Mike & Tommy. I miss you

0:11:07 That was out on Kareem !!

This is one of the greatest, most fiercely fought series in NBA history.

Great upload, haven't watched this one yet, thanks.

After winning that OT game in Milwaukee, to go up 3-1, the Celtics blew their entire postseason to smithereens by losing Game 5 in Boston, which of course meant an automatic loss in Game 6 in Milwaukee, and then having to come back from 10 down, late in the 4th quarter in Boston to win. If they won Game 5 at home, Boston would've had much more rest for the Detroit series, and I think would've won it in five or six games. They would've been more rested and healthier for the Lakers in The Finals. They wouldn't have beaten LA that year, even if Bias lived, Walton and Wedman were healthy, and McHale didn't have a broken foot, but they likely would've had much better showings in The Forum, instead of getting absolutely run off the court, in all three games in LA. Gotta close games out at home, when the opportunity arises.

The NBA went from tape delayed games play multibillion-dollar industry. 💵

The Bucks would end up trading Mickey Johnson for Phil Ford the next season. Mistake!

Magic was a great clutch player, carried the team on his shoulders, only cared about winning. He was a winner. Simply great. LeBron - is a zoomer BUM.

No stupid rap or music during the game, just actual pure basketball. NBA is a pos now. Players are pos.

This is the NBA

Honestly I'm a sixers fan but when I started watching basketball in 88-89 I started watching Detroit and loved them, my favorite player was Vinny

A era de ouro do basquete!

Damn….i came here for the late night movie.

I miss these Lakers greats

Kevin McHale was still healthy here but a month later, he suffered a broken foot against Phoenix and that essentially ended the Celtic's chance to repeat in 1987. McHale played the rest of the way and despite posting decent numbers, he was never the same player. Even with a crippled McHale and Parish with a badly sprained ankle, the Celts still managed to take an awesome Lakers team to 6 games in the NBA finals. After Bias's death, the Celtics just had an endless run of bad luck with constant injuries, bad draft choices and especially the death of Reggie Lewis.

Crazy part both teams almost put up a hundred points each only shooting 3 combined 3 pointers where it is in todays NBA teams are putting up the same point totals jacking up 50-60 3 point shots a games. There are no fundamentals being taught anymore reason why the NBA will go bankrupt very soon.

Época boa essa em que se ia à quadra de terno e gravata. Além do excelente basquete jogado dessa época, eu sinto falta desse jeito de se vestir. A NBA de hoje mais parece um carnaval do que um jogo de basquete.

Well the shooting is painfully bad compared to the modern nba, but the fast breaks and defense are way better. Some observations. 1. Kareem is way better than people remember. Not only the skyhook but a great rim protector. 2. The Celtics are absolutely ferocious at rebounding. 3. Neither Bird nor DJ had a great series in this one, so don’t judge either player by what you see here. 4. Bird is hard to judge as a defensive player because when he gets isolated on the score, yet he comes up with tons of blocks and steals. 5. The Laker forwards were really their secret weapon

They need to play what Wes Unseld said about playing every game,in pain as well in making at the time “ Hundred of thousands dollars” in the general person not trying to hear their whining to these spoiled millionaires,freaking babies.

fck'n ticky-tack fouls called

Now this is real NBA basketball!

Lakers mopped the floor with them that night, thanks for the upload

Magic got the player of the Decade the second year of the decade.

Will never forget!!

Jordan- 52 pts, 9 reb, 4 stl, 2 blk, 83% FG. Barkley- 42 pts, 16 reb, 2 stl, 1 blk, 72% FG

thank you. i hope you got more games from 91 and 92. keep it up!!!

I was at this game as a younger kid! I’m 50 years old now but I still remember how energetic it was!

Dude your a gem for posting these. Whenever i get the basketball jones you got something for me. Which the current nba does not.

Heinson was so mad after the lakers got Mychal Thompson from the Spurs for Peter Gudmundssen and Mike Smrek.

It hard to put steph over zeke base on u see the competition in the 80 curry championship one had the best team manufacture and doing it through the draft stayin with one team

As an avid Boston Celtics fan, I have always detested the Lakers with a burning passion. However, I fully admit that Chick Hearn is the greatest announcer in the history of sports. SO much better than the Celtic's longtime announcer, Johnny Most, who I never liked at all. Mike Gorman was much better than Johnny Most, but, Hearn is simply the best.

Back in the '80s everybody would watch the playoff games. You could hear people throughout the neighborhood reacting to almost every play. What a decade. Gotta love Mychal Thompson. Solid player and person

I hated the NBA on NBC. It was a constant, slobbering love fest for Michael Jordan. I think Ahmad Rashad got a giant tattoo of MJ on his chest. The NBA on CBS, in the 80s, were SO much better.

You gotta love Pistons' defensive work... even in 90/91.

Chuck Daly saw the ship was sinking and got outta there to coach the Nets!

Man, what a great era of the NBA so many superstars on each team.

Bob Costas sucks.

Just think how the Spurs would’ve benefited from having Rodman when Duncan got there. Too bad they ran him off right before that. It would’ve been awesome.. Robinson Rodman Duncan!

What a great game what a great clip. Still in the middle of the best era of the NBA.

Thank you SO much for these mid 80s Celtics games. There's nothing I love watching more. The NBA on CBS was the greatest, especially those openings. I hated it when they changed to NBC, when it just became a 24/7/365 Michael Jordan love fest, brought to you by Ahmad Rashad. 🤮🤢🤮🤢

The Refs have been the real stars for a long long time, what a game 🏅📯🏅

Damn zeke should have set out the whole year his wrist wasn't heal

Great intro!!!

Looked funny Pat Riley was announcing the game instead of coaching the Lakers

RIP Steve “Snapper” Jones and Chuck Daly

lowkey brad sellers was the proto type scottie pippen for Mj, Almost like Eddie jones then kobe took over

This was the only game in the only season Pat Riley was at NBC that he did in-game color commentary. Usually this duo with Bob Costas did the studio. It was said Dick Enberg (the other main caller for NBC's first year in this 12 year setup of televising the NBA) was in Europe (either for NBC or leisure) for a preplanned trip. NBC made a last minute decision (before the season started) that Dick Enberg would be the other main play by play guy for the NBA on NBC (Marv Albert being the other) and Bob Costas would host the studio show with Pat Riley. Interesting, NBC Sports voiceover perona, Les Marchak is doing the narrating on this game (still works for NBC), this was before the late Jim Fagan took over.

I was watching and all the games of the NBA Finals in June when I was only 12. The Celtics was my team but the Lakers was so fun to watch (not against Boston though) in the open court so many times. Magic's halfcourt ringer to end the third turned out to be the difference. Big time players make big time shots in big time games. Both had identical 37-12 records on this day. And it led to LA getting home court in the Finals. The Lakers only lost to Boston once in the 80's in the '84 season. And after that they owned Boston from 1985 on. I don't know if Boston could have beaten them if they got past the Rockets in the 1986 playoffs. This was when players not only deeply cared about all the games of the season but they played it with such fire, intensity and poise. Highlights worth watching over and over and over again. And I sure will be.

In defense of today's NBA, this was a Must-See Matchup. If CBS showed Spurs-Bullets it wouldnt have been as great.
