The Boston Celtics are 43 games into the current regular season , and they are faltering. WHY? Well, first of all, this IS the regular season - and Boston is experiencing the lethargy often seen in a "post-Title NBA team" . In other words, the Celtics are bored with any pre-playoff contests - i tching for the post-season - and facing potential post-season competition from a very-improved Cavaliers team and a somewhat-improved Thunder squad.

Let's see if the Celtics can put together a quality game for four quarters today. Even when they almost make the steal the other team scores. It's brutal. JBs turn around jumper is absolute butter. He should dominate inside the ...
