You must not be old enough to remember the 90's Celtics. The Dino Radja era. 😞 The deaths of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis crippled them for years. Great vid though.
@@Shells_Clips Go watch some videos of the Celtics after Reggie Lewis passed away. Those were some hard times. Watching an aging Dominique Wilkins with Sherman Douglas and Dee Brown make the playoffs was the only bright spot until the team drafted Toine and later on Pierce.
@@TheRealMRGG85 Todd Day, Pervis Ellison, Dwayne Schintzius and Chris Corchiani says it all. The best free agent acquisitions during that time were aging superstars in Xavier McDaniel and Dominique Wilkins.
Only for the true fans. I was a fan since 08 and it was heartbraking trading away KG, the Truth and then Rondo. But it was best for business, Ainge knew what he was doing. But I remember watching those games and it was horrendous. Still there were some highlights. Jamal Crawford playing like a all-star for 2 and 1/2 months, Sullinger being labelled the next Kevin Love, Jeff Green always promising and never delivering, Evan Turner reclmation project. Avery Bradley being a absolute menace on defense, and the team always competing even when losing. Brad Stevens's schemes were always fun to watch, it were rough times but now we reached the mountain top again. Thank you Brooklyn for the picks :)
1995-2007 was the most brutal stretch of Celtics basketball in history. They did have a couple of decent seasons in the early 2000s with Pierce and Walker. Those late 90s teams before Pierce were unwatchable and we didn't even get Tim Duncan for our troubles.
In my defense, I only started watching the Celtics in 2007, but I was born in 99. So I couldn't watch those old teams, but my old man has educated me on them! I never lived through them myself, but I've seen my highlights of the Pierce and Walker led Celtics!
Thank God Trader Danny outsourced the rebuild to the Nets. I dreaded another 90's dark ages. Brad was also no Pitino. Despite the early struggles, he's actually an excellent coach.
The 96-97 team was 15-67 They were the worst... Todd Day Dana Barrows Rick Fox, it was Antione Walkers rookie year when he was the best that we had followed by prob David Wesley, Eric Williams Rick Fox and Dino Radja....Dino was actually a beast when he could stay healthy...he was a walking double double...He went back overseas after 96-97 and is actually in the Basketball Hall of Fame
i think about those 2013/14 celtics a lot, and i still enjoyed them but i could understand being disappointed as a spoiled 14 yr old who had only seen the team succeed at a high level. it was a fun ragtag group of guys. phil pressey was probably the worst player that i ever enjoyed watching. he was straight up bad but he worked so hard out there as by far the shortest player on the court. they did turn this group of misfits into a genuinely entertaining amalgamation of mediocrity the season after, with "fan favorites" jerebko and evan turner coming in (damn i loved ET) and the midseason trades of rondo for jae/wright and bringing in pre-peak IT. thats when the brad stevens magic really started showing. dude had tyler zeller looking like a capable center for a sec. loved that gang. watching the team evolve through the post-pp/kg years and seeing it all come together now has been awesome. these stepping stone years are a joy to look back on imo.
I completely agree. After that season, I started watching the Celtics not expecting them to be competitive and having fun with it, building a connection to the players. Jerebko is still one of my favorite players to this day. Smart became the heart and soul of Boston. Zeller, Kelly, Bradley, Turner, I never expected them to be stars but I loved them for the role they played. So I completely agree with you.
@@Shells_Clips i dont know how i completely neglected to mention smart's rookie year. he was my favorite on the team through his tenure. sometimes tough decisions have to be made
1:00 "The Celtics went from a Dynasty, to selling off their old, but good pieces." I'm a huge Celtics fan, and love KG and Pierce, but we were definitely not a Dynasty.
Had to keep the audience watching with a joke. My personal opinion on Ray Allen is I like him. Did a lot of good things in Boston. I didn’t mean it, just a joke to keep the audience engaged
@@Shells_Clips ok i respect that! don't need to sell out to appease others. ray is a legend, and the team tried to move him several times before he left.

good video man, loved it. happy we finally won!
My guy! I appreciate the love on the video!
How could you forget the Jeff Green game winner over the Heat. I guess, only real ones know.
Boston legend cause of that shot!🫡
Uhh he had the clip of him hitting the shot in the video.
Yup 25-57 learning how to lose and still coming together as a team no egos just go out there and play your games.
@AD-vf3ek
Gerald Wallace made that Green shot happen, too
Hey man Phil Pressey is actually on our 2024 Coaching team, he's a Champion now with us.
I actually did not know this. I will put some respect on his name 😂
The fact that the Celtics missed the playoffs only 1 season in the past 16 seasons is impressive.

The Celtics had some guys that played for the team in the 90s that had no business playing at all.
I appreciate the love my friend, you gotta forgive me I was born in 99 so 07 and 14 are the worst I've ever seen personally!
@@Shells_Clips Go watch some videos of the Celtics after Reggie Lewis passed away. Those were some hard times. Watching an aging Dominique Wilkins with Sherman Douglas and Dee Brown make the playoffs was the only bright spot until the team drafted Toine and later on Pierce.
That's what I was thinking when the video was titled the worst years of the Celtics and it didn't start off in the 90s I was confused

Brooklyn definitely helped speed up the process!
"I only remember the Celtics winning" - let me tell you about the mid to late 90s, son....
and the 2005 -2007 seasons
1995-2007 was the most brutal stretch of Celtics basketball in history. They did have a couple of decent seasons in the early 2000s with Pierce and Walker. Those late 90s teams before Pierce were unwatchable and we didn't even get Tim Duncan for our troubles.

Couldn’t have said that better myself
I remember this team lol 😂 I had league watching them
It was so good to see the Celtics finally win it all. I shed some tears of joy, particularly for the likes of Al Horford
He deserved it years ago but I’m so glad we got it for him now!
I started watching the Celtics in 1981. I understand your pain.
I saw this team play in Phoenix. Even though the Celtics loss, it was still fun to see the Celtics play in-person.
I'm in Denver I know the feeling!

You're right but they had potential to be. If they win in 10 are we calling them a dynasty?
Wrong
We got rid of old pieces that didnt work
Jt an jb are the face of the franchise
Rajon Rondo was a role player who was mistakenly considered to be a franchise player.
You watch your damn mouth! We do not tolerate any Rondo hate around here!
@@Shells_Clips I don't hate Rondo. I am a Celtics fan since 1979 but reality is a reality.
Go Celtics 💪💯☘️ The Mid 90 s were also bad not good my man
Rough times
We got through them though and now we on top of the world!
I belived in James Young 🤦🏽♂️
Bro my guy was RJ Hunter! Thought that mans was gonna be a stud!
Another 1 🤦🏽♂️ 😂, we live through the lows, and now we Riding High Bro. Let’s go Celtics!
The thing i hate the most about the celtics is celtic fans and their stink!
so toxic with the fuck ray allen. stopped watching after that
