The 1990–91 NBA season was the 45th season for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association. During the off-season, the Celtics hired Chris Ford as their new head coach. After playing in Italy the previous season, former Celtics guard Brian Shaw would return to the team after a one-year absence. After failing to advance past the first round in the two previous seasons, it appeared going into the 1990–91 season that the Celtics were fading as NBA title contenders. However, the Celtics burst to a 29–5 start reminiscent of their title years of the 1980s, and once again established themselves as contenders, holding a 35–12 record at the All-Star break.

  • The 1990–91 NBA season was the 45th season for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association. During the off-season, the Celtics hired Chris Ford as their new head coach. After playing in Italy the previous season, former Celtics guard Brian Shaw would return to the team after a one-year absence. After failing to advance past the first round in the two previous seasons, it appeared going into the 1990–91 season that the Celtics were fading as NBA title contenders. However, the Celtics burst to a 29–5 start reminiscent of their title years of the 1980s, and once again established themselves as contenders, holding a 35–12 record at the All-Star break. Beginning in January, Larry Bird began to miss significant playing time due to back injuries (Bird would miss 22 regular season games) and the team struggled in his absence. The team limped to the finish, losing 6 of their final 8 games to finish at 56–26 (still good for the Atlantic Division title and #2 seed in the East). The Celtics also qualified for the playoffs for the 12th consecutive season. Bird averaged 19.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, while sixth man Kevin McHale averaged 18.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and Robert Parish provided the team with 14.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. Bird, McHale and Parish were all selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game, with Ford coaching the Eastern Conference, but Bird did not participate due to injury. In addition, Reggie Lewis finished second on the team in scoring with 18.7 points per game, while Kevin Gamble contributed 15.6 points per game, Shaw provided with 13.8 points, 7.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and top draft pick Dee Brown averaged 8.7 points and 4.2 assists per game off the bench, was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, and also won the Slam Dunk Contest during the All-Star Weekend in Charlotte. Bird also finished tied in ninth place in Most Valuable Player voting, while McHale finished in third place in Sixth Man of the Year voting, Gamble finished in second place in Most Improved Player voting, and Ford finished in third place in Coach of the Year voting. In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Celtics survived a scare from the 7th-seeded Indiana Pacers, going the full five games before winning a classic finale (in which Bird went to the locker room during the game with injury, only to return and finish with 32 points). In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, the Celtics held home court advantage against the 2-time defending NBA Champion Detroit Pistons, but Bird missed Game 1 with injury and the Pistons took the game at Boston Garden, 86–75. Bird returned for the remainder of the series and the Celtics rallied to win Games 2 and 3 (Game 3 a blowout win in Detroit, 115–83), but Detroit won 3 in a row afterwards to take the series. (en)
  • La saison 1990-1991 des Celtics de Boston est la 45e saison de la franchise américaine de la National Basketball Association (NBA). Après avoir échoué au premier tour des playoffs les deux saisons précédentes, l'équipe des Celtics ne fait pas figure de prétendant au titre. Chris Ford devient même le nouvel entraîneur principal de l'équipe en début de saison. Cependant, les Celtics réalisent un beau début de saison avec un bilan de 29-5, qui rappelle leurs années des titres des années 1980, et se sont de nouveau imposés comme prétendants au titre. À partir de janvier, Larry Bird commence à manquer plusieurs matchs (22 au total) et voit son nombre de minutes diminuer en raison de blessures au dos. L’équipe termine la saison régulière avec un bilan de 56-26, remportant le titre de Division Atlantique et se classant à la seconde place de la Conférence Est. Au premier tour des playoffs, les Celtics battent les Pacers de l'Indiana au terme de cinq matchs, dont l'ultime se déroule au Boston Garden et voit Bird rentrer aux vestiaires pendant le match à la suite d'une blessure, pour finalement revenir et terminer avec 32 points. Lors de la demi-finale de conférence, les Celtics possèdent l'avantage du terrain face aux Pistons de Détroit, double champion en titre. Cependant, Bird rate le premier match à cause d'une blessure et les Pistons remportant le match au Boston Garden. Bird revient pour le reste de la série et les Celtics reprennent l'avantage en remportant les deux matchs suivants. Néanmoins, Détroit s'octroie les trois dernières victoires afin de remporter la série et mettre un terme à la saison des Celtics. (fr)
