"EIGHTY PERCENT OF SUCCESS IS SHOWING UP." ~Woody Allen, Brooklyn Native

Cs are in Brooklyn, of a home and home, this is Game 2.
Brad says "It's a process"--the season, and team growth, too.
No Smart smarts (knee), the way he plays is all heart.
He's out for two weeks (or six)! AB will get the start.

Cs beat the Nets by 25, 72 hours ago.
Tonight the resolve and effort of the Nets will show.
IT pushing it up the floor, SULLY FOR THREE!
Nets the quick start we expected to see.

AB FOR THREE! Early Cs turnovers--four,
Nets taking advantage at their end if the floor.
AB great block! Plus, great hustle, great D!
AB FOR THREE! Hollis-Jefferson? Who IS he?

On just 32% shooting, Cs within 5 start Q2.
ROZIER FOR THREE! Amazing what ET can do!
OLYNYK FOR THREE! Nets' bench a 12-2 run,
Nets, with energy and urgency, getting stuff done.

Joe Johnson's having a night--Bargnani, Larkin, too.
AB FOR THREE! No foul IT? Cs within 17 end Q2.
Effort! Energy! For the Cs these are lacking,
Without Smart, the rim we're not attacking.

Cs (finally) hustling! IT FOR THREE! FOR THREE!
Two quick fouls, then hard to the hoop--ET.
Zeller is in, and running the floor.
AB FOR THREE! IT drawing fouls, need...more!

Cs zone. AB FOR THREE! AB FOR THREE!
From 22 down, Cs within 8 to start Q3.
Great things happen with Jerebko on the floor.
Cs in transition, bodies everywhere, AB score!

Cs need to pick up the D. Good minutes for RJ--
Works with a sports psychologist to help him play.
OLYNYK FOR THREE! Love IT/Olynyk style--
Half thru Q4 Crowder in, been out for a while.

Cs great ball movement! CROWDER FOR THREE!
OFFENSIVE FOUL ON CROWDER SHOOTING THE THREE??
That's how he shoots, he's not kicking his leg out--
You know it's an awful call when you can hear Brad shout!

We knew the Nets would show up, Cs' effort was poor
Until the end of Q3 and all of Q4!
AB FOR THREE! Cs have their most threes this game,
Cs were impressive (sort of), but where was the D? Lame....
