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!
