Celtics-Suns

I got a chance to see the Celts live this past weekend, when they made their one appearance in Phoenix this year. It was definitely very festive, as Suns fans were WAY into Shaq (already lots of Shaq jerseys in the stands). Nash is always a treat to watch; Phoenix really should have won by much more than 8 points, as they fumbled away many of the brilliant opportunities Nash created with his passing.

I'm sure that I haven't been able to see as many Celts games as the Boston dwellers, but I think I must have gotten one of the Celtic's worst efforts of the year. They couldn't shoot, but more importantly, couldn't/wouldn't rebound. Rebounding was Shaq's one big contribution for the Suns in this game, but I don't think his presence was the main factor. I watched the Celtics make very little effort to even get close to the basket for offensive rebounds. I was surprised to see such passive glass play - your thoughts?
