In the blink of a game, the undefeated season was lost. A stunned Garden crowd dispersed. Greg Dickerson wept openly.

By Monday, kids in the poorer regions of the planet will have “Celtics 82-0” T-shirts to go with their Patriots Super Bowl XLII Champions hoodies. Steve Pagliuca’s polling numbers will take a hit. The young and impressionable will turn away in horror when video of last night’s 110-103 loss to Phoenix shows up on ESPN.

too many Sheed 3 attempts with no reason to rush them....he will improve in the offense with more time...too many missed free throws...those were killers....and too much hot shooting from The Suns...can't win them all and the Celts can learn from a "good" loss. This game is what builds championships

I thought the three point attempts down the stretch were rushed, they were uncontested for the most part. I think the thought was to go with Rasheed because of his shooting ability in that situation they just didn't fall last night.
