Tommy Heinsohn

[DesertDweller]

made two statements last night during the Suns game that were just too true....one was something I said in a post two days ago, the Celtics have to learn that when they have their opponent down they must learn to step on their necks. that 20 point lead, had they been playing someone that really wanted to win, would have been long gone by the end of the 4th quarter and that win could have turned into just another late game failure.
and the second thing he said was the C's need to take a couple deep breaths and dribble the ball about eight or nine times to relax before taking their free throws. they missed 10 last night and have been absolutely horrendous on free shots of late.
a lot of fans don't like Tommy because of his brash behavior and difference of opinion with the officials but don't kid yourself, Tommy Heinsohn is one smart cookie!!!

Also mentioned marcus lift and legs an how gifted marcus is on defence
okay phoenix wasn't good but if you think marcus isn't getting it ,he played point guard with patience,change of speeds while exploring the paint-marcus looked like he was beginning to play in summer league-
the other day he said marcus to take off closer to basket
back to tommy love him or hate him-he is a big part of all those banners aqnd future ones

Tommy Heinsohn is most certainly part and parcel of the past, present, and future Celtics.

He is also an entertainer.

The biggest critique against him is he's a homer. Yet, one of those famous games he did, perhaps against Philly, is when he became famous for saying that's ridiculous.

"You're gonna call that a hard foul?"

It turned out he was correct and that the actual game was cited by Tim Donaghy.

Tommy understands. He was a great NBA coach. Havlicek is another old time Celtic who helps new players understand what is meant by Celtics Tradition or Celtics Pride.

We will be unstoppable in a couple years. We will probably end up looking like the Celtics of the 60's and 70's, running and defending, one for all, all for one. Celtics Pride.

And don't forget about Cornbread. He was a great player and is very smart. Unfortunately, who is going to listen to games on the radio? I miss Cornbread. I'm grateful for every game we still get with Tommy and I hope he can keep going for a long time. Jimmy Carter is over 90 and still getting it done.
