Abbott (on TrueHoop, of course) mentioned a video I have also noticed.

In Boston they show a long pre-game video on the big screen which has highlight after highlight of great Celtics moments. It's the only time I've ever seen a team tell its fans that there is greatness in fistfighting: Several of the clips are from those battles with the Pistons, mostly involving Larry Bird. They even show Kevin McHale's infamous takedown of Kurt Rambis -- one of the most famously dirty plays in NBA history. And you know what? I suspect that helps the current Celtics. The secret sauce of their dominance is a full-on willingness to raise the intensity maybe a notch or two beyond decency.

Personally, I love this video.  Does anyone have a link to the video on Youtube?  I have tried to search for it before with no luck.

This shows how different the game was back then.  I'm not sure but I don't even think McHale got a flagarant, never mind kicked out of the game or suspended.  That play was 10 times worse than what Baby did to Bob.

"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."
