1968/69 Boston Celtics (Un)Official Thread 

Post#1 » by 70sFan » Tue Jun 20, 2023 5:48 pm

Hello there :D

During the last two years, I collected a substantial amount of 1968/69 Boston Celtics footage. It is still not that much compared to what we'd like to see, but I remember times when all we had was the 4th quarter of the final game of this amazing team. We went very far from that in my opinion.

Anyway, here is the list of all the footage I have from that season and I will upload each clip per day or two (depending if anyone shows interest):

Date Home Away Time (hh:mm:ss)

29.11.1968 Boston Celtics LA Lakers 00:16:23
06.04.1969 NY Knicks Boston Celtics 01:00:18 (full game)
14.04.1969 NY Knicks Boston Celtics 00:02:14
29.04.1969 Boston Celtics LA Lakers 00:14:23
01.05.1969 LA Lakers Boston Celtics 00:30:47
03.05.1969 Boston Celtics LA Lakers 00:02:02
05.05.1969 LA Lakers Boston Celtics 01:20:36 (2nd half + parts of 1st half)

Always good to see more Russell/Chamberlain matchups. Curious to see him play against the Bullets and match it with my memory of grainy UHF TV and radio.

Any of the Lakers film would be vastly appreciated (and any in general! Thank you for your effort and for sharing :D
