HAWKING OUR WHERES


In a matinee today, the Atlanta Hawks are in town.
Their Horford--career second pec tear--just went down.
Because of the Nets deal Cs can get their draft slot,
Sully wants to win for Ainge. (no jinx) Expect him to be hot!

There's been lots of talk about Rondo playing D League,
Maybe? To further his rehab, conquer his game play fatigue.
Sully great rebounding, Bass great D, 
Green hard to the hoop, where he needs to be!

Cs went on a 6-0 run, 
Great--except the Hawks then had the same one.
Hump is playing D, excellent shooting, considerable spunk,
Green running the floor, love that one-handed dunk!

10th straight home game Cs lead--up 3--start Q2. 
LEE FOR THREE! STEAL! SCORE! is what he can do!
Olynyk, Wallace, Hump, Pressey keep the momentum going.
Cs a 17-1 run, hard running both ends, no slowing!

Cs' Bench a joy to watch, all hustle and heart,
Nice to see Hump and Lee being a huge part!
The Starters came back, they were very disjointed, 
Hawks a 15-2 run--cutting into leads, we're disappointed.

Lead was 18--ugh, but Cs up 5 start Q3,
Sully bruised his wrist. Bench may play more, Brad'll see.
Crawford keeps missing his shots from everywhere,
Hawks a Q3 lead, Cs' Starters' game's not there.

Early Q3 Brad gave the Starters one last chance to play,
Halfway through, can the Cs Bench save the day?
Hawks a 30-6 run, finally OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Crawford tied the game, lay-up! CRAWFORD FOR THREE!

AB to Olynyk, sort of an alley-oop, 
Cs a 19-8 run with the solid Bench group!
Cs somehow held on to a 5 point lead start Q4!
Two terrible calls by Davis allowed the Hawks easy score.

Our Big Man running the floor, OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Hump stops and shoots on a dime, so much fun to see!
OLYNYK FOR THREE!! A steal, career high, what a day!
Korver's 101st game in a row, three, record's still in play.

Hawks went on an 14-2 run,
LEE FOR THREE!! Is this fun?
Double double for Milsap, back and forth is the lead, 
Hump, Olynyk, Lee, Pressey--more of them the Cs need.

Clock running down, Inspector Gadget Crawford, what a shot!
Some Cs Bench players have double figures, the Starters do not.
End of the game--Crawford's crazy--all over the floor!
Did all that he could, he just couldn't score.

Hawks win by 1 (ouch), but be of good cheer,
Tomorrow is the start of a brand New Year!

Happy New Year, fellow Green-mates....
