Greatest Fourth Quarter Comeback in NBA Playoff History - 2002

Greatest First Quarter Comeback in NBA Finals History - 2008

The Boston Celtics... the Greatest Team in NBA History - 1946-Forever

You know, I may be too young to have seen the championships of the 80's, but I feel really proud that at only 20 years old, I've gotten to witness the two greatest comebacks in finals history, and they were both by the team that I was rooting for.

I think it literally was not coincidental, in that one of things Pierce said at half-time was "I've done something like this before."

I also think it was not coincidental in the way you meant it -- Pierce is an all-time great player in spurts, just not as consistently as Jordan, Bird, et al.

Frankly, another thing that helped the team have confidence is that they'd seen the Lakers get back 22 points in 7 minutes, just two games earlier.

That's a stat I love to see.

Bulls vs Blazers game 6 1992. Bulls came back from 15 down in the 4th to win. Biggest comeback ever in finals history in a quarter.

Fixed. This isn't about the Chicago Bulls though. With that being said..

I love the Boston Celtics, I can't believe I slept through Game 4, when are they replaying it? T0rrent = too slow.
