The Confetti Game goes right up there with the balloon game and Havlicek stole the ball and Bird stole the ball and all of those great Celtics moments!
CONFETTI GAME!
As I recall, Havlicek saved Russell by stealing the ball on the inbounds pass after Russell had hit the wiring on an inbounds pass and given the ball to Philly. Probably the most embarrassing play of Russ's career as a Celtic.
Maybe Philly was so full of themselves after beating the Patriots. You know, the Boston teams generally get negative media outside of New England, partly because most of the big sports networks are in NY, and their commentators grew up in NYC. Mike Sirroca of ESPN admitted as much on the Kentucky Derby broadcast. The Philly media is negative on the Celtics because of previous wars usually won by the Celtics.
