HONORING THE TRUTH but FACING SOME TRUTHS

Cavs at the Gahden, here (include) Rondo, Doc, KG-

Lue says no specific defense planned on Kyrie.

Doc, in stands, first in 30 years, a Fan shirt will he don?

“...grab a beer, yell at the refs all game...boo Lebron.” 😂

Kyrie, first score! New Cavs no practice yet;

George Hill the only new guy who is a vet.

Morris (start)! Tatum! Kyrie over Lebaby-score!

Crowd loves Lebaby missed, other end of the floor!

Horford! Fearless Brown! Lebaby’s cry baby face-

MORRIS FOR THREE!  Baynes, no calls, any place.

KYRIE FOR THREE! Very hard charge took Baynes!

Lebaby has missed no games; now feeling knee pains.

Rozier! MORRIS FOR THREE! Tons o’ vids of PP!

(Mean, but gotta mention no tribute issues for IT).

Horford, deflection! TATUM FOR THREE!

JGreen, against us, aggressive you choose to be?

Horford flew to the hoop, jam! Cs up 1 end Q1!

(If I weren’t so nervous, this would be fun).

Rozier! Fearless Brown! Tatum! Horford to Theis!

Cs, ball movement! Rozier to the rim...nice!

How hard it is to listen to MJackson and Breen?

Cs, TOs. Great, Lebaby found his shots, his threes. 

Kyrie! Monroe!  More careless plays by the Cs ;(

Kyrie! Horford, tangled up with Thompson, is ok. 

Offensive foul on Tatum?? Should’ve gone our way.

Morris! ROZIER FOR THREE! Cavs, 9-3 run.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Tatum! Cs showing life-

(new) Cavs in town, all shining, too much strife ;(

Cs, 5-0 run, way more to do! Cs within 21 end Q3.

Brad told Guys when we miss shots, gotta play D.

Anxious Crowd (boos). Crowd shouting for Pierce!

Describing today’s Cs? The word is not “fierce.” 

Monroe, Rozier, still,scoring. Cs can’t find any D-

Almost the least of the problems we did see.

ROZIER FOR THREE! Another crushing blow,

Blown out, same week, by the Cavs, Rapts-oh no😰

Crowd calling for PP, 

Wish he were dressed as a C.

Don’t wanna do the math, Celtics did not win-

ASB! Vacation! Let our time off begin!

Maybe we should have only one celebration at a time,

Today we’ll go with Pierce, no more can I rhyme....

(still) CELTICS HOORAH!
