...okay, hard to see the silver lining, but I'm gonna try:
1. The Cs made it farther than many predicted;
2. Ray Allen represented the Celtics well, with much class in the loss tonight;
3. BBD got a little cheaper;
4. Rondo got a little cheaper, if signed to an offseason extension;
5. KG can go under the knife sooner, and be ready to play sooner;
6. PP can get the rest that he so well deserves, and get ready for next season;
... feel free to add more.
