 IF YOU ARE A CELTICS FAN, BUY THIS !!Jan 21, 2010
The videos were outstanding quality given the games were over 25 years ago. Very hard to believe, but yes it's been that long ! The history of the team was interesting, as the celebratory videos from 81 and 86. The games they chose were pretty good, but I would've liked to have seen one or two more of the Pistons Eastern Conference championship, instead of two Finals games vs the Rockets. Those were good in that they won championships as a result, but we all know the Lakers games are classic, but those Celts-Pistons battles from the late 80's are sort of a forgotten gem. The one in the set is Game 7 from the 87 eastern finals...The one where Robert Parrish clocks Bill Laimbeer blatantly, and doesn't get called for it...Anyway, if you're a Celtics fan, this is a must have...

Amazing NBA Series continues to set standardJul 28, 2009
As the sports DVD boom continues, the NBA shows it is head and shoulders above all the major professional sports in this field. While MLB and NHL DVD's give you the full games but lack bonus features; the NFL has also done this with the NFL teams and they started strong with the elite teams (Steelers, Packers, Cowboys, etc) they have watered it down and given less bang with your buck.
The NBA through NBA TV created "The Dynasty Series" and its continued excellence wins again with "The Boston Celtics"
When your purchase this set you get 5 dual discs (discs that have material on both sides) which allows you to have close to 22 hours of material.
If you purchase at Wal-Mart or hear at Amazon you will spend no more than $25-$30 for this set. That is a beyond a great deal. Unlike the competitor leagues this NBA series not only gives you documentaries but full games.
This set gives you the "Celtic Dynasty" which is an hour documentary on the Celtics rise to basketball supermacy. You get a bunch of other featurettes that concern Celtic playoff runs in the 1970's and 1980's.
What is the meat and potatos of this set is the games you receive the:
*1969 NBA Finals Game 7 Celtics-Lakers - 4th quarter only
*1976 NBA Finals Game 5 Celtics-Suns - the legendary game that went multiple OTs
*1981 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 Celtics-Sixers - Larry Bird matures and guides the Celtics to an Game 7 victory over Dr. J
*1984 NBA Finals Games 4 and 7 Celtics-Lakers - Bird and Magic's first meeting in the NBA Finals and you get 2 great games
*1986 NBA Finals Game 4 Celtics-Rockets - The Celtics steamroll the Twin Towers
*1987 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 Celtics-Pistons - Larry Bird steals the ball
If you are a new Celtics fan looking for material from their recent championship run with "The Boston 3-Party" you will be disappointed this is an older set, but if you love Celtics and know someone who enjoys great baseketball this is a must buy.

 HAVLICEK STOLE THE BALL !!Jul 13, 2008
The other reviewers have said it all. There's not much to add.
I'd emphasize each disc, of the five in the set, has video on BOTH sides ... so we are talking about LOTS of highlights and full-length copies of games. It takes a whole "rainy day" to watch it.
DISC ONE
A-
INTRO
VIDEO: "THE CELTICS DYNASTY"
B-
VIDEO: BOSTON CELTICS: "A TRADITION OF GREATNESS"
THE CELTS ARE BACK: 1974 NBA PLAY-OFFS
THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED: 1976 NBA PLAY-OFFS
RIVALRY RENEWED: 1984 NBA PLAY-OFFS
DISC TWO
A-
DYNASTY RENEWED: 1981 NBA PLAY-OFFS
1983-84 NBA SEASON: "PRIDE AND PASSION"
B-
SWEET SIXTEEN: 1986 NBA PLAY-OFFS
1986-87 NBA SEASON: "HOME OF THE BRAVE"
VIDEO: "SEARCHING FOR NUMBER 17"
DISC THREE
A-

B-
1984 NBA FINALS: CELTICS V. LAKERS (GAME 7)
DISC FIVE
A-
1986 NBA FINALS: CELTICS V. ROCKETS (GAME 4)
B-
1987 NBA EAST CONF FINALS: CELTICS V. PISTONS (GAME 5)
My favorite segment of the entire series had to have been Game #7, as won by the Celts over the Lakers, in 1969, as Bill Russell and Sam Jones were retiring. You get 4th Quater and post-game only.
I still liked it because, as a grade-schooler at the time, I was not allowed to stay up late enough, on a Monday night, to watch that game live from Los Angeles. In those days, the networks lacked the "juice," so as to get weekday games from out west into "prime time."
I think that game may have tipped off at 10:30 p.m. EST -- way too late for me, then !! So I love seeing it now.
Pass the word ... the Celts are back !!

Great DVD Set For Celtics FansApr 04, 2008
This five-disc set chronicles the history of the Boston Celtics, the National Basketball Association's most successful franchise.
The first two discs contain miscellaneous features highlighting the complete history of the team, from the early days of the NBA to today. There is footage covering the Russell-led teams of the Fifties and Sixties, and coverage of the mid-1970s title teams. Also included are the championship videos describing the titles that the team won in the 1980s.
The last three discs contain portions of games or complete games as they were originally broadcast from the 1969, 1976, 1981, 1984, and 1986 title drives, as well as Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals when Larry Bird stole the Isiah Thomas pass to preserve what ultimately led to another trip to the NBA Finals.
This set contains some of the greatest basketball ever played. Owners of this set will be able to see, in the old Celtic clubs and the squads that they faced in these games, some of the greatest teams in NBA history. And what Celtics fan wouldn't love to have Game 7 of the 1984 NBA Finals in all its glory on DVD?
