“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!

START: Kyrie, Tatum, Hayward, Horford, Brown!

Nerves! Cs, missed layups. Fearless Brown! 

Horford, Block! Block! TATUM FOR THREE!

Hayward rehab: visualizing, and journaling is he.

Tatum! Fearless Brown! Cs, 15-3 run!

Horford, Block! Morris Sr! Horford, great start! FUN!

Sixers TOs. Rozier! Sixers 7-0 run. Tie, end Q1!

Hayward! Baynes! SMART FOR THREE! More Fun!

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!

🏀☘️

FIRST HOME

POEM:

Hornets tough,

Phew, not quite enough....

Hayward almost fouled out ;)

What’s the flopping about?

Shaky moments for a reason-

It’s the Pre-Season!!!

Everyone knows

About Brad’s ATOs!

Love These

Talented Cs!!!

CELTICS HOORAH!

🏀☘️

GOIN’ TO THE CHAPEL(hill) 🎶 🏀 ☘️

Cs at Hornets, Dean Smith center, pre season’s begun!

Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Horford-Line Up One.

346 days since together they did play;

Smart’s out-personal reasons-hope he’s okay.

Hornets, D. Travel calls. Kyrie, Cs first...second score!

FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! Cs running the floor!

Cs, D! HAYWARD!  Batum is Ba-tough!

KYRIE FOR THREE! 20 minutes each C, enough.

Tatum! Cs, 9-0 run! HOLY ROZIER! Excited for him!

Seems all the Cs worked extra hard in the gym.

Morris (intense!) added SR, this summer had a son!

FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! Off a P&R, done!

BAYNES FOR THREE! MORRIS SR FOR THREE! 

Cs 26-9 run, up 17 end Q1. FUN TO SEE!

Baynes, still big ;) Cs, cold-ish. Tatum! Cs, D! 

MORRIS SR FOR THREE! ROZIER FOR THREE!

(quiet) HORFORD FOR THREE! Hayward, foul two.

Confident Fearless Brown! Aggressive stuff he can do!

Shrewsbury has a cool beard! Cs up 15 start Q3! 

“If anyone fouls my husband I will find you😡”

~(hilarious) Robyn Hayward on IG.

(missed him) Theis!

Nice!

Calls on Cs? Rapidly. Hornets suddenly within 3.

HAYWARD FOR THREE! Cs in early penalty.

Morris SR agile. Weird (sad), Tony Parker is here.

More Cs fouls. Refs calls on our screens are clear.

Hornets, lead. Rob Williams in, 27th pick-

To no-more-than-20-minutes Brad will stick.

Rozier! Wanamaker, in-“old” rook

Brad’s rotations, ever changing look.

“Dabusele,” block! Yikes, Cs within 3 end Q3.

Wanamaker, steal, coast to coast! What will we see?

“Dabusele!” Ojeleye (great FTs)! Williams, steal!

Refs sending their message but calls are unreal.

Dozier, in-not to be confused with Rozier playing “D!”

“Dabusele,” steal! Ojeleye-bigger both seem to be!

Lemon (I forgot), in. Theis, blocks! Lemon to the rim!

Funny-off the “glass” we should find him?

Lemon, Hustle, new dance? I won’t do this forever-

Ojeleye, stop the threes! To the rim better endeavor.

Our NOT TEN starters played most of Half Two

(Mostly we saw what Hornets’ Bridges can do).

TEN Starters are a much better show-

Cs within 7, Guys will evolve and grow.

HOME...WORD!

Cs in Cleveland, GAME SIX! Cs need an extraordinary Q1,

Seize the moment, don’t fear it-remember to have FUN!

Brad says there’s power in being naive; in the moment, stay-

Baynes, start. Cs, tip! Rozier-Cs’ first score play!

FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! Both Teams, D!

Aggressive Fearless Brown! Tatum! Love, hurt is he?

Tatum, Love banged heads. Morris! Baynes, great D!

Smart, over his shoulder pass: FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!

Rozier! Horford! F. Brown! Cs in the paint! 

Love in the locker room, on the floor he still ain’t.

Great job offensively, Cs up 5 start Q2!

Smart, smart! SMART FOR THREE! J. Green, we see you.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Cavs, first lead. Cavs, 20-4 run.

Cs, TOs. Rozier, steal! ROZIER FOR THREE! More fun.

Morris! ...I’ve had enough Breen, Jackson and JVG.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Lebaby, all half. Cs within 11 start Q3.

Need Tatum, Horford to score! K. Love out all night-

Precaution. Ugh, no telling which Cavs will bring the fight.

Cs, TOs. Horford (phew)! Rozier! F. Brown, foul two.

JR’s a bum. Tatum (phew)! Cs have forgotten what to do 😰

FINALLY...TATUM FOR THREE! Morris! WHERE’S OUR D?

Rozier! MORRIS FOR THREE! ROZIER FOR THREE!

Rozier-Tatum, alley-oop! Tatum! Fearless Brown!

Cs, TOs. Monroe, in. Near end Q3 Lebaby’s first sit down.

MORRIS FOR THREE! ROZIER FOR THREE!

Yikes! From down 16, Cs within 10, end Q3.

Rozier, ankle, wincing. Fearless Brown, twice!

Smart, block! ROZIER FOR THREE! Nice!

Rozier, FTs! Nance fell on Lebaby’s knee-

Tatum was fouled-hard!-no call did we see??

Rozier! Horford, patient! LeBaby, looks gimpy to me-

Surely feeling no pain, (all game long) on a mission is he.

JR’s still a bum. Tatum, steal! Horford! Smart!

Smart, D! What a play! Cs’ FTs breakin’ my heart ;(

Fearless Brown attacking! Tatum! Cs fighting...maybe?

At the buzzer...from everywhere...gotta deal with LeBaby.

Going HOME,
