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!"
