" IT AIN'T THE HEAT, IT'S THE HUMILITY," Yogi Berra

Q1 Miami kept stealing the ball, 
While the Cs couldn't play without a foul call.
Cs had a smaller line-up so they could score,
Silly fouls and turnovers--let's have no more!

Rondo jawed at the official and got a tech,
Like the Knicks 4th quarter, what the heck!
Then he started scoring and playing large,
As evidenced--from Chalmers he took a charge!

Eight turnovers for the Cs but a 12-4 run,
Cs down only three at the end of Q1.
Then so many turnovers to start Q2,
Doc took an early timeout to see what to do.

RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, RAY ALLEN FOR THREE
RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, RAY ALLEN FOR THREE,
15 Cs turnovers, to 23 points they led,
That's why at the half the Heat's 15 ahead.

Wade and Lebron, those guys can dunk,
While the Cs seem to be in a shooting funk.
RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, can it be enough?
Not while the Heat every shot they can stuff.

The Cs needed a change-up, to set a new tone, 
For the first time ever Doc's guys played zone!
The Heat had to think and change things a bit,
Q3? Cs down 8 at the end of it.

RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, his shots so fine, 
His career total? Twenty-five hundred sixty-nine!
Let's hear it for our new guy, Brandon Bass, 
Who has given us a presence on the offensive glass!

Is it my imagination or does it seem in Q4,
The game's about the refs, not the players any more?
In Q4 the biggest problem who plays for the Heat?
The rookie Cole whom we just did meet.

Tho' perhaps it wasn't Boston's best basketball night, 
You have to admire their "Truth-less" fight.
