Sports Redux: Six Men Down

Celtics 86, Raptors 95. With six men out with injuries, including the latest casualty Tony Allen, the Celtics hardly had the manpower to overcome a team in good health. The game started sloppy and it wasn’t until the second half that the crowd got into the game when. The Celtics were able to take control of the scoreboard by a few points here and there, but the night was a game of catch-up for the home team before ultimately coming up 9 points short. Young, rookie players took to the parquet and managed to hold their own for much of the game – perhaps it will help to give greater depth when those injured return to the court. How’s that for optimism?

In other sporting news the Patriots are listening to the trash talking, readying their three-man attack, and getting fans prepped for the game tomorrow against the Chargers in San Diego.
