#CUsRise

The Rook 
and #CUsRise 
were opposed by the alleged King 
and the dubious hashtag 
#WhateverItTakes 
(how very mercenary of you, 
 Damned Cavaliers...!) 


 And, in the end... 
without three of its top players in the line-up, 
the Boston Celtics' Rise 
was halted... Alas. 





Is it sufficient that, 
-just like the Bruins 
in the previous round 
in the NHL playoffs- 
the Celtics will see 
their hated opponent 
be destroyed systematically 
(even more so than the 
Tampa Bay Lightning was - 
by the NHL's version of Lebron: 
 Capital Ovechkin!)
in the very next round 
- this time not the East Finals 
but THE FINALS... 
(by the NBA's version of 
Cristiano Ronaldo: 
the Golden State Warriors' 
 Stephen Curry!)

It is small consolation, indeed. 


 May be enough for the Leprechaun... 
 But it is not enough for the 
 17-Time World Champion 
 (that's one more than Ric Flair!) 
 most storied franchise 
 in ALL of SPORTS - 
 The Boston Celtics 

But that is it - that is all -  
for this season...

Paul Pierce is most right: 
this is a learning experience for the young Celts 


 #CUsRise 
NEXT SEASON - 
when Kyrie, Gordon & 
maybe even Isaiah 
are BA-ACK in the line-up! 

because it certainly is not Cleveland!
