The Suns have given the Celtics a lot of trouble but I don't think this team is as good as in years past. They were fattening up on bottom feeders (playing Cleveland twice, NJ, and WAS).
The Celtics just got back Perkins and frankly, just in time. THey are a different and much better team with Perkins doing the little stuff out there. They were fattening up on lesser teams but not quite as bad as Phoenix's opponents.
