HHHEEEEYYYYY!!! So, is that Joe "Cas-tig-lee-own" that's calling the game with Johnny Most? If not who is it? I can't remember who this is?

@VrgniaMailman lol fair enough, I'll be looking forward to that trivia question

@sean2015 All of what you said factually about the Boston Garden was true, but the prime reason the Celtics ran off a 40-1 record at home in 1985-86 was because of the team and the fans, not the building!! Yes, having that unique building helped them, but not all that much. By the way, Sean, I will send you a trivia question to your youtube inbox.

@VrgniaMailman The old Boston Garden was tiny (it was built in the 1920s and was originally intended primarily for boxing matches) so the noise levels were amplified by the compactness of the arena. Plus the place had no air-conditioning and even the heating in winter was iffy. It gave the Celtics a tremendous home-court advantage and that is why to this day, they are the only team to achieve a regular season home record of 40-1 (that coming during the 1985-86 season).

@SoftBank47 One of Johnny Most's most memorable calls for a regular season game occurred some time during the 1972 or '73 season. Celts were down 1, there was no 3-point rule, and had been outplayed at Boston. But John Havlicek hit a long shot at the buzzer to win it. Bob Ryan was the beat reporter covering the Celtics for the Boston Globe newspaper, and after describing the game, he closed his article with, "They had to scrape Johnny Most off the ceiling." LOL

@sean2015 Yes, it was. And yes, the Cap Centre, as it was called, was on the cutting edge of sports arena technology. It opened in Dec. 1973 or so, and Frank Sinatra was one of the (if not THE) very first shows. But even though the seats were more comfy and the views were unobstructed, it couldn't hold a candle to the old Boston Garden for generating basketball excitement. Of course, the Celtic fans had a lot to do with that, too. Celtic fans are awesome. As were the Celts.

@C10WOODY especially Home Team Sports play-by-play announcer Mel Proctor (who was a good guy, by the way), was/were absolutely morose a few seconds after the game was over. Mel was so sure that the Bullets were going to win .... it was fabulous for this Celtics fan, although it is great to hear Johnny Most go apeshit as usual in this version!!! Also, there was one elderly Bullets fan waving his cane around in anticipation of the Wash. victory, but #33 spoiled his party!! Funny!

@C10WOODY I was at this game!! Yes, it was called correctly as a 2-point shot, but as John19182004 commented, the Celts were down only one, so they won by one. But the shot had to go in, or the Celts would have lost. The entire crowd, fans of each team, left the Capital Centre in awe that night. Bird hit about 4 tough bombs late in regulation, late in the first OT, then the game winner to win it. Another thing that was fabulous was that I had taped the game, and the Bullets announcers,

Johnny Most and Gus Johnson both commentating together would be epic.

Yeah that was THE way to watch the Celtics back in the day! I LOVED Johnny's unbiased calling of the games...LOL.

Did else anyone notice that it looks like Malone stepped out of bounds on the play that gave Washington the lead? If you watch the replay it certainly looks like he did.

I never looked at that - but on that second replay it does appear that he did step on the line. No worry - Bird killed them!
