DOC HOLIDAY

The Clippers are in town. Doc spoke from his heart:
Said "he" reminds me of a better...me! Who? Marcus Smart!
Cs have 5 games, 7 nights. Tommy Heinsohn is here,
He had pneumonia, he's better, may he be of good cheer.

Doc said Rondo leaving was more Rondo wanted a trade--
Rondo laughed about his no D...after the deal was made.
Thinking Ainge wasn't surprised, he knew about no D.
Maybe that's just ONE reason Rondo's no longer a C!

Cs lead in field goal attempts--Brad's Pace and Space--
In NBA possessions per game Cs are in third place.
The opening high scorer, first five minutes of a game?
Redick, not Barnes (threes), tho they both did the same.

Clips strike early, Deandre down the middle, no D--
Cs need to talk on defense! AB FOR THREE!
Help from the Bench, less than five minutes in--
Crowder and Thomas, (please) let the scoring begin!

Great hustle Turner, Zeller, Thomas, Crowder!
Redick is a problem! The Fans need to get louder.
THOMAS FOR THREE! Chris Paul is annoying.
Refs no calls for the Cs, with us they are toying.

Early foul trouble, Crowder. Cs within 14 start Q2.
Pick and Roll "large" is what Big Baby can do!
JEREBKO FOR THREE! Threes are hard to come by,
Unless you're JJ Redick who just let's 'em fly.

Smart great hands, great D. Redick never misses--
If it's not some kind of three, off the glass it kisses.
Cs Bench made no progress against the Clips'.
That's a bunch of wasted offensive trips.

Full Court Pressey has missed fourteen straight threes.
Bringing pace, uptempo, that's what he does for the Cs.
Bass a loud dunk! TURNER FOR THREE!
Turner great strip on Chris Paul (yay), excellent D.

45 alley-oops in the Gahden this season,
None like Deandre's, his strength's the reason.
Gotta love the comments Mike and Tommy made
About Isaiah dropped, stared at, by "that thug, Wade."

Isaiah at the buzzer! Cs within 21 start Q3.
Clips 68 at the half--that's scary, where's our D?
Cs biggest halftime deficit in five years,
When the Cs' D is weak, the offense disappears.

Clips a 14-2 run, luckily Crowder is in it--
Cs need to get to the hoop and see the ball go in it.
Hmm, Cs are getting pounded but there is no shame,
Clips a different level. Cs, Brad, will learn (from) this game.

THOMAS FOR THREE! Clippers' arms are flying.
No calls. Cs so outplayed, there's no use crying.
Olynyk, Cs great hustle, on a swearing Hawes a T--
Clips reputation: they're always whiny as can be.

Olynyk at the buzzer! Cs within 26 start Q4--
Since 2000, no opponents over 100 to start Q4.
OLYNYK FOR THREE! Olynyk and his upfake--
Seems indecisive about whether his shot he'll make.

Speaking of thugs, Hawes threw Smart to the floor--
Redick fouled first, but Hawes should be out the door.
Gigi gets his own shots, Jerebko nice D, nice hook.
The points difference is Redick scoring on every look.

Against the Clips' bench, Cs a 15-2 run,
A 5th quarter vs. the Clips' bench, Cs could get it done!
Cheesy call on Gigi; trouble Hawes, Turkoglu with Smart.
The former are nasty,  Smart plays with heart ;)

Near the Clips' bench someone ill, stopped play,
Emergency, stretcher, hope the guy will be ok.
Full Court Pressey provided a spark we did need--
PLEASE SIGN CROWDER AND...SIGN THE SWEDE!

Da Time for Datome, DATOME FOR THREE!
Clips' bench returned, Hack A Jordan we did see.
DATOME FOR THREE! Hack A Jordan some more.
Off his misses the Cs MUST score!

Barnes tripped Isaiah, went down hard, no call.
He gets tossed around whenever he touches the ball.
Q4 Cs' Starters  got a good rest--
Hornets tomorrow, need to bring our best.

Cs within 13, game's not reflected by the score.
No quit in these Cs, left it all on the floor.
Thinking how Doc, over the Cs, the Clippers did pick--
He's here, it's like he left the dance with the sexier chick.
