PASS THE BUCK(S)

Rondo's scheduled out; bad ankle, so no AB,
Whose shooting was off, limping you could see.
Pressey and Wallace getting the start.
Sully East Player of the Week, skill and heart!

Bucks: hold the Mayo (couldn't resist); BKnight alone.
No Ilyasova, Butler, Sanders--fractured orbital bone.
Bucks have won just nine games, that's all they could do.
Against the Celtics? That's where they got two!

Tough time of year, with the trade deadline looming,
It's hard on the players--Cs' front office is booming.
One thing about Bass has to make you love him:
He's smooth--for his kids he's learning to swim!

Only nine players tonight are dressed in Green,
Except for Sully, just jump shots we have seen.
An aggressive, athletic Green has come to play,
"Forceful Driver" Wallace scrappy in his usual way.

Worrying me a little is great playing by Bass.
Do you think on him Ainge will decide to pass?
WALLACE FOR THREE! Cs a 16-8 run,
Great play Bass! Cs up 2 at the end of Q1.

Giannis Anteokounmpo, easier to spell than say his name,
Bucks love him for energy, joy, great smile--and his game!
PRESSEY FOR THREE! With CJ, great give and go,
Skill of Henson and Wolters against the Cs does show.

PRESSEY FOR THREE! Green to the hoop--love to see!
On just 39% shooting, Cs up 3 start Q3.
Pressey was called for a trip(4th!)--he was ten feet away.
Wow! Definitely time for the refs to let the guys play.

Green looks so fluid, incredible body control,
Gotta love when he takes the ball to the hole!
Zaza has always been an irritant, he's the birthday boy.
Each time down the floor some cheesy physical ploy.

Off the bench a spark when in came CJ!
Brad is positive, encouraging when our guys play.
On (better) 43% shooting, Cs up 2 start Q4,
Green making shots from all over the floor!

OLYNYK FOR THREE! GREEN FOR THREE!
Three on one, Bayless, great charge we did see.
Unusual play for Olynyk--hard to the hoop, score!
Then that lefty hook, big man running the floor!

Tough for the short handed Bucks, Henson ankle sprain,
Came down on Zaza's foot, you could see his pain.
Pressey, Sully, Olynyk, one big highlight,
Or just Jeff Green--most of the night!

Two undermanned struggling teams fought to the finish,
Whether wins or losses the Cs heart doesn't diminish.
Third game in four nights, Cs-Bucks series evens,
Proud of the guys must be (Fans and) Coach Stevens.

Cs hustled, PRESSEY FOR THREE, Green at his peak!
Sully's 7th double double, Cs by 16...
ONE is the streak!
