Been reflecting on some of my favorite playoff moments. I can think of so many! JB game tying 3 was awesome. KP’s return in game 1 is the most hyped I’ve been for a game this season. Payton Pritchard coming off the bench making big plays as well. Curious what everyone else’s favorite moments were.

KP was electric game 1 of the finals. It shows how game changing he can be.
The KP run at the beginning of Game 1
PP’s half court shot in game 5 for me probably. I went from super anxious to “oh shit we’re winning this thing”
Holiday’s steal against the Pacers and KP in game 1 of the finals are the first to come to mind
Definitely KP Game 1
A sneaky one is the Tillman 3 and Jaylen dunk in G3 capping off our best quarter of the season with the bench going nuts
After those plays I was like wow we are actually winning a title
I’ll give an honorable mention for when Derrick White went on a fuckin bender against the Heat. I forget which games, but he was on fuckin FIRE
It has to be that buzzer from JB.
I can hear the bannnng from here.
Favorite moment probably White’s 3 to seal the sweep against Pacers or Brown’s clutch bucket on THJ in G3 against Mavs. Or maybe Tatum’s behind the back pass to Al in the corner after he drew 2 defenders on the drive. So many lol
Jaylen Brown 3
KP game 1, game 3 comeback against the Pacers, PP buzzer beater, JB game tying 3, Jrue steal, Derrick torching the Heat.
White and brown’s block on PJ Washington to seal the game.
All were great moments!!
Oddly, I think it was Al saving the ball and drilling Dean Wade. It just capped off such a magnificent Al game and for whatever reason I feel like that was the moment when I knew we were winning it all. Like, if all of our guys were going to have moments like this, we were unstoppable.
EDIT: Plus the photo was just epic.
Sneaky pick is the Tatum to Al behind the back pass on the 18pt comeback win against Indy, and the Jrue steal to cap the W.
Payton half court buzzer beater in game 5. I literally don’t think I’ve ever been that excited watching basketball in my life. Insane.
The 4th quarter of game 5 against the Mavs
I hope they make the JB shot into a timeless moments card
Why doesn’t anyone talk about Derrick white’s block on Lively at the rim? That had me HYPE.
Watching everyone pick Dallas lol
This one
All great but KP running the floor has to take it. His blocks in transition were ruthless.
PP’s shot to end the half was the defining, “ok, this is actually going to happen” moment. I went from anxious and nervous to pure bliss. We all knew it was a wrap after that.
Brown x Pacers
There are about 20 plays from this post-season that will be my favorite…depending on the highlight I’ve seen most recently
For impact, JBs 3 in game one. For sheer elation, my man Pritchard’s half court in game 5
JB’s 3-pointer changed the whole series.
Al’s game 5 against Cleveland. Felt like there was so much worry during that series about him struggling during extended minutes with KP out and he just put all of it to bed. The smiting of Dean Wade and the celebration after the goodnight 3 were such “this is the year” moments, I’m so happy for him.
that minute and a half at the end of the 1st in game one was pure celtics euphoria. JT and Sam hit 3s and KP exploded to give them a 37-20 lead
Jaylen’s 18 footer in game 3 was the most clutch shot of the whole run
Game 3 JB dunk at the end of the third quarter was pretty epic
1. PP’s halfcourt in game 5.
2. I can’t find the clip but Al Horford’s 9000 IQ inbound save that he bounced off of someone’s leg to retain possession. Felt like a big moment in that game. Anyone know which play I’m talking about?
Honorable mention: Sam Hauser playing dead for the entire playoff series only to start hitting catch-and-shoot threes against the Mavs when they stopped guarding him.
