Most Memorable Game?

[GreenFaith1819]

Lots of memorable games for me, too.

I think "The Steal By Bird...Pass to DJ"...game sticks out to me.

Like IP I love that Game winner by Ray Allen off the pass from Truth a few years ago, too - against the Bobcats. I think Tommy Heinsohn really brought that game alive at the end for me:

"Those Bobcats.....they're laying on the floor....Improbable!!"

     Mine has always been Game 7 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals versus Detroit.The series was so heated and Game 7 was a nailbiter. When Adrian Dantley and Vinnie Johnson slammed their heads together knocking Dantley out it was just incredible drama.Those were two actually likeable Pistons but I remember thinking, "Wow we've got a  break here,though."
      Then there was McHale and I believe, Ainge mocking Dennis Rodman with the high step running.

I loved that one too.  One of the most satisfying wins ever.  How I hated that Pistons then.

Another great one of a great series.

Most memorable celtics game?

3...Game 4 comeback against LA in 07-08, in 06-07 when we went INTO san antonio and finally beat the spurs on their homecourt for the first time since the tim duncan draft, and in 08-09 in game 6 against Chicago with the triple overtime loss


Most memorable non-celtic game?

Lebron game winner against the magic in game 2 of 08-09 ecf maybe?  Or maybe the golden state series clincher in that upset against dallas?

I think there is a trend here.

Game 3 against the Nets in 2002 still swirls in my brain.

2008 Finals Game 4 and 6.

[slamtheking]

for me there's 2 that really stand out.
1. the duel in the 88 playoffs between Larry and Dominique.  Bird's will to win was just amazing to see.
2. the unbelievable comback in the 2002 playoffs against the Nets.  Most incredible team effort I've ever seen.

Lots of other great games but those are the 2 that really stand out for me.

1st game I went to - Dino Radja led celtics beat the Minny Twolves - Todd Day went off to tie Bird's points in a quarter record - Dana Barros broke the consecutive games with a 3 record and Dino won it at the buzzer more or less

I loved Dino. Too bad he only played like 4-5 years. He was pretty good player during those lean years.

He basically scored his age... 17pts in 19min? Respectable for a rookie.

On the same night:

Rasheed Wallace: 12min, 2pts, 1stl, 1 blk
Joe Smith: 38min, 27pts, 10reb, 1blk, 2ast, 1stl
Kurt Thomas: 33min, 21pts, 9reb, 2blk

The playoff comeback against the Nets in 2002. Never seen an effort like that and probably never will again.

Game 6 of the finals 2007-2008. Just to be there for #17 was awesome.

Not one game, but watching John Havlicek play in the playoffs with his left hand after hurting his right shoulder. Hondo is my all-time favorite Celt.

[lilbrady012]

one of my fav celtics game of all time, and everytime i watch the youtube clip of it i get goosebumps.
it was the year in 2002 when we went to the conference finals. we played the lakers in the staple center. we were down by 16 with 3+ minutes left.  and we came back, and with 4 seconds left we had the ball down 2. and antoine got the ball and banked it off the glass with .6 seconds or something. then kobe hit a game winner and it was waved off by the refs and celtics got the win. had to be one of the my favorite games ever

[GreenEnvy]

The 2002 ECF comeback and the 2008 clincher are unforgettable, as are game 4 of the 2008 finals and game 7 EC semi's vs. Cleveland.

A few others that come to mind for me:

Celtics rally from early 18-0 deficit to win on buzzer-beater by Pierce.

Pierce out-duels Kobe in the Staples Center.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=260226013

Celts win in OT after being down 5 with 12 seconds left (first game on my first HDTV, set it up just in time for the game).

Celtics finally win in San Antonio and beat Duncan.

Favorite games offcourse NBA finals 2008 games 4 and 6...

But i cant stop thinking about one game nobody has mentioned before...first game of the 1997/98 season...begining of Pitino era...Celtics vs Bulls with Jordan...
Game was on Croatia's nationall television, about 3AM...
First quater, Bulls up 20 points...but C's fought back and won 92-85. I remember being so pumped. Young Walker, Mercer, Billups, McCarty, Bruce Bowen...even Travis Knight looked good that game with veterans Dee Brown and Dana Barros...Men i was having high hopes...
