"I KNOW EVERYBODY ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT MICHAEL JORDAN, BUT THERE IS NOBODY THAT EVER COMPETED BETTER THAN JOHN STOCKTON." ~Danny Ainge, 2003, as a TV Broadcaster

Shout out to Stockton, Celtics are in Utah tonight,
Respect from a young Ainge somehow seems right ;)
Crowder is not with the Team; we still have no AB--
"Wait til after the ASB!!" ...when Ainge calls to ask me!

Smart, first score! IT FOR THREE!
Horford, block! Amir! Full speed, every C!
Two quick fouls, Fearless Brown to the rim!
Gobert, The Stifle Tower. IT shot right over him!

Hayward's a problem. IT FOR THREE!
Green! Olynyk, strip! OLYNYK FOR THREE!
Smart, strip! Olynyk running the floor! Phew!
On 78% (vs 44) shooting, Cs up 10 start Q2!

ROZIER FOR THREE! Smart, steal! GOTTA LOVE IT:
Opened a kids gym, Tacoma--cried for all to see.
Green...again! Rozier, save! Cs a 10-0 run!
Cs ball movement, sharp shooting, getting it done!

Diaw's here. Games have been rough on Our Swede!
Tonight: mask, shoved around and then he did bleed.
HORFORD FOR THREE! How Does He Do It, IT?
WOW! GREEN FOR THREE! How great is he?

Cs excellent play, against the Jazz, known for D,
On 67% shooting, Cs up 14 start Q3!
Fearless Brown, right hip strain, no more tonight.
Green in for him. Hope the Rookie is all right.

Green, three fouls. Streaking Horford to the rim!
Smart, in pain! Walked on his own. Cramp for him?
OLYNYK FOR THREE! Olynyk, strip! Young, in.
YOUNG FOR THREE! He practices! They go in!

Saying refs calling for them, "...call 'em for me!"
OLYNYK FOR THREE! Cs an 11-2 run!
Olynyk, block! Ugh, (poor rhyme) Joe Johnson.

Jazz better D. Cs Bench! Cs up 12 end Q3.

Jerebko dumped mask! Ingles plays kinda dirty on IT.
38 straight games with 20+ points, IT!

Jazz an 8-0 run. 1st, NBA, FT percent--IT!
Pointing to his wrist: IT FOR THREE!
Jazz making shots, Cs TOs, Jazz still in it.
Horford, great D! Cs great passing--wanna win it!

Horford, 96% FT shooting in Q4--
No quit in the Jazz, they continue to score.
Jazz never led, CELTICS WON BY 8.
All played well, Bench especially great!

***************************************************

An aside: just reported, it's a very sad day:
Cs' '12 draft, Fab Melo, 26, in his sleep, passed away.
'Cuse's Boeheim says he was a very good kid,
Worked hard, treated people well, that's what he did.
Respect.
