Different game back then ...a hard day at the office every game .particularly the eastern conference. ..golden age of the NBA

What a game... so, SO good. And that rad song at 50 mins in... I've gotta know more about this thing!

I've been on an 80's basketball kick lately, and this is one of the BEST so far. I think Parrish deserved a lot more credit than he got back then. What a warrior that guy was! One of my all time favorite players.

1:58:30... isiah missing the whole board like that is... wtf?

Is this the game the always cool head Chief knocks out Lambier?!! He deserved it!!

Rarities-Larry Bird misses a layup, two free throws and air balls a three.

Len Bias tragically never gets to put on that uniform before the season and Wedman/Walton both hardly play at all the whole season off the bench because of injury..Ainge missed 4 games in this series along with Chief missing 1..however a case could be made that nobody was as hurt as McHale who played all 7 games with a fractured foot..classic on paper and because it went 7 that’s about it..Boston gets Bias and everyone else stays relatively healthy Magic and MJ don’t sniff a title until Boston finally gets old or bored

Detroit is lucky they didn't face the Lakers in 1987. It would have been a rout!

4:37 They call travelling on that? Imagine someone from todays NBA trying to play in a game back then. They would get benched after the 3rd or 4th travel call against them.🤣😂

for all the criticism of dantley the pistons offense really stalled when he went out and isiah shot them out of the game at the end if the pistons played dantleys style for the whole game with their whole roster they probably win this series in less than 7 they had this strange fascination with having their guards score from the outside and ball movement the game naturally slowed down in the end and turned into a half court game

If life was fair this team would have won the title...blazing hot and Bird played all 48 minutes and put up 37/9/9...Chief playing through his injuries, McHale on a broken foot, Danny was injured and made huge shots down the stretch...this team was heroic to the end

50:08 That tune alone is worth the price of admission. You should upload that clip by itself.

Chicago was not Detroit's biggest rival it was Boston.

I loved Dantley back then. People in Detroit lost their minds when he was traded. Watching these games 35 years later and after watching the Bad Boys 30 for 30 I realize he was a ball-hog and a malcontent. The offense stopped moving when he got the ball, he took ill-advised shots, and he was only looking out for himself. He was a great player but was not a team player. He wanted to be the guy but the team was built around Isiah.

You have just watched point shaving. If you can't figure this out then understand that this game was a push with the point spread (no bets were paid off).

So...not one of you who has watched this wants to talk about what happened at the 49 minute mark? "First time...since '69"? Am I dreaming? You people from Boston, was that music video an actual thing?

I was at this game...I was 12-years-old and my father took me. It was so hot in the Garden that day that the yellow paint on the railing in front of our seats was melting off. Such a great game.

Rodman is the GOAT!

I love the 80sbasket but the Pistons were that outrageous.

That’s how great Robert Parrish was-he was far better than the bench center even with a severely sprained ankle.

Isiah Thomas as such a fraud. He always tried to sell himself in interviews as this class act but he was the spiritual catalyst for all of the pistons dirty tactics. That cheap shot he took at Ainge at the end was so bush league. Ainge was playing on a bad knee and that helped aggravate it again. Laimbeer wasn’t the only sadist on the pistons. Far from it.

I remember this game. Props to Chief he was hurting.

Hahahah. He said he thinks the heat will hurt the Celtics. 🤣🤣

9 HOF players on both teams combined

Laimbeer was a great player who did a lot for his team, but he was also a jerk on the court and I didn't feel any sympathy for him when Parish smashed him in game 5. If he were seriously injured, yes I would feel sympathy. But it was merely a lesson in court etiquette.

Man, didn't realize how close the Pistons were that year

Bill Laimbeer was quite possibly the greatest center in the history of the NBA. At least that's what he told me.

Bird missed 5 straight shots and many more in the 1st period. He couldn't hit the side of a barn to start out with.

Parish with his bad ankle and also McHale and Ainge hurt and Bird with a messed up back still winning games. These guys out they're bodies on the line every game. Players now days sit out with a bruised finger.

The story of Bird’s AC being on the fritz, and then saying he wouldn’t get it fixed till he was in L.A. is undeniably Larry Bird.

I can't watch the NBA today ..its just a 3 pt shooting contest with some dunks peppered in...They play no defense , travel , don't hustle...Its a joke.. They took the big man out of the game..Its horrible...80s and 90s b ball was great..80s was the best games were so intense and competitive..The fans were even great..the announcers were too...It will never be like that again..its a shame .. I loved these games of the 80s with all the rivalries.....

Detroit fakers with their fake leader I.Thomas

Detroit was the better team. Bird just willed the Celtics here. It was ALL Larry

Red Aurebach is Overrated!

Bill Lambieer literlaly kissed Larry ass shaking his hand!

Damn I miss 80s up to Middle 90s basketball Celtics Lakers knicks Pistons Celtics Pistons and Knicks and pistons those were some Wars as all-time great players not like the soft NBA crap they're playing today

The video quality is making me think I’m on a tilt o whirl lol.

These 87 Celtics were one of the most entertaining defending NBA champs of all time. History can never forget that those C's were the Walking Dead all season: Wedman was out with a broken hand and retired the next year, Walton was out almost the whole playoffs, Parish was limping because of multiple ankle sprains,, Ainge missed the first 3 games of this series with a sprained knees, DJ had a bruised knee, McHale had a broken bone in his foot and was never the same after this series, Rick Carlisle was out, and Jerry Shichting was out with some illness throughout the playoffs, and Len Bias frickin' DIED at the start of the season! Even Larry had double achilles issues and a bad back that only had one year left before needing surgery...and they still made everyone think: "Damn...could they still win it all?" It is ridiculous they won 2 (almost 3) games against those great Showtime Lakers in the 87 finals.

Really good ball 13 min in

I've always said if AD doesn't get knocked out Detroit wins this game.

One of the best series ever. The intro still gets me jacked for the game and I already know who won! lol

RIP Tom heinsohn

So, it basically took a miracle steal by Bird and a concussion by Adrian Dantley (future hall of gamer) for the Celtics to beat the Pistons in 7. The Pistons would have made 4 straight trips to the finals if that doesn’t happen. No one gives the Pistons enough credit. They truly deserve to be considered one of the super teams in the 80s rather than a team that got lucky Bird and Magic got old, and that the Bulls were too young. The bad boys Pistons were truly one of the best and deepest teams the NBA has ever had.

Gold💰

As if his broken foot weren't enough McHale was battling the flu against Milwaukee, and had lost 10 lbs going into this series. At 1:33:08 he looks scary thin and pale.

how many negative things can fat ass say about bird who of course was MVP

I LOVE SEE PISTON LOOSE 💩💩💩💩

On a badly sprained ankle that only got worse this series, Parish followed up a season-saving 23pt 19reb (11 off.) game 7 against the Bucks w/ this tremendous 31/9 effort 2 days later later. Chief was a fierce competitor and without him there are no Celtic titles in the 80's.

And hey, NO POLITICS! ALWAYS GREAT!
