CELTICS BLAZE A (WINDING) PATH (phew)!

Blazers at the Gahden, Game 3 of 3, home stand.
Again, no Kyrie, Smart, Morris, Larkin...undermanned.
Blazers tough on O-mostly Lillard and McCollum, C.J.
Distracting to play at noon on Super Bowl Day?

Tatum, fake, score! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!
Tatum, D! Baynes, block! Blazers ignoring our D.
Ojeleye! Horford! Nurkic? Questions about him-
Not today, he and Blazers, early rhythm.

Blazers, 13-2 run. Theis, D! Cs playing no PG.
Cs, lots o’ rotations. FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE! 
Ojeleye, block! Horford, block! TATUM FOR THREE!
Theis! “Dab-usele, hustle-since Oct. 26th, his first FT.

TATUM FOR THREE! Cs within 7 start Q2.
Cs, 27% shooting (vs 44). Room for Cs, work to do.
Cs, FT struggles. More important is where we ain’t:
Few points, even less D, disorganized in the paint ;(

NADER FOR THREE! (finally) ROZIER FOR THREE! 
Rozier attacking the paint, pass! NADER FOR THREE!
“DAB-USELE” FOR THREE!  Bench dabbed, two 😂
Cs, D! Horford, PG-ish, playing D on McCollum, too.

HORFORD,LOUD JAM, his first in games, thirteen;
Blazers (Harkless), too many threes we’ve seen.
Blazers 15-2 run. Cs, TOs. Cs within 16 start Q3.
Rozier attacking the rim! Points in the paint let’s see!

Horford, one-legged fadeaways! Baynes, loud!
Whose in charge of the “music??” Involve the Crowd!
Fearless Brown! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!
Cs, great ball movement! HORFORD FOR THREE!

Rozier, rebounds! Baynes! On Lillard, Cs, D!
Rozier! Smart there, cheering, I bet worried is he:
Will he be forgiven? Thursday, will he still be a C?
Larry Bird retired-today-in 1973.

OJELEYE FOR THREE! Cs sloppy with the ball.
Lillard hit in the face, foul on Theis, no flagrant call.
Tatum! Cs, from within 16, then 1, within 4,start Q4.
Cs 37% shooting (vs 40), hence the closer score.

Horford, score...block! Theis, rebounds, D! 
Tatum ➡️ tie! Cs stood. McCollum found his three ;(
Rozier! Fearless Brown! OJELEYE FOR THREE!
Cs, ball movement ➡️ tie on TATUM FOR THREE!

Cs, more ball movement! HORFORD FOR THREE!
Ojeleye takes the hit, Rozier, too-crazy D:
Nurkic fouled out! FEARLESS BROWN FOR THREE!
Cs, a 15-2 run. Lillard, tie! ROZIER-caps, tho not a 3!

How did Lillard get to the hoop?
Brad was furious (foul to give) at our Group.
HORFORD AT THE BUZZER, ALL CAPS INDEED-
CELTICS WON BY 1! Horford, all this game did need!

On to the Raptors, hope fewer Guys we lack,
Anxious for at least Morris and Kyrie to be back.
CELTICS HOORAH!
🏀 ☘️
