Timelord out with the torn meniscus, Al out for personal reasons and the Jays both out with tendinopathy (resting on a back to back) and the Celtics managed to not only make this a game, but they brought it to OT and had a couple chances at winning it. Celtics lose to Toronto in OT 115-112. Was this game perfect? Absolutely not, BUT what are you expecting when you are down 4 starters against a playoff team. As I'm watching this game, I saw a bunch of guys step up, hustle their butts off and make an argument for rotation minutes. Nesmith and Hauser both looked real solid tonight and got meaningful minutes. Games like this are huge confidence boosters for guys like this. With today's loss, the Celtics fall down to 4th place again but we are still tied with Philly and Milwaukee just 1GB Miami who we happen to play on Wednesday. I'm fully expecting both of the Jays to play in that game on Wednesday which could have huge playoff implications as far as standings go. This is not a "time to freak out" type of loss. This is a "on to the next one" type game.
