Vanvleet? Fearless Brown! Horford! Moments, not fun to see.

Rozier, D! Morris, hustle! Dabusele sighting;

A rare game, Cs never came out fighting.

Rest for the (not great) Starters, no win would we see;

Brad able to explore what other rotations might be.

Guess we were the more tired of the two Teams-

Say s’long to our East number one seed dreams.

One thing that did not change here:

Brad Stevens should still be Coach of the Year!

CELTICS HOORAH!
