"HOUSTON, WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM." ~Jim Lovell

Rondo organized a team dinner. Hours? Three?
Bonding experience--no more information gave he!
Two in a row in Texas, like a long weekend away.
Terrible early calls on Cs, Brad wants to let 'em play.

Cs getting great shots but they're not going in,
Rockets can't miss, not just DH and Harden....
Only Bass is making buckets in his poised way,
Cs need to calm down, get organized and play.

For the Cs one and done every time down the floor,
At will all the Rockets (JET three) seem to score.
Cs within 15 to start Q2,
Rockets' Harden on the bench, scoring's hard to do.

Cs too many turnovers plus struggling with the three,
Our rebounding is abysmal, that's on every C!
Rockets 20-2 made free throws, Cs within 19 (hmmm) end Q2,
More than guarding DH12 the Cs have to do.

Oh so desperately this season in Rondo we trust,
But in this second game (not the first) he's showing rust.
Rockets' play is uninspired, Sully is showing some fight,
Cs a 9-0 run but it is still a long night.

Halfway through Q3, free throws twenty-eight to four,
It is not because the Cs aren't running the floor!
Rondo a dunk! That was fun to see.
Silly foul--his fifth--picked up by AB.

Foul trouble the whole game made Brad's job rough,
Free throws thirty-eight to six is even more tough.
Neither team's shooting percentage is very high,
But Cs' 0 for 21 threes makes me want to cry.

Cs within 19 to start Q4,
Good effort but Cs are falling all over the floor!
Sully playing hard, took an elbow from Dwight,
Who flashed his grin, tech on Sully, what a night!

GREEN FOR THREE! Cs are 1 for 25, record, too,
Hope he'll remember next game what he can do!
No flow tonight, Young and Pressey got time,
To describe this evening I have run out of rhyme.

Rockets won this game, not because of what they did;
It was the refs plus...the Cs' hoop had an invisible lid.
