I'm dedicating this season to Tommy!

[Silas]

I started following Tommy's career when he was a rookie and I was a young kid.  The man had a great career playing for the Cs and over the years I respected his views on the game.  Hard to believe he died in November. The black band with Tommy's name that the players are wearing shows the respect he deserves.   Also, he coached one of my favorite players Paul Silas.  Sad that his teammate KC just passed.  Another good player and coach for the Cs. 

I'm dedicating this season to Tommy.

TP to you for starting this thread.

Remember when Tommy was announcer for the NBA on CBS. Laker fans 'hated' his guts lol. I cannot remember the details but was he a homer for the Celtics when he worked for CBS?

He should be in the HOF as a broadcaster as well and his name should be on the Garden parquet. He was the ultimate Celtic.

Overtaken by the sad news of KC's death and the Cs terrible game yesterday.

Great post TP and I feel the same way.

I am hoping the Celtics sell the pregame Tommy shirts for charity or something
