This video has made my day, I missed it last night. I really, really loved watching this.

I get Hawks highlights.

I've been one to kill Allen over him going to the HEAT. It was the ultimate betrayal when both teams we're in the middle of a rivalry. He was a turncoat and traitor.

However, after this show I think it's time to put it all to rest. I would've rather had seen him come on the show and have a airing out on camera and everyone come together. It would've put them all in a better light. I just think having this show made these guys look even worse.

They only won 1 title, it's not like they had a dynasty. If anyone was going to be left out...to me it would be Doc. LOL

Just went through the whole segment and I legit enjoyed every second of it. Best thing I've watched in a long time, very very cool they did this I couldn't stop smiling.

Loved this so much, watched every video on youtube. Awesome guys. Perk is really funny and pretty smart too!

I love those guys (mostly) as Celtics and I place Garnett at #4 in terms of most important/greatest Celtics of all time along with Russell, Cowens and Bird because I look at the backbone players of each championship group.

I also love Perk and will never get over Ainge letting him go because the guy was all Celtic and because I still think we win the title in 2011 if we keep him.

Having said all that - and I'll get blasted for this I'm sure - but is it too much trouble to sit up straight, tuck your shirt in, tie your shoes and speak clearly ? I know it is all about being cool, but being cool is part of the problem in our society. It has become more important than having character and integrity. Young kids do not see the work ethic these guys have or, necessarily, their character. They see the jewelry and the slouch and the mumbled language as being something to aspire to.

Yeah, I know. "Get off my Lawn."

Marquis Daniels going down that year was big. I don't think Ainge would have went after Jeff Green during the season if Daniels was still able to play. That's not to say he wouldn't have moved Perk, though.

I still think he wouldve moved Perk regardless. It was a classic Ainge sell-high.

I don't think they're trying to be cool. The set up was a sofa, recliners, and wheelchair with a tv showing highlights. They're just sitting back relaxing and reminiscing on good times

Yes, Ainge, sell high ................... and blow a title opporunity. That group was supposed to be about a short window to win a couple of titles after the acquisition of Allen and KG in 2007. Sooooooooooooo, that window was still open in 2011, so you go for it.

All the talk about Perkins' decline after leaving Boston is misleading. Of course, he wasn't a great player in OKC. But he was a very good player on that Celtics team because his skills fit perfectly into what they needed. Ainge was so anxious to go quick & small that he jumped the gun and gave up our one advantage over the rest of the league - defense & interior toughness. Replacing Perk with soft Jeff Green just made us another team playing the same style as the others. We lost the edge we had over Miami at that point.

Plus, as you can see from this video, these guys had a special bond that also gave them an advantage. Laugh all you want at the notion, but how do you think Russell and his guys won in '68 & '69 - Guts & Pride Baby !!

I don't think ainge was desperate to go small. Its that we had like 4 centers that year. Shaq diesel JO and semi were service-able

[iadera]

I really think that after this show without hard feelings towards RayRay, their full reunion should happen.
