And Another One...Celtics' Slide Continues, Fall To Houston

After going on a 19-game winning streak from Nov. 14 until Christmas day, the Celtics have now lost 6 of their last 8. Houston beat Boston 89-85. Yet, I'm sure they'll tell you nothing's wrong. Yao Ming had 26 for the Rockets, who held Boston to 4 of 18 shooting in the fourth quarter. Players around The League have been calling the Celtics arrogant...maybe it's catching up to them. However, I still wouldn't count them out of title contention just yet.

The Cavs played in their throwback uni's tonight, so you know what that means.......Some cold-ass Lebron VI's. Below....
