This afternoon is a great lazy afternoon. So lazy that when the Celtics play the Suns this afternoon the best players for both teams wont even be suited. KG and Amare are both out with injuries so it will be up to the side kicks this afternoon.
The Celtics need a win. Plain and simple. We pooped the bed against the Jazz and now its time to bounce back with some authority....and we will make the Suns respect our authority.
The Suns are in the midst of an identity crisis. They are supposed to be so much better than they are its sad really. on the other hand, the Celtics technically should be better than they currently are as well, in terms of them losing games they should have won. So its a two way street to be sure.
Obviously when you play the Suns there are some guarantees. Nash is good for 10+ assists, Shaq will shoot 90% from the floor and Jason Richardson will have either have a highlight dunk or key 3s. Those three threats should be the major focus of the Celtics. I look at the match ups in the back court to make the difference in this game. Can rajon not only run the offense but get his as well? Can Ray shake loose to get the open shots and continue his hot season from the the floor? the answer to these questions and more as we get set to enjoy a nice lazy Sunday afternoon the with Celtics.
Prediction: Celtics 94 - Suns 83
TA: Ray
