough Q. Chemistry, Rozier and Monroe!

“SPARKIN” FOR THREE! Cs better when pace isn’t slow.

Sparkin! Horford! Tatum! Nader! Cs within 6 end Q3.

Horford, block! Nader knocked down on a three-Gentry, T.

Nader missed four FTs in a row-

Never seen that before; it’s a FREE throw.

Nader, steal! Clock down, OJELEYE FOR THREE!

Pels playing for playoffs, for Gentry, you can see.

Pels, crazy run. Pels, bench. Morris! Huh? Morris, T?

Pels, 17-5 run. Both ends, not real is AD.

Morris! Rondo was Rondo. NADER FOR THREE!

Gentry keeps his job. No more rhymes for what I see....

(still) CELTICS HOORAH!

TIMBERRRwolves

Cs at the Wolves, Kyrie, in, minutes restriction (knee).

Cs, great ball movement! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Smart, smart, All Heart and Grit! MORRIS FOR THREE!

Fearless Brown, coast to coast, terrible hard fall had he.

Silence. Stretcher. Hope he’s ok. Terrifying as could be.

He got up without the stretcher, on his own, locker room-

So scary-neck? back? Hope no concussion. Gloom....

Rozier! All still shaken seeing Fearless Brown on the floor.

On 47% shooting, Cs up 12 start Q4!

Wolves, from Q3, on a 9-0 run.

Jamal Crawford is here, still getting it done.

Diving Smart, D! Smart’s doing it all-all over the floor!

Wolves energetic. ROZIER FOR THREE! Needed his score!

Bodies flyin’! Tatum! Monroe! Theis! Long rest, Kyrie.

Fearless Brown to local hospital to be sure ok is he.

Kyrie! Kyrie! HORFORD FOR THREE! Kyrie!

ROZIER FOR THREE! Horford, scoop! Ojeleye, D!

Wolves’ Bjelica career night. Horford to the rim, from Kyrie!

Bjelica fouled out. Smart, D! Thru the game got better at his FT!

CELTICS WON BY 8! Clinched! Better on the road than home!

PRAYERS UP FOR JAYLEN BROWN** is how I’ll end this poem....

CELTICS HOORAH! 

🏀 ☘️

**concussion protocol, hopefully that is all

WINNA-BULL!

Cs in Chicago, no Kyrie (again), sore knee.

Will Smart start? Rozier? It’s “SPARKIN” *** we’ll see!

Makes sense. Brad likes the Bench the way it is

(At rotations-and ATOs-Coach Brad is a whiz)!

*** I like “Sparkin.”

Think it fits Larkin ;)

Horford is struggling with...Horford since the ASB.

Rockets game was his worst. Other games Cs had D!

Fearless Brown first score! Tatum, Horford, aggressive!

TATUM FOR THREE! Tatum, coast to coast impressive.

Same for Fearless Brown! “SPARKIN” FOR THREE!

Horford, block! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Horford, steal! Bulls 7-0 run. HORFORD FOR THREE!

Bulls have no Lopez-“personal issues” has he.

Smart, smart! SMART FOR THREE! Cs up 19 end Q1!

58% (vs 32) shooting, no missed FTs got it done!

Monroe! Theis, block! Bulls 5+ minutes no score.

Cs had Monroe, Morris, Theis-3 Bigs on the floor!

Tatum! Morris! Horford! Theis! Crazy score!

Horford quieting criticism both ends of the floor!

On 52 % shooting (vs 28), all FTs! Cs up 26 start Q3!

Sparkin hustle, steal! TATUM FOR THREE! 

SPARKIN FOR THREE! Sparkin to Baynes, score!

Horford, Cs, flyin’ up and down the floor!

Sparkin, steal! SPARKIN FOR THREE! 

Sparkin Pass &/or Score! SMART FOR THREE! 

Smart, gymnastic move! Some comic relief!

(sad to see the Bulls, kinda tanking, no belief).

ROZIER FOR THREE! MORRIS FOR THREE!

Bulls, just Valentine, Markkanen. Cs up 33 end Q3!

ROZIER FOR THREE! Monroe! Morris! Bulls, run ;)

ROZIER FOR THREE! Nader! Brad’s combos are fun!

Not really this close, BY 16 CELTICS WON!

The Chicago Bulls-and this rhyme-are done!

Props to Kobe for his “Dear Basketball” Oscar win-

We’ve a front row seat: his Post-BBall Life does begin.

CELTICS HOORAH!

Bench, great job! Cs up 2 end Q1!

Monroe! Rozier! Tatum to Morris, done! Fun!

Except for anything to do with Harden, geez,

Morris! Smart drew CP3’s foul 3, and T!

Harden, Refs vs Cs. Fearless Brown, foul 3.

Dancing Kyrie! Wow! MORRIS FOR THREE!

ROZIER FOR THREE! Horford! Ariza, through our D.

Rozier, rainbow! Smart, smart, no crazy three!

Jump Ball: every Rocket touched it, Cs great D!

Quiet Kyrie. Bench, half the work. Cs up 6 start Q3!

Cs, pace, 54% shooting (vs 48), defending the three!

Kyrie! Fearless Brown, foul 4?? Followed by a T

Should’ve been offensive on Harden from what I see.

Fearless Brown frustrated miss-Baynes to the hoop!

Gotta admire the chemistry of our entire Cs Group!

CP3, foul 4. Baynes drew from Harden, foul 2! 

Kyrie! Tatum! Who knew what Ariza could do?

Morris followed Mbah a Moute, from behind, Morris T?

Rockets, lead. Announcers thrilled. KYRIE FOR THREE!

Smart! Mad Brad (laughing)-T? Monroe! Smart!

Game would be better without the refs’ awful part.

Brad ATO (great): Monroe! Cs up 3 end Q3!

Smart to Monroe! Smart hurt, finally sat down did he.

Fearless Brown! Workin’ on Smart’s knee.

MORRIS FOR THREE! MORRIS FOR THREE!

Monroe can pass! Tatum! Morris, slam!

Harden always wants the call-wah wah-ham

MORRIS FOR THREE! Engaged-in or not-every C!

Smart, in, phew! Cs, aggressive! ROZIER FOR THREE!

Cs, no TOs, not fouling! Still fairly quiet Kyrie.

Horford! Rockets, lead. Ariza, 2 steals has he!?

Horford on the ground, called time out did he,

Needless to say, no refs did see.

Rockets, 12-2 run. Kyrie! Kyrie couldn’t miss his FT!

Back to back (missed rim) icky mistakes by Kyrie ;)

2.8 seconds left. Rockets up 2,

Competitive game, I am (Green) blue.

Smart, almost. OUCH....

CELTICS HOORAH!
