"THE ONLY SOURCE OF KNOWLEDGE IS EXPERIENCE." Albert Einstein

It is easy to know the theme of this poem:
Tonight, in Boston, it is win or go home!
Sixers defense to start? They were all over Ray, 
As Bass and Pierce took the ball away!

Cs, early, went on a 10-2 run, 
Led by Bass and Pierce to begin Q1.
Two fouls on Stiemsma one minute in, 
Fouls for Sixers, not Cs, did begin.

Rondo, two fouls, on the bench with KG,
Pietrus a loud dunk, hooray for MP.
20-20 to start Q2,
Dooling showing what he can do!

Rondo hard to the hoop…steal…hoop, 
He is surely the engine that drives this group.
Hawes fell on the ground, into Bass he rolled, 
Called a foul on Hawes, that ref was bold.

For both the Sixers and the Cs a low scoring affair, 
KG missed a lay up, Captain Pierce, are you there?
Iguodala with a very loud dunk, 
Cs relying on KG to bring in the funk!

Bass with a steal, then coast to coast, 
Points in the half, he has the most.
Cs a 7-0 run to end Q2,
An 8 point Cs lead when the half was through.

Despite Ray’s misses, the Cs stay alive, 
On Pierce and KG, and Rondo’s drive!
Three for Holiday, the Cs lead is six, 
Sure wish Ray could get in the mix.

7-0 run by the Sixers, Turner stepped over Bass, 
On making something of that, Cs and refs took a pass.
Another 7-0 run by the Sixers, can’t believe what we see.
KG at the buzzer, Cs up 3 end Q3.

Doc says clean up the turnovers throughout Q4,
Makes it way too easy for the Sixers to score. 
9:48 left in the Q what did we see?
Crowd went crazy—RAY ALLEN FOR THREE!

5:51 left in Q4 RAY ALLEN FOR THREE, 
Followed by the fifth and sixth fouls on Captain P.
Rondo’s three was a two, under three minutes to go, 
Rondo really for three, he’s putting on a show!

One thing this game 7 in Boston did teach, 
Cs’s experience paved the road all the way to South Beach!
