BUZZZZ KILL

No Thornton tonight and no Jameer,
Young's in, Big Al and Lance aren't here.
Smart is our future but he has to learn;
Turner's getting the start, which he did earn.

Turner no more TOs! There's pressure on Brad,
To rotate 11 players, toughest decisions he's had.
Cs MUST WIN at home, against the Hornets tonight.
It's Zeller vs Zeller and Seats For Soldiers Night.

Sweet tribute to Stuart Scott, a respectful, quiet minute,
Ret. Petty Officer Wilson's anthem! A contest? He'd win it!
Heinsohn says Kemba Walker is "nifty."
The perfect description if it were 1950 ;)

Every rebound to Kidd-Gilchrist, Hornets an 11-0 run,
Cs' missed shots, fouls, turnovers, no D--no fun!
Two quick fouls AB, Olynyk, Green has all the score,
He's spectacular and athletic all over the floor!

Smart great D, offense and poise from Bass!
Cs terrible shooting, Hornets a pain in the...neck.
On 30% shooting, Cs within 8 (how?) start Q2,
Brad going with the Bench to see what they can do.

SMART FOR THREE! Just heard of the Knicks trade:
Giving up/waiving players. What plans have been laid?
Gotta love Crowder, at least he drives to the rim!
Turner came to life mid Q2--on Walker, need him!

Young is in, as a Celtic not a Red Claw,
He played well in Maine, I guess Brad saw!
Turner great steal! Walker keeps splitting the D (?)--
With no urgency, no fight, Cs within 14 start Q3.

Hornets have had rhythm--not the Cs group,
The Wonder Ball--no one's going hard to the hoop!
The Wrong Zeller is having a night,
Finally Turner to the rim, to the crowd's delight.

Wallace is in, he can pass down the floor,
Maybe to a Celtic who, with a lay-up, can score?
Did Green pull up gimpy, an ankle sprain?
SMART FOR THREE! Finding chemistry's a pain.

Every C who dressed has played tonight.
Walker split D--spin--scored on Wright.
CROWDER FOR THREE! Yay! YOUNG FOR THREE!
Young again! Cs within 17 end Q3.

Pressey, full tilt, the length of the floor!
Olynyk took a charge, Cs need...more.
8 points in 9 minutes: YOUNG FOR THREE!
Pressey makes the Cs aggressive--great to see!

Crowder showing hustle, he has great hands,
Drawing cheers from 18,000+ in the stands!
Bass is strong! Hard to the hoop goes he,
Olynyk's too inconsistent....CROWDER FOR THREE!

Good job Pressey, good ball movement Cs!
More Marcus Smart Defense on Walker--please!
Young a charge! Bass block! YOUNG FOR THREE!
Cs more ball movement--and more Young we see!

Walker went crazy! There was no containing him,
Sully 20 points. Cs Starters, go back to the gym!
"Full Court Pressey," brought energy, D and speed,
Plus Young, Smart, Crowder, Bass, the fight we need!

The Bench, not the Starters, have shown some hunger.
If we see more Young, does that make us Young-er?
Our Bench, the children, nearly brought the game home,
THEY had some chemistry, that's the gist of this poem.
