That last play against Harrington is probably the epitome of the isolation play in a star-centered league. As much as I hate isos, I love that particular play.

he was definitely thinner back then

i really miss the playoffs

that series against the pacers
the first round series when we destroyed Philly in game 5 was awesome
the pistons series where we won 4 in a row

it was just a fun stretch to be a celtics fan...if it wasn't for the nets....

...we would have still been in the finals

and conventional wisdom says we get swept, but we stole a victory against them at home that season

Well, fair enough. But there's something in me that doesn't want to get wrecked by the Lakers in the finals. Losing is one thing, getting embarrassed is something else.

was that the game where Walker banked in a three? That was the funniest win I have seen in a while

I never get sick of watching those highlights because I was at that game. Still one of my favorites to this day. I was sitting 2 rows behind the Pacer's bench (right behind Artest's dad) and I remember Antoine almost getting in Isiah's face. We were screaming, "this is payback for the All Star game Isiah" and giving the "reeegie, reeegie" chant all game. Good times had by all.
