I GOT...S-S-STEAM HEAT

First time Heat's in the building since last March,
Green great, but game was won by the enemy arch.
Oden is out, doesn't play back to back,
With back spasms Lebaby Miami does lack.

GREEN FOR THREE! Heat dominating in the paint,
Easy for them--shots from wherever the Cs ain't.
Beasley plays well against the Cs, always the same.
Haslem, in Q1, is already having a career game.

SULLY FOR THREE! SULLY FOR THREE!
Cs missing shots, not playing much D.
Cs were outrebounded, within 12 start Q2.
When Ray came in there was less yay than boo.

AB FOR THREE! Cs need some open court play,
Heat not much D, Cs could have their way.
BAYLESS FOR THREE! AB, OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Signs of the Old Ray Allen we don't want to see.

When the Cs move the ball they get down in the post,
Tho it's perimeter shooting they've been doing the most.
Interesting: Haslem born in Miami, there for high school,
College, too. 11 years on the Heat--cool.

GREEN FOR THREE! Cs within 6 start Q3,
Miami outrebounds no one--but us? How can that be?
Finally! Some pick and roll, Cs hard to the hoop,
Good to see other than threes from our group!

AB FOR THREE! Vintage Rondo--pass to Green,
First few minutes Q3 most moving we've seen.
Cs a brief lead, Heat a 6-0 run,
Down from their 71% shooting in Q1.

Heat got sloppy, back and forth went the lead,
Cs stopped walking the ball up, offense we need.
Bass, Cs great hustle, AB FOR THREE!
Green took a charge, great Q Bass and AB!

Improved shooting to 50%, Cs up 2 start Q4.
Olynyk's developing rhythm and learning to score!
AB FOR THREE! Coach Adams helped him, Rondo, too.
Different practice routines he makes each player do.

Tonight Rondo is clearly the King of the Assist,
Mostly because of the shots the Cs haven't missed.
All of a sudden the game got crazy,
Cs turned the ball over on passes so lazy.

Ninth tie of the game, (ugh) on free throws by Ray,
Heat's Chris Anderson hustles on every play.
Crowd confused, cheering both teams in Our Place,
Olynyk--inadvertent hit--has a bloody face.

Then Cs great ball movement! GREEN FOR THREE!
Career high threes--at six--for AB!
The Crowd has decided! They are roaring!
Bass stepped up, Rondo rebounding and scoring!

Cs, led by the Captain, had a game so nice--
One of only three teams to beat the Heat twice!
So the Season Series vs Heat goes to the Cs,
Coach, Fans, Players--everyone--this does please!
