Okay as far as I am concern, the greatest Boston Celtic game ever was the triple over time game Five of the 1976 NBA Finals against the Suns...Here is an account of that game...http://ww1.sportsline.com/b/member/history/greatmoments/celtics.htm

Anyone else have a best Celtic game ever?

Well, the one you mention probably is the best, but for the sake of actually adding something to the conversation, how about the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 7? Boston beat the Sixers 110-109 in that game, thanks largely to John Havlicek. Heck, even the call by Johnny Most by itself is legendary: "Havlicek stole the ball!"

Welcome Manny...Yeah, I Hondo was a great player...he was none stop motion...they say he would run at least 7 miles in a typical game he played 40 minutes in.

Celtics fans would have to say that was the greatest game ever, while Boston haters could point to the 1974 (I think) playoff final game that Jabbar won with a 15 foot hook shot from the corner for Milwaukee. Boston then went back to Milwaukee and won the title in Game Seven. The Phoenix game featured ex-Celtic Paul Westphal, who is vastly underrated as time passes. he and Havlicek played two of the greatest games in NBA history that night, and awful ref Richie Powers caught a beating from an irate fan. What could have been better?
