Recap Poetry: Nets 104, Celtics 96 (10-13)

After each Celtics game, MercerJersey.com captures what transpired via the art of rhythmical literary composition in "Recap Poetry."

Today's poetry recap is... an acrostic.

Yes, baseball – but also The Homecoming!

Boston's attention will be firmly fixed on the Fens tonight as the Sox try to move one step closer to bringing home the World Series Cup.  Just because Paul and KG will be sitting out of the action a few miles northeast, however, doesn't mean that the Garden won't still be host to a special homecoming that's worth noticing, too.

Wait for it...

That's right.  JET!!!!

(OOOOO-OOOOooooo OOOOO-OOOOooooo OOOOO-OOOOooooo!)

No, his no. 4 isn't destined for the rafters like nos. 34 or 5 but his return to Causeway Street might be a good time to re-evaluate Jason Terry's mostly disappointing run in green & white... To appreciate him for what he was: a (grit-and)balls-to-the-wall committed Celtic (see: THE LEPRECHAUN BICEP TATTOO) and an all-around fun dude who, if nothing else, gave us one memorable playoff burst to remind us all why we'd once hailed him as a suitable replacement for Ray Allen.

The End of The World: One Fan's Story

I'm in New York for this.  On Long Island.  Just under an hour east of the Barclays Center in the sleepy hamlet of Bellmore, at my girlfriend's family's house, visiting for a long weekend.

The girlfriend is keeping the TV on E! until 12:00 on the dot, watching a Keeping Up with the Kardashians re-run.  Yes – one featuring Kris Humphries (gut punch no. 1).  When the time comes, we'll switch over to YES, since I'll be watching this unfold on the official network of the New York Yankees (gut punch no. 2).  The suspense builds with each minute as we approach high noon.

11:56... 11:57... 11:58... 11:59...

And we're in.
