I ran onto the court after Havlicek hit the bank shot to win Game 5 - Or so I thought.....

Paul Westphal is overrated.  Charlie Scott is much better offensively.

i watched that game with my dad on a weekend i had gone with him to help out on our family farm outside of knoxville - he and i always had a tough time with each other and sports (and the Celtics specifically) was one of the few things we had in common - so that game is special to me for lots of reasons.

i remember reading, years later, the experience a Phoenix fan had watching Game 5 at his home and how he shattered a living room lamp when Havlicek hit that shot.
