1994–95 Boston Celtics season explained

The 1994–95 NBA season was the 49th season for the Boston Celtics in the National Basketball Association.[1] This was the Celtics first season since the 1979–80 season without longtime center Robert Parish, who left as a free agent to the Charlotte Hornets. It was also the team's final season of play at the Boston Garden (as well as splitting their schedule with Hartford Civic Center).[2] [3] [4] After missing the playoffs the previous season, the Celtics had the ninth overall pick in the 1994 NBA draft, and selected Eric Montross from the University of North Carolina.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Prior to the season, the Celtics signed free agent All-Star forward Dominique Wilkins (a controversial move late in Wilkins' career),[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] signed free agents Pervis Ellison,[15] [16] second-year guard David Wesley and rookie guard Greg Minor,[17] [18] and acquired Blue Edwards and Derek Strong from the Milwaukee Bucks.[19] [20] The Celtics got off to a 7–6 start in November, but played below .500 for the remainder of the season, holding a 19–27 record at the All-Star break.[21] At midseason, Edwards was traded back to his former team, the Utah Jazz in exchange for Jay Humphries.[22] [23] [24] The Celtics won eight of their final twelve games finishing third in the Atlantic Division with a 35–47 record.[25]

Wilkins averaged 17.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, while second-year star Dino Radja averaged 17.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and Dee Brown provided the team with 15.6 points and 1.4 steals per game. In addition, Sherman Douglas contributed 14.7 points and 6.9 assists per game, while Montross averaged 10.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. Off the bench, Rick Fox contributed 8.8 points per game, but only played 53 games due to ankle and foot injuries,[26] while Xavier McDaniel provided with 8.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Wesley contributed 7.4 points, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game in only 51 games, starting in 36 of them due to a knee injury,[27] while Ellison averaged 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and Strong provided with 6.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.[28]

Despite finishing twelve games under .500, the Celtics qualified for the playoffs as the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference. In the Eastern Conference First Round, the team suffered a 47-point margin in a Game 1 road loss to the #1 seed Orlando Magic, 124–77,[29] [30] [31] but managed to defeat them in Game 2, 99–92 (seizing the "theoretical home court advantage" for the series).[32] [33] [34] However, the Magic defeated the Celtics at Boston Garden in both Games 3 and 4 to close out the series.[35] [36] [37] [38] The Magic would go on to reach the NBA Finals for the first time, but would lose in four straight games to the 6th-seeded, and defending champion Houston Rockets.[39] [40] [41] [42] [43]

Following the season, Wilkins and McDaniel both left to play overseas in Greece,[44] [45] [46] [47] while Strong signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers,[48] Humphries was released to free agency, and head coach Chris Ford was fired. General Manager M.L. Carr explained the firing as having to do with "diminishing returns".[49] [50] [51]
