Celtic Pride
You knew it was coming. The victory cigar. The Garden. The banners. The parquet floor. Russell (with his 11 -- 11! -- rings), Cousy, Heinsohn, "Havlicek stole the ball!", "... and there's a steal by Bird, underneath to D.J., lays it in." The Boston Celtics may have had the greatest homecourt advantage in NBA history with the Boston Garden, whether it was a physical or psychological. It helped the Celtics to an amazing 191-75 record at home in the postseason (including the TD Banknorth Garden), third best in NBA history.

No. 4: Utah Jazz | No. 5: Portland Trail Blazers | No. 6: Detroit Pistons
