Every team has a bad matchup out there in the hinterlands.

For the Celtics, that hellish opponent just might be the Phoenix Suns - an athletic, transition-driven unit that last night was immune to the deepest team in the NBA.

Wake up call! That's a real good Phoenix team the Celts have to play hard every night to get to their goal. Not as easy as fans think, there are plenty of tough teams out there and they still like to beat Boston.

Complacency a word seldom used but aptly placed in describing the Celtics the last 2 games. If you enter the fray half-hearted you shall surely lose,the Celtics did not dominate or even control the flow of the game, hence the Suns emerged victorious....

The officials are blatantly in the tank for any team playing the Celtics. This concerns me because what is going to hapeen when the games actually get close? Hey Lakers fan, didn't your team lose its first game like 5 days ago? I'mnot exactly sure what you are so happy about because the Suns look a lot better than the Lakers do. That's your conference.

Celts looked tired after a tough stretch of games...7 games in 11 days, plus a game tonight against the Nets in NJ. They're 6-1, I'll take that.
