How fast things change in the NBA.  Last week the Celtics were at the top of the league after beating Orlando on the road. 

Tonight they are getting blasted by the Suns which is understandable given the injuries.  Add that to the previous inexcusable losses to the Clippers and Warriors, it's obvious this team is in deep trouble.

Very interesting discussion involving two great NBA minds in Ric Bucher and Bill Simmons.  They talked about the Celtics in great detail.  Their perspective is that it's painfully obvious how washed up Rasheed is AND that the team has serious infighting between the younger players and veterans.  Definitely not good signs when the C's top veteran players are getting injured, their top free agent acquisition can't shoot and is out of shape and the team is apparently tired of each other already. 

The signs of trouble are fast approaching...

Besides lack of health, hopefully momentary, the only deep trouble they have is lack of rebounding. They have to find a way of fixing that, even if it means a trade.

Do you watch the Celtics play sometime? Did you notice the horrible infighting between the youngsters and the veterans? Or do you believe the crap that Bill Simmons and his friends discuss about to get more listeners, while the story they are referring to happened like 6 months ago?
