I did a search and nothing turned up.
The NBA continues to put out some fantastic DVDs with the help of Warner.
For those of you that complained when the NBA released the Lakers and Bulls dynasty series DVDs last summer, because you wanted them to release some for the Celtics you have your wish.

Both of these came out November 2, and flew under the radar for me. I will pick them both up as I am a big NBA fan, and have heard good things about that playoff game against the Hawks on the Bird DVD.
I’ve got to say that the NBA DVDs are just awesome, I wish the NFL would do better, I love my Oakland Raiders: the Complete History DVD but it would be 100 times better if it were like these dynasty sets.
The NBA could still do a lot more potentially great DVDs, but IMO these are worth owning for anyone that is an NBA fan. The games for me are the best part and I can't wait to own these as I have said.
