... As the Celtics prepare to host the Blazers tonight, Channing Frye tells the Oregonian's Jason Quick what last year's meeting was like: "'The Celtics, they irritate everybody,' Blazers power forward Channing Frye said.

And how Channing Frye said, "The Celtics, they irritate everybody"? Well, as noted, players and teams shouldn't go tugging on Superman's cape.
