[LongTimeFan]

In no particular order:

Pierce's knee injury and return.

Bird's stealing of the inbounds pass and DJ's layup.

Havelcek stealing the ball.

Russel - Chamberlein as a Laker battle.

The game Heinsohn shut the Philly fans up.

What say you?

There are so many great moments in the history of the Celts its hard to choose just five. I'll leave that to the experts.

Don Nelson's foul line jumper that bounced straight up and dropped right down through the rim with one minute left in game 7 of the 1969 finals to win the championship. It was Russell and Sam Jones' last game. The balloons stayed in the rafters at the LA Forum.

When McHale Clotheslined Rambis @ The Forum in game 4 in 1984----That single play turned the entire series around and the C's won Banner no.15

The 1980's Lakers were well-known for fastbreak. Larry Bird's fastbreak dunk on them in 1984.

Walker shouted in Pierce's ear during the huddle that triggered the greatest comeback in the NBA history against New Jersey in 2002.

Celtics battling Phoenix in two overtimes to win the 1976 championship.

McHale clotheslined Rambis with no flagrant call.

Parish knocked down Laimbeer with two punches and didn't get ejected.

[Egregious Blunder]

the comeback against the nets has to be in there i think.
