(NOT SO) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KG

An important note before discussing more games, 
NBA players wear nerdy glasses—many glassless frames!
Working with Mike and Tommy, Scalabrine—still a tool,
But when it comes to basketball knowledge, he’s no fool.
Last game, first in 80 postseason, no three attempt Ray,
Tonight Cs need to involve him more often in the play.
15 seconds in, The Truth for two, then for three,
32nd basket of the series for bday boy KG.
Two early fouls on Hawes, credit Pierce, took the charge,
Cs an 18-3 start, they are all playing large.
Rondo good pass to a cutting “how’s his knee Pierce,”
Bradley and Rondo great D, ALL the Cs are fierce.
Cs started the game on a 14-0 run,
Up 12 is how they ended Q1.
Q2 Cs go cold, when Rondo’s off the floor,
Too many turnovers, not enough score.
Iguodala missed a loud dunk, Bradley great D,
Early fouls on Cs—saving the day, Pierce for three!
Cs great ball movement, Ray hard to the hoop,
Pietrus for three, but too many fouls Cs group.
5 seconds left in the half, Rondo coast to coast,
All of the Sixers crowd is booing their host.
Cs up 15 to start Q3,
Bradley’s shoulder popped out, arm around him KG.
Personal foul on KG turned into a tech,
Personal foul on Brand, same thing, what the heck?
Young to Iguodala alley-oop,
For three minutes Q3 no score either group.
Fouls piling up for the Cs, Sixers a 10-0 run,
Brand and Williams starting to get it done.
Pierce for three!! Hollins great D,
Techs all around, not much score from KG.
Sixers first threes came Q3, there were two,
7 minutes no Cs scored, they forgot what to do.
15 point halftime lead was down to four,
By the end of Q3 Sixers the only ones to score.
Early Q4—at 63 a tie,
18 point lead gone, fouls and turnovers, that’s why.
Cs turnovers, Sixers turnovers, but Sixers take the lead,
4:51 drought, Pierce’s 3 point play the Cs need.
Each possession, a tie, then a new lead we’d see,
Blocks by KG, then RAY ALLEN FOR THREE.
Iguodala answered, Sixers went up nine,
A win for the Celtics? No, they seemed to decline.
I am all for women getting sportscasting work,
Please, ESPN, no more (nonstop talking) Doris Burke.
