KNICKLED AND DIMED

Rondo made his mark, hard push in Q1,
14 points, career high, he must have had fun.
Then in came our bench, thought they'd help--maybe,
That reminds me--what is wrong with Big Baby?

First half Ray for three, but total shots just four,
That's no way to handle our guy who can score?
Rondo was 7 of 12, Pierce mostly missed,
If Rondo has tons of shots, then he's low in assists.

The ball has to move, to Pierce, KG and Ray,
No Stoudemire, no Billups, Cs must lead the way,
In defense first, then scoring, let's go, 
Let us not stand for the "'Melo Show."

Pierce heated up Q3 to start,
'Melo has to defend The Truth who's all heart.
Ray Allen for three, Ray Allen for three,
Aaaaah, always a beautiful sight to see.

At last Jeff Green scores, a lovely three,
Maybe now we know why he came from OKC.
It's the Cs vs. 'Melo, he's alone on the court,
He's got rebounds, and baskets and shots just short.

Fifth foul on Jeff Green, Doc takes it up with the ref,
At least no tech, as the ref played deaf.
Q4 'Melo alone brings the Knicks within two,
Two successive fouls for the hooking he likes to do.

Halfway through Q4 the game is tied,
As 'Melo made his run, I am sure the fans cried.
Turiaf, then Rondo, then KG, then 'Melo,
With so little help, he is quite a fellow.

Rondo is doing it all, highest score in playoffs ever,
He can run, he can shoot, our PG is very clever.
KG is hustling, falling on the ground,
For both teams in these playoffs a new gear is found.

"Let me cover 'Melo..." was KG's cry
"I've got him..." said Pierce, Doc says he's my guy.
KG head's up play, "... time out, time out,"
"Celtics ball, Celtics ball" the refs did shout.

When will this end?? Still it must be said, 
Of Reggie Ray is now 59 ahead.
