– 2023 Derrick White vs Miami R3G6: This could have been arguably top 3 all time (if not the greatest) Celtics playoffs buzzer beater or even game winners if we won game 7. Had Tatum not got hurt the first possession we win the series and make history by being the first team coming back from 3-0. Who knows we advance and win a championship. Game winner itself was crazy.
– 2022 Jayson Tatum vs Bkn R1G1: This was a sick game. We had lost the lead while Kyrie going crazy. He then gives the crowd the middle finger and mocks them then Tatum hits a game winner. Magical season too. Start of something special.
– 2017 Avery Bradley vs Cleveland R3G3: Significance was that Isaiah Thomas got hurt this series we didn’t really have him. I think the GW showed us we could win without him obviously not a whole series though. That was the year his sister Chyna passed away and Avery is good friends with him who made sure he was by his side. Felt like he won it for him.
– 2010 Paul Pierce vs Miami game R1G3: Classic The Truth step back game winner.
– 2009 Glen Davis vs Orlando game R2G4: This game sort of showed us we could really rely on Big Baby. I remember in 08 he was a rookie and Kg’s backup so we couldn’t always trust him. KG got hurt in 09 and Big Baby played significant minutes in his absence. I was a kid at this time and this game showed me we could really trust big baby. I’m sure Celtics fans felt the same way as me. A fan favorite!
Let me know if I missed any.
(Strictly buzzer beaters. So ray Allen 2009 game 2 vs Bulls don’t count. Ray Allen game 1 vs Knicks 2011. Multiple Pierce clutch Ft’s. Bird going crazy against Indiana. Kemba bubble vs raptors etc)

peak scary terry.
Tatum. That sweep was a very “close” sweep, and I really do feel that if we lost that game, the series would look completely different. Maybe we still win but it would go at least 6, probably 7. That game gave us all the confidence we needed.
Also if we’re gonna be technical about being strictly buzzer beaters, then Bradley’s shouldn’t be here because there was 0.1 left on the clock.
[Miracle Milt Palacio](https://youtu.be/gVS6ZKBRNOE?si=Or3-aBphaeVxjLly). It was a meaningless season, but man that was a great buzzer beater.
The buffalo tip in would be legendary sports history if we had shown up in game 7.
Still breaks my fucking heart.
I’m a decently young fan but I’d say Derrick White’s GW. After Smart throws up a three and misses I lost all hope…till the Buffalo of Boston puts it right back in!!
Has to be the buffalo. Even though we didn’t win the series it was fun seeing heat fans shitting themselves for a day.
Not a buzzer beater but feels like one, pierce over Al Harrington while they are yapping trash at each other.
