I’m feeling a bit nostalgic after seeing the new schedule come out and watching some Celtics highlights from the past year, so it made me think - what was my favorite moment of the 2017-2018 season, including the playoffs?
To me, two moments/plays stick out: (1) Smart drawing two charges on Harden in the final seconds to win us the game, and (2) Tatum dunking on Lebron in Game 7.
I think I lean toward Smart’s play(s), as we actually won that game, and that has to be the loudest that I’ve ever heard the Garden. But both were definitely some of the most memorable of the season, and my personal favorites.

Smart’s Play(s)

Probably being in the building and watching Marcus Morris beat OKC with a dagger 3, though my opinion of Mook lowered in the coming weeks...
-
Favorite game had to be against Golden State (that huge comeback at the Garden where Brown scored 22). I think it set the tone for the season, and it was Jaylen's coming out party imo.
The Harden charge was epic. I also loved Jaylen dunking over Porzingis.
-
Brown's three against Utah. I spent a lot of time reading rants about Hayward and the Celtics in Jazz blog, and for me that was redemption.
-
Horford's buzzer beater vs the Blazers and the team's reaction was a highlight for me.

Tatum dunking on LeBron in game 7!
-
Selfishly, this shot by Kyrie against Charlotte in the Garden was my favorite moment because I was there for it.

The end of Game 5 against Philly. Closing them out in 5 was incredibly satisfying.
For the regular season, though, it's Smart's charges against Harden. No question.

thanks for posting those. great you led me into the rabbit hole of celtic highlights for the last hour or so!!! lol
our team is going to be GOOD this year, I can't wait.
-
The confetti game will be a lasting memory for me. I don’t think that gets talked about enough.
Rozier game winning steal and dunk vs. Indy.
Brown posterizing Porzingiz.
Pierce retirement ceremony.
Smart drawing fouls to win game vs. Houston.
Too many to list, honestly. What a season.
-
Some of my fav moments are in this video... kinda long but if you have the time
Jaylen BROWN!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bPDN8yTVMU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bPDN8yTVMU)
don't watch the one where he got injured...
-
Tatum dunking on lebron. I went through the ceiling at 5am on that one
-
Smart drawing the two fouls against Rockets
-
Tatum dunking on Bron, I was watching it in class and even my teacher jumped up on that play (lull post exams so we were watching the playoffs to kill time)
-
So many - I think my honest favorite was Jaylen's game-winner at Utah when we had a severely depleted roster and no real business winning. The play was just gorgeous and run to perfection.

Also loved of course
- Smart's two charges on Harden, plus the Horford bucket in between, to cap our comeback,
- Tatum's G7 Dunk
- The finishes to our 3 last wins against Philly - all of them involved us massively outexecuting them in the clutch
- Horford's game-winner vs Portland
- Kyrie's absurd spinning through double-team shot in Milwaukee
- Rozier's steal and dunk at Indy
- The Golden State comeback and win to extend our streak
And probably about 100 more I'm forgetting. What a season!
-
Tatum dunking on LeBron in game 7!
This.
-
Like many have said on here, Tatum dunking on Lebron, and THEN hitting the go-ahead 3 just about 30 seconds later.
It's too bad after that we went ice cold and they stopped going to Tatum the rest of the game. I really thought after those two Tatum sequences that THIS WAS our night and we'd take Game 7. :(
Instead we got brick-fests from Smart, Morris, Brown, Rozier the rest of the way and CLE was cold too but we were somehow colder...
-
Pierce hitting the three at the end of the LAC game and scoring his last points in the Garden.

That was the 16/17 season. But I agree, that was an amazing moment. Pierce sits all game long, comes in and nails the 3 over Isaiah and the garden explodes. The crowd was so amazing towards Paul that night that I’ve heard Celtics and clippers players say they’ve never seen anything like it.

I had a senior moment. Lol

Celtics 16-game winning streak.
Celtics defense against James Harden.
Celtics comeback against OKC Thunder.
Celtics comeback against Golden State Warriors.
Scary Terry making himself a name against Eric Bledsoe and the Bucks in the playoffs.
Infamous confetti game @Philadelphia during playoffs. Sitting at an Island's Burgers somewhere in LA and I was screaming at the top of my lungs that the Celtics beat them in Game 3 and all these 76ers/LA fans were looking at me in dismay. My girl sitting across from me was laughing and also thought the confetti was stupid. Loved it!
Celtics destroying Cavaliers in Game 1. Sadly I thought for sure the Celtics were gonna win the series after their Game 1 showing, and winning Game 2. But the series took a turn for the worst learning that LeBron forced Game 7.
-
ALL of it, TBH.
Kyrie stepping up and being the focal point once Hayward got hurt.
16 game winning streak.
Another season of Smart's intangibles. He impacted SO MANY games for us positively.
Tatum and Brown stepping up.
Rozier taking the reigns during the playoffs.
Tatum and Brown's play during the playoffs.
Marcus Morris' taunting of Embiid during the playoffs - reminding Joel that we were still up 3 games by holding up 3 fingers in his face lol.
Theis and Baynes stepping up when healthy.
Coach Stevens' nearly unflappable style. He was such a steadying force for this team right after Hayward got hurt.
The snippets from Hayward's recovery...every few months showing us PROGRESS.
Big Al's quiet leadership AND his play versus both Giannis and Embiid. Dude held his own and even made a key steal for us to win game 3 vs PHI in the playoffs.
I know I left somethings out but I am really looking forward to the next several years for this team.
The best is yet to come.

Yep.. had too much faith in the youngsters! Still holding a grudge against Rozier for his terrible decision-making in that game >:(
