Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (4 of 5)

[sajeszczewolnenicki]

*to basketball

[sajeszczewolnenicki]

That shows why Kidd is one of the best pg's in the NBA history and how the way he played made game easier for everybody in the team. In my opinion If Kidd passed little later or lower or something like that, Williams wouldn't be able to get a foul so easily In that situation all he had to do was to catch&jump :)

Hah, i just realized I've written 10 lines about one pass... :P I'm probably too addicted too basketball :D

PS. Greetings from Poland and sorry if i made any mistakes :)

...

[sajeszczewolnenicki]

Great comeback, but man, J-Kidd was a genius. Just look at that pass at 0:48, it is nothing special at first sight, but he was double teamed after pick&roll and it was very good double team by the way. I think he could barely see something, falling down, he could decide to make easy pass to the guy on the left or on the right, but somehow managed to find open Williams. And the way he passed - ball was moving so fast and was placed so perfectly that help defense couldn't do much after the pass.

[lilriz1987]

celtics got all the records man

[Kruegerisgod]

comeback of epic proportions.shit celtics are the best

[anulkaqq5]

type "short guy dunks" in the youtube search box to see a 5'5 guy dunking a 10ft hoop

[soaker201]

@anulkaqq5 I see this line on almost every bball related videos lol

[jackiephillipsr]

bodyofwater Im simply a 5'7 hispanic guy and I am able to dunk over people. Everyone could dunk too, just follow the right training course. I followed the 1 that is at 50-inch-vertical(dot)com although pretty much any training prog is good if they have been proven to work which this one is lol

[moris911]

40 points in the 4th quarter... AMAZING

[bodies42099]

rodney rogers was worth giving up joe johnson just for drawing that charge.

[mgalore]

pierce was unfucking believable in this best i ever saw him amazing

[Mavs7189]

Are the Nets really the best that the east could come up with to play against the lakers?? I'd rather have the celtics or pacers play them instead of the nets.

[smittyx3]

i think losing this game problably made the nets owners not care anymore and it was apparent in the 2010 season

[mushrooman538]

@smittyx3 lol wut?

this was 2002 season.

[yokiisthename]

Pierce was crazy aggressive here. hope he returns at least half of it this year.

[rjm22nd]

2002-it could've been Lakers-Celtics in the Finals where we didn't have to wait until 2008 & 2010. But the Celtics blew the 2-1 lead & it was Lakers-Nets instead. But this was during the Paul Pierce-Antoine Walker era,KG was with T-Wolves, Ray Allen w/ Milwaukee, Doc Rivers coaching the Magic & Rajon Rondo was still in high school. If it would've been LA-Boston in '02, it would've been a 4-game Laker sweep just like they did to the Nets.

[louie77]

@rjm22nd no not really...Celtics would have put up a 6 or 7 game series, if not win it...Nets made me sick when they went on just to get swept.

[ytliang345]

lol byron scott

"he intentionally did not talk to his team for a while"

more like he doesnt know what to do... way to waste a time-out

[Kruegerisgod]

Byron Scott has seen the C's in his nightmares.mahahahah

[jasonhenry44]

yo bodyofwater, I am practicing to expand my vertical jump by following the workout program over at 50inch vertical[dot]com - and so far got like over 9-10 inches so far but I'm even now a a little off from dunking the ball It is only my third week so far, any advices?

Boston Celtics Comeback: '02 NBA East Finals Game 3 (4 of 5)

[iamjappyjesus]

Damn, through out the 4th quarter, Celtic's had numerous key steals right after a defensive rebound by the Nets which easily helped them win this game. I love watching this...lol. Good memories.

[BlackaDenBlack]

Antoine Walker wen he was at an All-Star level...and wen he wasnt fat and strictly a jumpshooter. Great 2 see a young, fresh Pierce

[cavalierfan1995]

i was in a bowling alley watching this game and could not belive what i saw go celtics!

[myke679]

they won this game on free throws. all the young ballers out there....practice those free throws. games are lost by 1 point, and the losing team lost say 14 free throws. Kobe dropped 81 bc he made his free throws

[armenia340]

and this is the heart of the Celtics even when they sucked back in the days they still had the heart of the champions when they played

[sportygu123]

THIS is why free throws are important..

[Rodzilla97]

aron williams was the only NJ players that battled in that quarter, he busted his ass. everyone else was horrible. i was so pissed when i watched this live, i was a huge nets fan for years. lookin back this game is classic. now i'm a fan of any team who beats LA (no fav for 09), boston in 08 i loved. 2004 pistons, 06 07 phx, etc. i hate kobe badly

[FireDannyAinge]

What a bunch of BS. You weren't a real Nets fan if you abandoned them when they sucked

[Gastumto]

why?

[celticswwe]

i hate him 2 he never will be like michal

[daihin2000]

some touch foul on kidd late in the game....

[pats14fann01]

Has anyone noticed that the Nets didnt score another point with 2:29 left in the game?

The final 10 pts were scored by the Celtics.

[DonVilla10]

Interesting game......... But the Lakersstill won that year hahahaha

[tubenachos]

Got to be one of the ugliest comebacks in history.

[nakedfist14]

fool

[mjazgun]

true, better was game 4 @ 2008 nba finals muahahah.

[JAYLOVE47]

Boston has some of the loudest fans ever...Philly does too

[Brunovascaino]

Not the most talented team in the world...but EVERY single player on this team had heart, nd knew wut Celtic pride was all about...none of these players will ever be forgotten by the Celtic nation..

[Lana2k6]

7:32 Hey! That's Brian Scalabrine!

[fish014]

not gonna lie this is one of the ugliest lookin comebacks i've ever seen. boston- awful offense getting bailed out with cheap fouls, defense allowing good looks, ball going EVERYWHERE but in the basket, other than free throws (which also barely went in).

cool comeback but ugly as fuckkkkk.

[alextotherescue]

Fish, considering you have a shitty reputation (according to your Youtube channel with all the negative comments at you), your opinion is not needed. Nor will anyone pay attention to your dumb ass.

[fish014]

people get mad because i'm a realist and not afraid to tell the truth about videos. this was an awesome comeback no doubt but really ugly that's all i'm sayin.

[aznplayersz]

agreed.

[griffin15]

this is the first time that I watched this part of the game and I can feel the intensity....

[marrowh]

Wow.

[hbelt247]

haha

[11825code6]

what a whistlefest

[ghettojoe]

wanna know why? because nobody on that team could fucking guard The Truth. So he just blew past em and they fouled him.

[bullsFanLeach]

Its funny watching this because they both won rings without eachother. ( paul and walker)

[bullsFanLeach]

Who was the coach For the C's?

[rlaproductions]

Jim O' Brien

[Cxnmfny30]

Jim O'Brien!

[x34celtics34x]

go celtics

[richman2425]

Celtics would own the Nets if they had Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen on this 01-02 squad.

[Gilligooo]

and just imagine if the celtics had kevin garnett, cp3, kobe, lbj, and d howard!!!! oh dang! (see my point?)

[FlamesXT10]

nets still win then got there asses swept by the lakers, kidd sucks

[jjonah10]

the celtics love victimizing lakers and former lakers,hahaha

[pats14fann01]

hence in this vid. NJ head coach (at the time) was Bryon Scott.... a former laker.

A CELTICS COMBACK ON THE (former) laker ;)

[YouMuseMe]

Celtics = 1st team to come back from 4th Qtr playoff deficit (of 19+ pts) in 172 tries.

Red Sox = team to win a World Series after 86 agonizing long years.

Two teams from Boston. Two great comebacks. The numbers say it: 86 X 2 = 172.

[Caseman99]

Patriots = First team to lose in the Superbowl with a 18-0 record ;)

[halfhoosierhein]

that was a bail-out call at 6:02. bad call.

[axlman5]

kittles did not suck at all. Walker, however, did suck. Nets still won, so ha!

[KOBEMIRICLEMAN]

damn that kittles guy sucks

[Benji411]

CELTICS R THE GREATEST NBA FRANCHISE

[aklemer15]

@Benji411 no doubt

[54spiritedwill54]

i cant understand why the nets weren't ticking down the clock more in this game

[halfhoosierhein]

you can't milk the clock in the nba too early, it's called the SHOT CLOCK. if you wait too long to get going in a possesion, you end up taking bad shots and forcing things up. unless you have john stockton running the show, most teams can't run clock and still be effective

[Benji411]

FUCK U U STUPID FAGGOT

[dwade3213]

at 3:00 walker pointed the wrong way

[SilverSpoons17319]

Is that Todd Collinsworth at 8:39?

[ace11rothstein]

I remember having a migraine and watching this game from the Hollywood Park Casino. I saw the 21 pt lead and I got upset. But at the 3/6 hold'em table, I hit 4 of a kind and got a guy to go all-in. I won that pot and then saw the replay. Suddenly my migraine went away. What a great Saturday.

[PerplexTongue]

all i remember wat a pain in the neck lucious harris and aaron williams was in this series

and martin owned walker on defense..thats why the celtics had no chance to win the series

great yr tho

[sean2015]

That's true. I remember that. With K-Mart constantly in Walker's face, the Celts had no offense.

[jlawrence13]

This 4th quarter was amazing. What a game.

[TRJ22487]

I wish Reggie Lewis could have been on this team

[JamesBeam420]

Kittles' got no skittles.

[b0bbyqsauce]

kittles got no skills

[MattySlick36]

paul pierce...best 4th quarter player

[ronnya415]

lol was that joe forte? 839-840

[jeopardyboy]

who are the commentators?

i know the "puts it in" is mike breen

who else xD?

[TRJ22487]

that's P.J. Carlisemo

[BredsoxG]

nets suck

[ancestron]

hahaha the nets suck.

[georgeboy180]

The eyes of New Jersey were blackened that night. It was just too bad Boston didn't win the series.

[pats14fann01]

I know. This Comeback (which is the greatest the Celtics ever had) took a lot out of the Celtics for the rest of the series. So much for a 2002 NBA Celtic-lakers finals. Also that year was the last gasp for Sacramento... and they failed.

[jeopardyboy]

sigh...those were the days of the Kings.

[pats14fann01]

I know.... it was their best AND last chance to beat the lakers and get to their 1st NBA finals.... and it never happened :(

[Kasenycred]

amazing shit

[Luka2095]

The Nets could never score in the half court, that was their major flaw as a team.

[cire286]

THE EAST PWNS BOSTON ALL THE WAY!!

[mankSandhu]

compare this series to the kings vs lakers you could see how much better the western conference was than the east and it still is

[toddykay]

i think tim donaghy was refereeing this game actually. lol some of the fouls near the end of the game didnt look like fouls at all to tell the truth.

[sicaad]

the celtics will dominate dis year wit KG, x-

Ray, and Double P

[theFmonster]

i cant understand why the nets weren't ticking down the clock more in this game

[sikada]

wasn't it to many fouls in the end?

[Longstacks41]

My nigga P squared

[hstone39]

I was mad as hell when the C's came back.

[TheShowzOver]

ha heelsox, i can't wait for this year, Celtics return to dominance, it's going to be even more crazy than 02

[Heelsox]

dasnypa10...anything to say now?

[Amehl16]

The refs were kissing the Celtics ass during this clip. Not suprising because NBA refs suck. Especially Donaghy, cheating bastard.

[louie77]

not really, the celtics were just so much better than the nets..Nets got lucky Paul Pierce front rimmed a game winning free throw in game 4

[mateoli]

Bring back Antoine Walker! Walker for Ratliff straight up. This is what Celtics basketball should be about. Pure offense. With Allen, Pierce, Jefferson, Green and, maybe, Walker, all hell breaks lose.

[KLM81106]

wow, if only they were in the playoffs this past season...

[dasnypa10]

This is a great effort by that team. Too bad dat they rebuildin now though ya gotta develop da young bucks quickly or else The Truth will finish his career as a loser.......Despite of this

[MaxaMillion711]

Yeah I remember watching this live. I recorded it too. What an amazing game. Just a glimpse of Paul Pierce and we he is capable of doing if he was on a good team.

[alsiii]

pierce

[TheQuestion3]

I'm not a fan of the Celtics but they showed Pride in this game. i really wanted them to play the Lakers in 2002 though

[tblade83]

LOL Wolfman. You fail to realize that back in the old NBA days there weren't 29 NBA teams. So of course Boston kept winning because they probably had the better players. I bet you weren't even born during their days of winning the finals. Just because they also won more "trophies" does not make them the best team. Enough said.

[Wolfman12395]

Whatever you guys say, no matter what, the Boston Celtics are the best team in NBA history with more trophies than anyone. Enough said.

[mrmandelbrot]

Whistle on every possession, turnovers, bricks, jacking up 3s, ugliest basketball period of NBA history.

[dwhite3fz]

shut the fuck up lol

[RunninRams734]

jagaa1, you are a moron. Pierce has had his best statistical seasons the last 2 seasons. He's averaged 25 ppg and 7rb over the last 2 years. But yeah he sucks right? dumbass

[theultimatevideouplo]

jagaa1 = fucktard

[jagaa1]

Wow many phantom calls called by around last minute or so. Pierce is fatter and he sucks now

But props to Antoine

[Congo4life]

wow antone had 5 fouls too

[justblaze3417]

man I miss this team

[mike7552]

yea, where the fuck is tommmy? way to go waltah!

[rmbm31]

the refs helped the celts win it

[theultimatevideouplo]

fuck that comment

[jayman138]

fuck these commentators wheres tommy heinson

[FireDannyAinge]

The Celtics don't need a real leader. They have Paul Pierce HA

[AntoineWalkerFan]

My lasting memory from this game (most of it was a blur. Being in the building we had no clue about Walker yelling at Pierce to wake him up) My one memory is the goaltend call.

I hear it so clearly in my head.lol

[AntoineWalkerFan]

God help us Bob Delaney and JoE Crawford both being refs at this game. The Celtics were lucky to win with those blow hards in charge.

[bribrifry]

this game was amazing

[MavGrl]

Heroic

[cornholio6644]

celtic pride.

[tb516]

Awesome

[mjbacon84]

what a comeback
