Today's Game 7 vs. the Cavs was "instant classic" material.
Think Bird-Dominque 1988, that is what Pierce-James was today.
Red Auerbach was in the building today.
Celts go on to the Conference Finals vs. The Pistons.
Somewhere, I can hear Johnny Most screaming, "there is Counterfiet Bill Lambeer.  Of all the gutless wonders in the world.....

The Pistons will end their shaky run.

was a great series....go celtics

real men play baseball.

CELTIC PRIDE!

Memorable call by Johnny Most, legendary Boston Celtics play by play man:  
1987      * Game 5 of the 1987 playoff series against the Detroit Pistons, the series tied at 2-2

Detroit had a one-point lead late in the game and needed to inbound the ball to secure the victory and take a 3-2 Series lead with Game 6 on their court. (Then, as now, the conference finals followed a 2-2-1-1-1 format.) Isiah Thomas was inbounding the ball to Bill Laimbeer, who was in the backcourt. But...

"Now there's a steal by Bird! Underneath to DJ who lays it in!!...Right at one second left!! What a play by Bird! Bird stole the inbounding pass, laid it up to DJ, and DJ laid it up and in, and Boston has a one-point lead with one second left! OH, MY, THIS PLACE IS GOING CRAZY!!!"

What, you want audio with your beverage?  Have a listen...

Remember it well.  A period of time when no matter what the sitch, you knew Bird could pull it out.

Larry Legend, Johnny Most....ah, good times... :)

I dont know, I am going to miss that freak show of a team--the Cavaliers.  Certainly a bunch of funny looking misfits.

Why is it that us yinzers who love basketball, never having a home team of our own have adopted the Celtics as our team?

Bizarre isn't it?  A strong Celtics town.

Where are the Highbang Robs of yesteryear?

Dont't forget the Wrens and the http://oldaba.ifrance.com/aba%20logos/pittsburgh%20pipers%20(1967-68).gif

We have an ABA team again.  I have no idea what they are called now.  But they played their first season at Penn State Mckeesport and the Pennsylvania Pit Bulls.  I went to their first game, packed house, sloppy basketball.  Our coach had a heart attack and died on the court during the game.  No kidding.  Everybody was screaming, we all thought he was protesting a bad call, little did we know he was dead.

Check it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_Pit_Bulls.

They are owned by our own Freddie Lewis.

Well after trying to beat them and failing in game 1. I have turned around and bet on Gang Green tonight. It seems like tehy are strictly a home court team. But since they have homecourt advantage over everybody,at least they are protecting their own turf. Go Celtics. Cover the 4 1/2  :willya...PLEEZE!!

Tonight is huge.

Its amazing how year in and year out, the Pistons are able to field a team of thugs.  I hate that team, but admire their continuous performance.

Go Celts!

Detroit Basketball!  Pistons in 6.  

I hate to agree, but I think the Celts are going down in 6.

Gang Green Win On The Road!!!!

Big win for Celts.  Big win for America.

VERY big win

Big win for the Celts.  Big loss for the Guins.  As l flipped channels last night, I found the higlight of the night was the Pirate game.  Not the game itself, but some drunken yinzer kept singing as loud as possible, "Oh no, they say hes got to go, Go go Godzilla".   Came in loud as fuck on tv.  I cracked up every time he sang.

MIA.  I may have to give him a call.  I have his cell number somewhere.

Some excellent NBA playoff basketball being played.  Even the board's white spastiholics would presumably enjoy this.  Could we see a classic Celtics v. Lakers?  Is god that cool?

only in the eighties, moonbucket.

Going seven again......



Hey Chevy, what is the Jet's nick?

Its kind of like the presidential election.  The Pistons are the only ones who can beat the Lakers, but they will not be able to get past the Celts.

And so it goes back to Motown, Celts lead series!
Ray Allen chose a good time to find his downtown shot.
Kendrick Perkins had the game of his life......

can the Celts avoid a Game 7?  I think not

Game 7 is what it's all about

Game 7 in da Gahden....if the regular season means anything, that's it right there...

The NBA Gods from years ago have deemed this Game 7 to be decided in this manner.
The Big Ticket needs to play an entire game, not portions of same.

And the crowd screams thru the streets of New England......

Bring On the Lakers!

Next Thursday Night Baby~The Fun Begins!!!!

It's 1987 all over again!

Oh Jizzy, it's so cool you were so wrong....Keep it up for the next round!

BEAT LA-----BEAT LA------BEAT LA------

Big win!

Celts needed that.

Kobe must be crushed.

Goddamn Moonie, you beat me to it!!!  Many happy faces here in that "other" Cetics town.

Celts - Lakers.  Who would have thunk?  This is going to be an incredible series.  I can't freakin' believe how confident the Lakers are, and the Celtics have got to be feeling good about taking down the Detroit hatchet killers.

This was the scene @ Game 5...Will Jack Nicholson look to steal Coach B's Super Cougar?

I did not think they had it in 'em...I despise Kobe, so go Celts.....Lakers will give 'em a good run though

Yay - just like old times

Celtics / Lakers

Hope they hand Kobe a painful loss in the finals
