Celts played Christmas Day in New York, up 25 at the half and then go out and lose it. Their was widespread panic in the media and fan base. That turned out to be the turning point of the season. They destroyed everyone after that.

Different team, different players, different era. Point is it's way too early to panic. Yes, they have work to do, maybe even some roster changes.

It makes for great talk, especially on CelticsBlob. But it's way early. This team is still dominant, has the best record in the league, and is a favorite to win it all.

GO CELTICS!

Summer of 1986.  :)

Losing the christmas game isnt what made me panic a little....it was the 2 other losses on the trip that were troubling...losing to an elite team on the road who is desperately looking for 'revenge' and still having a chance to win at the end isnt anything to be worried about....losing double digit leads to 2 crap teams was the concern

Now we can deduce your age, Redz.

Yeah, I was on my honeymoon on the Cape when the news came down about Len Bias' death. Gosh, that was really bad.

No secrets here!

I guess Istrayed form the intended topic a bit, but suffice it to say, 1986 was a very memorable year for me.

One other classic sports memory from `86 was driving down to TF Green Airport on a school night with a couple of friends to greet the Patriots as they returned triumphantly from Miami with their first AFC championship.

I still have that VCR tape of that victory in the Orange Bowl. It was my favorite BB Patriots moment as we never had won in Miami before Jan. 18, 1986. The SB XX beatdown could never tarnish that moment. I think I will give you a Tommy just because.

TP back at ya for being an older fart than me!

That Pats team was amazing.  They just kept forcing huge turnover after huge turnover.
