    2010 Cavs game 6. No one believed in that team, if only Perk didn’t get hurt SMH.

    Game 4 2008 NBA Finals. That comeback was surreal

    I mean it’s gotta be 2008 Game 7 against Cleveland, Pierce with 41 going back and forth with LeBron’s 45. Beating LeBron, making him run off to Miami. I was just getting into basketball and that game made me fall in love.

    Any game from the 09 playoff series against the Bulls. That’s what got me into basketball

  5. Game 4, 1986 NBA Finals. Only road win in the finals for a team on the shortlist for greatest team ever.

    Oh, you mean the *other* Big 3…

    Game 7 Cavs 08. My dad had season tickets for almost 30 years and that’s the best, most hyped game I’ve ever been to besides the Finals. When Paul was on the ground, squeezing the ball, shaking his fists, the building was literally rumbling.

    The game that single handedly made Lebron abandon his home town. As a Boston fan there’s no other answer than Game 6 against Cleveland in 2010.

    The one where Truth got “hurt” and Leon Powe came in and essentially won us the game while being a #13-15 player on the bench( gm2 I think). It’s like if same Hauser dropped 27 pts 3rd round ECF’s gm 2.

    2012 ECF game 5 at Miami. Massive underdogs and Pierce iced it in Queen Jame’s face

    Game 1 of the 2008 finals, as a kid to see us go down that bad and one of our big 3 leave in a wheelchair, but then return heroically and win the game was like a fairy tale it was amazing. now knowing that he just had to take a shit, it’s become a bit hilarious to me that him taking a shit really turned the Celtics game around.

    Game 3 of the 2011 ECF against Miami. I was a fan already but it was mostly because when I started watching coincided with the big3 so the Celtics and Lakers were the teams we would get in ESPN in Brazil. So I got to cheer for the Celtics basically because of their games being earlier. Rondo became quite quickly my favourite player, but it still was mostly because of Rondo and KG instead of the Celtics.

    I remember vividly one of the ESPN commentators (Brazilian one) saying that Rondo getting back in the game was the type of things you’d expect from a player playing for the Celtics. I spent the next few days learning about the Celtics history and how you expect players to be like that, being these gritty annoying defensive oriented guys. That made me a Celtics fan truly.

    The Lebron/Pierce game. My dad and I were in attendance and it’s the best game I’ve ever seen in Boston hands down

    This isn’t exactly what you asked for but when the 2012-2013 team went down to the Knicks, I remember turning the radio station I was so mad, thinking that this can’t be the end of this era, not like this. I was in the car for a while and put it back eventually just in time for that last run, and i remember going absolutely crazy during the comeback, and even though they didn’t win it, they went down swinging. That sticks out to me more than any other win really.

    An individual game is Paul Pierce hitting the dagger in Lebron’s face after going like 5-23 from the field in 2012 to make us go up 3-2. I know LBJ went God mode afterwards but that game was insane because it was looking like the Heat were going to not win a ring for the second season in a row.

    That game 6 LBJ performance changed the course of his career.

  15. bootyholebrown69

    That finals game 4 comeback of course

  16. Re-Brand

    Gotta throw game 3 ‘08 ECF against Detroit in there
