The Celtics played one of their toughest 4 game combinations this season as they went at it with the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. 3 of the 4 games were in Boston at the TD Garden. The only road game was against the Pacers. But the Celtics having been one of the teams to have played the most games in the NBA thus far this season got plenty of rest during this 4 game stretch. On our last show we discussed the Celtics going 1-1 on a back to back that saw them beat Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks the first night then lose to Lebron James, the Refs and the Cavs the next night. The Celtics then got 4 days off before hosting the Memphis Grizzlies in Boston. The Celtics got 1 day off before hosting the Houston Rockets on Friday. Then got 3 days off before facing a tought back to back set which saw them face off with the Pacers out in Indiana then travel back to Boston to take on the Thunder the next night. In those games the Celtics opponents will all be playing on atleast 1 days rest or more. The Celtics went into the game against the Grizzlies with a 1/2 game lead over the Heat for 3rd place in the Eastern Conference. Trailed the Raptors by 5 Games for 2nd place. At the ending of this stretch the Celtics will be going at it with the Raptors in the final 2 games of the season series. The Celtics must win both to prevent the Raptors from holding the tiebreaker via the head to head wins. So where do the Celtics stand after the 4 game stretch. Did they gain ground on Toronto who had to face off with the Hawks, Heat, Bulls, Bucks and are going at it with the Pacers right now as we speak or did Toronto move closer to first and further from the Celtics. What about the Celtics/Heat race. The Heat had to take on the Bucks, Bulls, Raptors, Nuggets and are taking on the Hornets right now. Are the Celtics still ahead of them? Or did they gain some ground prior to this show. We will break it down on Celtics Talk Radio
