OK...C US RISE!

Celtics at Thunder, we won’t see Aron Baynes,

He’s still racin’ guys off the bus, that’s how he trains ;)

Kyrie, Cs first score! Brown, block. OKC not missin’-

Cs too nice to each other; the rim the ball’s kissing’.

Tatum! Horford, jump hook! Morris, quick foul 2.

That kind of night: three tries for what Horford can do.

Smart, smart! Horford! Others sloppy. Morris, foul 3.

Rozier, Theis, Smart energy-SOMEONE play like a C!

Tatum, jam! Cs, 10-3 run, Cs within 6 end Q1.

Smart to Theis! Smart, scoop? How’s that done? 😉

Some Kyrie-still seems out of bball shape, slow.

Tatum worked out with (idol) Kobe, it does show.

Horford, block! Cs struggling with the three and the FT.

On 32% shooting (vs 40), Cs within 16 start Q3.

0-11 for the game, HAYWARD FOR THREE!

Tatum, jam! Brown, D! 2nd: KYRIE FOR THREE!

1st: Brown! KYRIE FOR THREE! Westbrook, foul 4.

Horford! Hayward needs rhythm. TATUM FOR THREE!

Brad says we’ll feel better when shots fall for each C.

HORFORD FOR THREE! HORFORD FOR THREE!

WOW! HORFORD FOR THREE! MORRIS FOR THREE!

MORRIS FOR THREE! Rozier, steal...TIE!

Cs, 19-5 run! Smart called trainer-WHY?

Morris! First Lead! NINE THREES! Cs up 1 start Q4!

Tatum! Smart, jammed thumb, can return to the floor.

Morris, block! Rozier, block! MORRIS FOR THREE!

Ojeleye! Foul calls? Brad more angry than we see! T ;)

Teams shooting woes, trying. Cs, 4 + min. no score.

OKC 15-6 run. Cs, zone. Bodies all over the floor.

Morris! Kyrie! Tatum! Westbrook, foul 5. Tatum, FTs!

Kyrie! Tie! Tough night, Westbrook-some D, Cs!

Double Double, Morris! MORRIS FOR THREE!

Q3, 4, Cs exposed the shooting weaknesses of OKC.

"WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO DO OR SAY.” ~Darryl Dawkins (Orlando, FL Native)

Magic at the Gahden, no Baynes tonight-

Brad hopes short term-his hammie is not right ;(

Horford, first score-FTs! Can’t make a shot, every C

(til) HAYWARD FOR THREE! HAYWARD FOR THREE!

Fearless Brown to Horford, alley-oop!

Horford! Morris! No rhythm in our Cs Group.

Kyrie seems out of shape, not quite basketball ready.

Smart, smart, steal! Cs chemistry’s off, still unsteady.

Putting the D in Dabusele 😂...ROZIER FOR THREE!

Cs within 7 end Q1, nothing pretty to see.

Rozier (phew)! Theis, Smart (of course) D! 

Tatum to Theis, alley-oop! Ojeleye, hustle, Big D!

Theis,

Nice!

Kyrie! Tatum! Odd calls-Hayward, foul three.

Morris! KYRIE FOR THREE! HORFORD FOR THREE!

Kyrie! Ugh, Magic(al) threes. Morris (with a sore knee)!

Williams, in. Cs, ball movement! SMART FOR THREE!

Kyrie-in better shape ;) HAYWARD FOR THREE!

Still not pretty, (somehow) Cs within 5 end Q3.

Smart! Theis, Smart, D! Magic, quick fouls, four.

Love. Theis. Tatum! Cs everywhere-cannot score ;(

Kyrie! Horford! Many Cs’ names this poem does lack.

(Brown will have to earn his “Fearless” moniker back).

Kyrie! Ok...FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Horford! Kyrie! Two three attempts...Cs within 3.

My eyeballs hurt, so does my heart.

Cs had no magic from the start....

CELTICS HOORAH!

“EVERYONE NEEDS A CHANCE TO EVOLVE” ~Jay Z (Native New Yorker)

Cs at Knicks, starters: Baynes, Horford, Kyrie,

Brown, Tatum. No Hayward, not ready for a B2B.

Cs arrived at 3am. Kyrie grew up (NJ) 12 miles away. Knicks’ Porzingis, Mudiay and Lee won’t play.

Baynes! New rule: can’t use hands to create space.

Kyrie, Steal! Steal! Baynes again! Cs, great pace!

BAYNES FOR THREE! Kyrie, D! TATUM FOR THREE!

HORFORD FOR THREE! HORFORD FOR THREE!

Horford, Tatum rebounds! Knox, rook, hurt shin-

Foul on Rozier? New Headband when he came in!

TATUM FOR THREE! Smart, steal! Cs up 13 end Q1!

Knicks-Trier, Vonleh, Hezonja- 10-0 run. 

H’banded Rozier coast to coast! ...coast to coast!

Talk about Tatum-love Kobe comparisons the most!

Tatum! ROZIER FOR THREE! Baynes pulled up lame,

Grabbed his hammie, right off the court he came.

Knicks 7-0 run. MORRIS SR FOR THREE!

Fearless Brown cutting! Tatum, calm as can be.

Cs passive, Knicks, no quit. Cs (still) up 2 end Q2!

Baynes, out ;(  Horford, foul 4. Smart all over the floor!

Dabusele! Smart, smart D! Tie after tie....

Aggressive Kyrie (better)? Morris, T-sigh.

Morris! Smart! Tatum! Block, Theis!

Cs up 7 start Q4-better energy would be nice!

Morris! Theis! MORRIS FOR THREE! 

Knicks, 10-1 run. Active (triple-teamed) Kyrie!

Cs, 7-0 run! Kanter fouled out (iffy). 

Cs grab a lead, Knicks catch up in a jiffy.

Cs, fumble, fumble...Tatum! +Chill Tatum, fallaway!

1.9 left, Tatum fouled Burke, shooting 3-Ks, go away!

BY TWO CELTICS WON,

Glad this game is done!

CELTICS HOORAH!

OH IT’S KAWHI-IN’ TIME AGAIN...(sorry, Ray Charles) 😰

Celtics at Rapts, starting: Brown, Horford, Kyrie,

Kyrie, steal! Tatum! My eyeballs are sore,

Watching both Teams flyin’ all over the floor ;)

Rozier! Kyrie! Athletic Fearless Brown, foul two.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Amped up Horford...phew!

Refs, tight (and new) calls. Baynes! Cs, D!

HORFORD FOR THREE! Cs, TOs. Kyrie, foul three. Hayward pull up jumpers! HAYWARD FOR THREE! 

Rapts 46% FG, Cs 43; Cs within 3 start Q4.

Cs, FT woes. Vintage Kyrie! Cs running the floor!

Hayward! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! 

Vanvleet, Ibaka yikes. Too much Kawhi for me.

MORRIS FOR THREE! Kyrie! Cs, physical D! HORFORD FOR THREE! Too much Kyle Lowry.

Rapts 12-2 run broken up by Kyrie.

Horford near trip dub. We have a Rivalry! 

Upside? Last year Cs lost here by average, 18;

In a while within 12 is the best showing we’ve seen.

Cs are WON and one.

CELTICS HOORAH!

“EXPRESS YOURSELF...EXPRESS YOURSELF...COME ON AND DO IT...” ~N.W.A.

[old school beat box 🎶]

IT’S THE 2018-19 CELTICS SEASON!

For this rap that is the reason!

Sixers at the Gahden, Cs Starters, B.W.A.,

Let’s Go Celtics, Let’s Go Celtics-(Fans) Lead The Way! BOOM!

Cs, 7-0 run! Rozier, Block! Tatum, steal! Cs, D!

Smart to Horford! MORRIS SR FOR THREE!

Embiid, Simmons, tough. SMART FOR THREE!

Horford! Rozier! Tatum made Covington take a knee ;)

Looking flat, not fully engaged, 0 for 8, Kyrie (?)

Stars on both Teams, Cs up 5 start Q3!

Hayward, minutes limit. Horford, Wow! Wow!

Get Kyrie going? Free Throws, that’s how?

BAYNES FOR THREE!  (shaky?) KYRIE FOR THREE!

Embiid Sandwich: between Horford, Baynes was he.

Tatum, jam! Sixers, 10-0 run. Tatum! More!

Hayward! Cs, TOs. Forgot, Covington can score.

HOLY TATUM! Morris Sr! Cs up 11 end Q3!

(workin’ to re-earn) FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Great Job, Mate: BAYNES FOR THREE! 

A thing of beauty: Baynes to a cutting Kyrie!

Early Q4, Baynes, Fearless Brown, fouls four.

MORRIS SR FOR THREE! Crowd ROAR:

Strong Over Embiid, Fearless Brown!

Best Part-FB’s wicked stare down!

Tatum over Embiid! Tatum stare down!

Horford, Block 5! Cs movin’ the ball around.

ROZIER FOR THREE! HAYWARD FOR THREE!

Wanamaker-chose Cs-29 year old rookie is he.

(Geno) By 18 Cs won,

Intense and Fun!

Cs can ride all day

With our B.W.A.

CELTICS HOORAH!

CELTICS...CAVALIER ATTITUDE (sigh)

Cavs at the Gahden, with a lot to prove:

They can play in spite of LeBaby’s move.

No Kyrie (rest). Rough Q1,

Cs within 13. Not fun.

Hayward, great passing! Impressive Ojeleye!

Smart, smart! Crowd just starting to “play!”

Smart, serious jam! Brad’s rotations need rhythm.

Crazy calls on Theis-are the refs messin’ with him?

Hmm, Brad trying no PG. 

No Cs have made a three.

Rozier, rebounds! Cs moving the ball-

But into the basket it will not fall.

Still don’t love Love. Fearless Brown! Tatum! 

Calls against the Cs-just like Tommy, hate ‘em ;)

We’re cheering their misses, our fouls we replay;

Cs within 19 end Q2. Pre-Season, still gotta play.

Rozier! Baynes! FIRST: SMART FOR THREE!

“Dabusele” is tough 💪 MORRIS FOR THREE!

Morris! Ball movement! Baynes! Cs, D! 

Clarkson’s annoying. MORRIS FOR THREE!

Smart! Ojeleye, steal! Wanamaker, score-

Weird to see Rondo’s number on the floor.

SMART FOR THREE! Ojeleye, steal.

Cs within 15 end Q3, game feels unreal....

Athletic Williams, Lemon aggressive-

(latter sounds funny), both guys impressive.

For tonight, at least, SOMEONE TELL OUR Cs,

NO MORE THREES...please.

ROBERSON (!) FOR THREE! Also in, King-

Brad’s testing everyone, that’s his thing!

No fouls for “Dabusele?” Block, into Row Eight!

Bench is cheering! His Energy is great!

More Williams! Lemon! Cavs first game pre-season-

They were engaged 4Qs. Hope that’s the reason.

Williams, block: “Nope!” Lemon, steal!

Lemon getting banged up, that he’ll feel.

Cs within 7, what did we learn?

Williams and Lemon, respect did earn.

Cs got help from unexpected Guys.

Starters were awful-Cavs we’re a surprise.

(still) CELTICS HOORAH!
