Boston is getting tired.

The Celtics got off to a brilliant start, one of the best in NBA history. I think people expected them to win a lot of games this year, I think having three All-Star players can kind of guarantee that happening. I mean they were off to like a 29-3 start, that's fairly incredible, I don't care who is on your team.

Today's loss against Orlando was a tough one for sure, a Hedo Turkoglu buzzer beating three sends the Celtics to another loss, they're now 5-5 in their last 10 games. I know, Kevin Garnett didn't play today, but still, the team has two other All-Stars. They've lost to some average or below average teams too. Orlando, Toronto, Charlotte and Washington (twice, back to back) have been the teams to take Boston down in the past three weeks. They also BARELY beat the NBA's worst team (record wise, sorry Miami) the Minnesota Timberwolves, 87-86 the other night. (Garnett was obviously thrilled to beat the lowly T-Wolves by one point as well)

This team was and still is an odds on favorite to make the NBA Finals, and even possibly win the title according to many. It looks to me like a lot of the energy is being used in the regular season, and they're only half-way through. The playoff journey is a whole extra two months.

Don't get me wrong, this team is still one of the top teams, but it seems like they're already losing some gas, and the journey ahead is a long one.

Don't be surprised if they fizzle out a lot sooner than expected, especially Boston fans and so many riding the high horse for them right now.
