This is the team that made me fall in love with basketball. Tears in my eyes watching this beautiful story. 🍀💚

[@buddyacesmxbc1055]

🤢 this is like getting a glimpse of gey sex I wasn't looking for it just seems deliberate so there's a controlling factor behind the scenes and Doc River's is a basketball coach still is like the player's union has some cronyism thing going on the basketball coaches are mostly players true they climb the ranks NCAA but NBA 😂 why do they still have 5 assistant coaches? 😂

I remember watching this game as a kid and crying so hard so happy that they won I was the only Celtic fan in my entire school at the time and forever got bullied for it and when they won I was so happy to see my team win I cried for hours and talked so much shit on Monday and hearing they won today when I was at work almost brought tears to my eyes I love the Boston Celtics to my grave!!!

I almost burned our house down when I lost this DVD. 😂 THANK YOU, NBA FOR UPLOADING THIS! The '08 Celtics is the reason why I've been a Boston Celtics and basketball fan for years. I love their culture and I love the fact that I could relate my personal life to Paul Pierce's basketball career. I know it's like the whole NBA vs the '24 Celtics now, but I don't care as I'm just here enjoying my team. If I could a bit enjoy watching Kris Humphries, you would understand how happy I am for this Celtics team by just making the finals alone. 😂 Win or lose, I'll forever be a Celtics fan! ☘️🏀 #UBUNTU

[@dillonwood3096]

Al horford used to be a party of the Atlanta hawks but he’s been a Celtics for a very long time

[@chinny18]

The most recent Celtics big 3 of KG, Allen and Pierce. Rondo as one of the key players along with Perkins and a good veteran bench. 2 Finals appearances (1 win) vs Lakers but the heartbreak of separation between Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce with Allen left to Miami in 2011 still left wounds to Celtic fans. And yes, Doc Rivers was still relevant before becoming a meme a decade after. Going back, this is the beginning of building the team around the "big 3" this century, a theme that is still re-occurring through this day until the supermax extension happened.

[@TheSportsFanatic]

This 2024 Celtics team is so similar to this one. Both teams acquired gane changing players in the off-season via trade and signed important free agents. Both dominated throughout the season as well. The team work, everyone on the same page, no one player above the team or making it about them. This year just feels different. I know this is our year. The mentality and demeanor is different from 2022 when we faced GS. The time is now and we're gonna get it done. Lets go Celtics ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@andystarkiller7492]

I really disagree people saying L.A was favored 2 to 1 from winning in 2008. The Celtics were the heavy favorites with Allen, Pierce and Garnett. Boston and Dallas were the only teams to beat the Lakers during the Jackson era, Kobe playing at his prime before the 2013 Achilles tendon injury.

[@davidblass9808]

Incredible defensive play effort

[@andystarkiller7492]

What if the Mavs and Boston met in 2011 ? I am sure the Celtics would have been no match against Dallas with Rondo injured. An aging Big 3 during the 2011 NBA playoffs. Dirk would have outmatched them.

If they end up losing, I'll be waiting for the, "Does Boston need to get rid of the Tatum/Brown combo?" talk that they've been saying the last few years

[@BleepyBloopy772]

I wish Tatum had that “it” factor that other stars have in crunch time. I think Jaylen had developed it. If Tatum had the it factor there would not be the talk of splitting the Jays up. I don’t want to split them up. I just want them both to learn how to execute in crunch time so moving forward they can put more accolades on their resume and make Boston proud.

Ray Allen should've been the finals MVP but thay had to give it to Paul for courtesy.

Paul got it, because he stuck with the C’s through all those shit ass years! Paul goes up with all the Celtics greats. Technically, Ray should’ve won MVP, but Ray not a Celtics lifer! I’m glad he didn’t get the mvp

[@iamtherealjazzdoit]

If ray allen doesn't have a 0-13 in game 3 during 2010 finals theres a big chance that they won the 18th banner theres no game 7 against the lakers

[@DrSanto91]

And if perkins did not get hurt before game 7. Easy win for the celtics. And before anyone says anything about the lakers not having Bynum and ariza in 2008. Bynum aside from his rebounding he was ineffective in that 2010 series.

[@iamtherealjazzdoit]

@@DrSanto91i think bynum played good finals series but thats the lakers advantage on the front court in 2010 because in 2008 finals only gasol is their big man on celtics side perkins got injured thats why rasheed wallace played at center and artest had a better series compared to ariza
