Tomorrow is one of the biggest games left on Boston's regular season schedule. In anticipation of it I am kicking things off a day early by exchanging some questions with TexSun from Bright Side of the Sun. My responses will be up there at some point.

I feel like I just stepped into a science fiction movie and traveled a month into the past.

Fresh off a competitive loss to a Pistons team that delivered one of the most embarrassing losses of the season a month ago, the Suns laid a king-size ostrich egg against the Celtics tonight against whom, ironically, they looked good in Shaq's second game after the trade. So what the heck happened? Well, for one thing, the Suns looked like they had a serious case of the "no ...
