Super Ball Sunday, a conference game in the east,
Celtics against the Magic with Dwight Howard, the beast, 
First half he played well, led all players with 22,
Celtics up 3 at the half, what more could he do?

Howard got poked in the face, Baby fell hard on his head,
Then Marquis was scary hurt, a neck injury they said.
The game was chippy, for Howard tech one four
Turkoglu shoved KG hard, he went flying to the floor.

Pierce started strong in the second half,
Howard got Rondo in the thigh not the calf.
Howard 0-5 in the third, free throws two,
That's what great Celtics defense can do.

Cs defense was still intense in quarter four,
That made it hard for the Magic to score.
Bodies were flying, aaah, that dunk by Pierce,
A sight to behold, these Cs are fierce.

Rondo had it going, whether assist or drive,
He kept the Celtics' enthusiasm alive.
Howard finally scored with a minute left,
He couldn't help his team despite his heft!

When Ray shoots the ball, he is smooth as silk, 
There have never been many players-ever-of his ilk.
These poems always end the same way,
Ray is now just 4 away!

One more thing at the end of this piece,
Think good thoughts for our Marquis.
