SICK-sers

Cs are in Philly, hope there's momentum for Al!
(someone please--soon!--give grammar lessons to Scal).
No Embiid tonight, doesn't yet do back-to-back.
Horford on Okafor, no challenge will he lack.

Over the Sixers (no jinx), Cs have won eight straight.
Second game Horford's involved out of the gate!
Cs' start, not engaged, a dangerous way to play:
Something about every dog has its day....

News! Al, first guy ever: 4 3s, 6 blocks, 2 steals,
Makes Ainge look even greater at blockbuster deals!
Cs careless with the ball. Working the baseline is IT!
Sixers' Rodriguez shooting at will?? Who is he?

Sixers offense and D. Cs within 8 end Q1.
Cs allowed 30 points. Bet the huddle wasn't fun.
Cs more passing, better D. OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Rodriguez having a night--again, who is he??

Sixers reigning...raining threes (50%). IT FOR THREE!
AB FOR THREE! Ouch. Cs within 8 to start Q3.
Amir, hustle, baby hook! Ilyasova?? Where's our D?
CROWDER FOR THREE! Amazing drawing fouls--IT!

Crowder, energetic! AB, steal, finds space.
Cs a 14-4 run! Finally upped the D and Pace!
First Cs lead and the ball, minutes left Q3, five,
Energetic, thinking, passing...the Cs came alive!

Ugh, rough moment, Saric posterized our Swede ;)
Olynyk, D! Rozier steal! More offense we need!
Cs 50% shooting. TIE, end Q3.
CROWDER FOR THREE! HORFORD FOR THREE!

Smart's jacking threes (again)--Crowder right spot--
Love Smart's energy and D, needs work on his shot.
Cs crazy hustle, IT save, Fearless Brown to the hoop!
JEREBKO FOR THREE! Fearless Brown! Love our group!

And just like that Sixers, from down 7, within 2,
Make that 1. IT FOR THREE! Wow, what he can do!
Oka-five fouls. Game's tight! Saric's shot--tie.
IT, off the inbound, down the court he did fly!

AB coast-to-coast, fouled--Cs great D!
AB missed a free throw, 16 secs, Cs up 3.
Intense! 2.8 secs, Cs up 2, Cs' ball,
1.7 secs left, Horford's free throws did fall!

Ilyasova, three at the buzzer! CELTICS WON by ONE!
57 points (IT 37) our backcourt...(phew) barely won!
