The Boston Celtics are back in the playoffs and will try to defend their title in 2025. Up first for the reigning champs is a first-round series against the Orlando Magic and Boston took care of business at home to kick things off by winning Game 1 103-86 on Sunday and following that up with a 109-100 victory in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Time is an interesting thing to consider. This video is from the 1966 NBA Playoffs and a series between the Boston Celtics and the Cincinnati Royals. You can see some true legends in Bill Russell, John Havlicek, Sam and KC Jones, Oscar Robertson, Jerry Lucas and, on the bench, Red Auerbach in his final season as coach.
