No Ray as of a half hour before the game,
It's Love vs Garnett, they share a first name.
Bradley steal, Stiemsma block, Dooling for three, three,
Rondo 7 Q1 assists, the Assist King is he.
Cs up 11 to start Q2,
Love starting to show what he can do.
An aside: good health wishes to a guy we miss,
Had his heart surgery, Wilcox, that's Chris.
Bradley's playing good D, to the hoop he can cut,
Leaving any opponent to just say, "...What?"
Brad Miller on the Bulls was kind of a crier,
Surprise, he's with the Wolves, he did not yet retire.
Rondo 10 assists in the half, just so you know,
He has double digit assists 12 games in a row.
KG started in Minnesota, dumped him, he was old,
The rest of that story is still being told.
Cs good ball movement, end Q2, up 11--nice!
At the Wolves halftime show was that Vanilla Ice?
Q3 Rondo to KG, stunning alley-oop,
Pierce struggled briefly to get the ball in the hoop.
Active are Pierce, Rondo, KG and Bass,
Bradley runs ahead of Rondo to receive the pass.
Bass a monster dunk, Pierce finding his shot,
Great instincts around the hoop The Captain's got.
Bass, Rondo, Stiemsma great, Dooling good D,
Cs up 12 at the end of Q3.
Q4 KG dunked hard, his message was sent,
Loved the Wolves fans but he is glad he went!
Bradley had a steal, Cs fans had to laugh,
It was one of the highlights of the second half.
Ridiculous fouls on Stiemsma, you want to shout,
Sixth foul on Stiemsa, of the game he was out.
Cs played well--with energy and heart,
Bench and starters all did their part.
The Wolves, the old Muskies, were on their home floor.
(KG 24 and 10), 100-79 Cs, the score.

"JAZZ IS A FEELING, MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE." Enos Payne
No Ray tonight, did shoot around , no go,
Didn't look right at 4:30, he's a no-show.
Slow start for both teams, finally Rondo and KG,
Harris for the Jazz, then Pierce for three.
Jefferson's played poorly against Cs since he left,
In games, 0 for 8, in shooting not deft.
Low scoring Q1, Cs start Q2 down three,
Bradley, Sasha, Dooling,Stiemsma, KG.
KG took a huge charge, he can do no wrong,
Stiemsma on the boards, good blocks, he's strong.
Dooling and Pavlovic are showing their stuff,
Stiemsma--a charge from (Do Me No) Favors, he's tough.
Hollins on Jefferson 5:09 left in Q2,
Fun to see what Bradley and Bass can do!
The Truth, The Captain, a huge fallaway,
Hollins a dunk, then a dunk, starting to play.
Jazz played Rondo for the pass, he split the D,
Smooth move by Pierce, back to back shots KG.
Q3 Cs 5 for 5, Rondo what a pass,
Then Cs 6 for 6 on a great shot by Bass!
Jefferson was a Celtic, he didn't want to go,
He summers in Boston, says "you never know."
Cs' 18 point lead got down to 10,
Hayward scored 15, not sure when.
Cs stopped being aggressive, no one went to the hoop,
Jazz narrowed the lead against the bench group.
The Cs are ice cold, their jump shots won't score.
The 18 point lead went down to 4.
The Cs start Q4 with a 5 point lead,
Dooling's threes, Bradley to the hoop, is what Cs need.
Good steal Dooling, no foul called, he's on the floor,
(Cheap) 5th foul on Stiemsma allowed the Jazz to score.
Turns out it is Pavlovic we are lucky to have,
Scored a three tonight like when he was a Cav.
KG and Jefferson--double tech was the call.
Seems silly in Big Boy basketball.
Jazz careless with the ball, under two to go,
23 points for KG, Assist King Rond-o.
Tied with Philly, Atlantic Division lead (no jinx)--hah.
As the Cs beat the Jazz, the team from Utah.
Didn't look right at 4:30, he's a no-show.
Slow start for both teams, finally Rondo and KG,
Harris for the Jazz, then Pierce for three.
Jefferson's played poorly against Cs since he left,
In games, 0 for 8, in shooting not deft.

"JUST PLAY, HAVE FUN, ENJOY THE GAME," Michael Jordan
Havlicek was drafted 50 years ago today,
(An aside before the Bobcats and Cs play).
'Melo and "LinSanity," the Knicks were on fire,
Bulging disc like last year, out indefinitely, Stoudemire.
Doc: "KG most reluctant offensive superstar I've...seen,"
Number Five plays the five with skills so keen.
KG and the Cs, back to back, please no fatigue,
Bobcats have Biyombo (19), youngest in the league.
Bradley can cut all over the place,
Then shoot a three or dunk in your face.
Coach Paul Silas--with the Cs--3 titles he won,
Bobcats' Henderson is the old Cs' Henderson's son.
Q1 KG was tough, along with Bass, Pierce, Rondo,
Stiemsma came in, GoldiBlocks I am (cheap rhyme) fond o'.
End Q1 Dooling for three, Rondo to Hollins alley-oop,
With Stiemsma's great blocking, 18 point lead Cs group.
Early Q2, Walker, Mullens--Cs lead cut to five,
As Doc tries to figure what rotations will thrive.
Bobcats' Williams, White and bench having a good night,
Halftime Cs up 2--18 point lead gone, what a fright!
Bradley rebounded--hard to the hoop--scored--free throw,
He doesn't just play D, good offense he can show.
Maggette on Pierce, he was starting to unravel,
His first field goal attempt (Q3) ended with a travel.
The game got chippy, the refs messed up Q3,
3:31 left, Pierce got a rest, in came KG.
Cs start Q4 up 7, hope no more funk,
Aaaah, the beauty of KG's monster dunk!
5th foul on Bradley, immediate make up call,
Walker's hard foul on Pierce, they both did fall.
Cs season high free throws attempted, early Q4,
Dooling playing good defense on the floor.
Pierce is a warrior, 36 points had he,
Bass rebounds, Rondo's assists, 24points for KG.
This Cs win (by 7) the team a boost it will give,
As they tie the Sixers to lead the Atlantic Div.

VI-ERS
Esperons que vous etes bien, Mickael,
In other words, we hope you are well.
With a sore ankle, RAY took himself out tonight,
Of Ryan Hollins may get our first sight.
Long road trip wins/losses the Cs did weather,
Two weeks away bball pulled them together.
Pietrus can't replace Ray's points, but better D,
Solid start for Pierce, Bass and KG.
Led by Pierce's threes, Cs a 12-3 run,
Bass rebounding and scoring, lit up Q1.
At the end of Q 1 Sixers were in the mix,
Hard work Bradley, KG, Cs up by six.
32 points for the Cs, that is the most,
Against the Sixers on the road or as host.
Q2 Pietrus is active, to the hoop no three junk,
Then Pietrus, "Air France" with a monster dunk.
Suddenly loud cheering from the crowd so still,
In came part owners, the Smiths, Jada and Will.
Q2 Sixers took over, Cs couldn't make a shot,
Stretcher for Pietrus for the hard foul he got.
A frightening moment, KG was at his side,
Sasha and Marquis prayerful, some Cs fans cried.
Shooting free throws for Pietrus, Hollins' first night,
Doug Collins makes the choice, that doesn't seem right.
While the Cs kept playing well, albeit sadly,
Limping into the locker room went Avery Bradley.
The Cs started Q3 with a 6 point lead,
Control of their emotions is what they will need.
Rondo to KG--alley-oop.
Gotta admire the spirit of this Cs group.
Sixers went on a 17-0 run in Q3,
Cs shaky but at least Marquis we did see.
No Cs rebounds, plus turnovers galore,
Down by 14 to start Q4.
You can see the Cs have lost their steam,
As they try to play with a decimated team.
Competing tonight maybe didn't do their part,
But you can never question this team's heart.
Sixers released confetti at the end of this game,
After the Pietrus injury, they should feel nothing but shame.
In other words, we hope you are well.

BUCK-ING THE TREND
RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, Milwaukee used to be home,
Ball rolled around the rim--to start this poem.
Rondo with the continuation, free throw he did "getta,"
Love the old time reffing by Dick Bavetta.
Look around the arena, seats aren't filled yet,
Because Wisconsin's in the NCAA, so is Marquette.
Rookies get respect from refs, not so fast,
First it's shooters--big men (Stiemsma) are last.
Cs have a new Big Man, for which we've been cryin'
Wilcox has been waived, for Hollins--that's Ryan.
After this season, Doc wants KG to stay,
Says it will all depend on if he still wants to play.
Cs start Q2--six points is the lead,
Each team moving up the floor with tremendous speed.
They call Pietrus "Air France," like tonight shooting threes,
Bucks' Dunleavy's shooting has been tough for the Cs.
Play up and down is what the Bucks like to do,
Cs staying with 'em but at the half Bucks up two.
Q3 Gooden taken out, Skiles didn't like the scene,
When on Delfino, his teammate, Gooden set a screen.
Stiemsma is from Randolph, 80 miles away,
Population 1800 may all be here today.
Both teams' defense stepped up, changed the pace,
End Q3 Cs up three in this very quiet place.
Mbahamoute is aggressive, gotta love his name,
Cs applying more pressure(Rondo!) Q4 of this game.
Bradley, Bass and Dooling are running the court,
Unlike guys in Q1, of breath they're not short.
Bucks' Jennings keeps being forced to take a late three,
Dooling, KG, Pietrus scoring, Bradley great D.
Bradley did well, pushing hard coast to coast.
Of his steals and blocks homeboy Stiemsma can boast.
Cs bench the Bucks' bench were able to outscore,
Jennings traveled, and traveled--Doc a tech in Q4!
Pierce was aggressive, had a great night it would seem,
While Jennings tried to prove to Ellis Bucks are still his team.
Bucks' six game win streak has come to an end,
As the Cs did their best "buck-ing the trend!"
Ball rolled around the rim--to start this poem.
Rondo with the continuation, free throw he did "getta,"

LET US PREY
Cs in Atlanta, The Hawks, where Doc got his start,
As a player, before commentating, and his Coaching part.
Trying to write intelligently but I can't fool ya,
Just love saying the name "Zaza Pachulia."
Josh Smith makes a shot, then keeps on shooting,
Throughout the game, figuratively, his own horn he'll be tooting.
Q1 Cs missing shots but they'll come into their own,
6,000 miles of road trip, now they're in their time zone.
6 years, $119 million, 10th in the league--Ivan? No,
It's the Johnson drafted by the Cs, in 2001--Joe.
Q2 Stiemsma's got a sore foot, but Doc goes with him,
KG is very active, finding his rhythm.
Cs need a big by Friday (to be in playoffs)--a missing piece,
JO season (career?)-ending surgery, don't know about 'Quis.
Low scoring game, Hawks have Stackhouse and TMac,
Along with our vets, this game is a throwback!
Of the Cs 31 halftime points, 16 Rondo and KG,
Low scoring half, Hawks up two at 33.
Q3 lots of shoving between Josh Smith and Ray,
Good news for Cs, rebounds fairly even today.
Flagrant foul on Bass, came down hard on Zaza'z head,
Halfway through Q3 can't remember when the Cs led,
Joe Johnson fouled Pietrus hard, not sure why,
Teague--jawing caused a tech--that guy can fly.
Almost two thirds of the game we had to see,
Before we were treated to RAY ALLEN FOR THREE.
Then to end Q3, with 1.2 on the clock,
RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, drawn up by Doc?
Q4 Cs are playing Celtic Ball,
But the game keeps stopping on each ridiculous call.
Pierce has five fouls, Bass is playing good D,
(Here it comes) RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, FOR THREE.
Cs 33-11 run from some time in Q3,
Ray, Pierce, Pietrus heroes, same Bass, Rondo, KG.
The Cs are aggressive, confused by what they are hearing,
A good portion of the crowd for the Cs are cheering.
Then the Hawks went on an 11-0 run,
1:02 left, this game isn't done.
Doc waves his hand in a circle, means "run your stuff,"
Cs withstand a Hawks run, win by 3, just enough.
As a player, before commentating, and his Coaching part.
