Celtics join the in crowd</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> I'm not concerned right now about what's going to happen in May and June. I just want to thank Danny Ainge for giving us back our winter. Danny Ainge has rescued us from being strictly a two-sport town.</p> For many years now - for the entire 21st century, actually - it's been Red Sox and Patriots, Patriots and Red Sox, Red Sox and Patriots, and, of course, Patriots and Red Sox. When, I'm sorry, if (don't want to rile up those Colts, you know) the Patriots win the Super Bowl Feb. 3, there will be about a two-week window before pitchers and catchers report and the Red Sox officially begin defense of their championship. In this century, it hasn't mattered much, frankly, that the Celtics have usually been unwatchable. We got along very well without them.</p> That has changed. The Celtics are demanding our attention.</p> Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's only three games. But what three games! First, there was that rousing opener against Washington. Then they hung tough to pull out an OT road win against the defending Atlantic Division champion Raptors. And Wednesday night we bore witness to an utter destruction of what will surely prove to be a good NBA team. It was a show the likes of which we haven't seen around here since You Know Who, You Know Who, You Know Who, and all the auxiliary You Know Whos were brightening up our winters back in the '80s.</p> After watching the Celtics blast their way to a 77-38 halftime lead over the Nuggets, I happened to run into a pair of certified Celtic Legends in the press room. You might be interested in what they had to say.</p> "I haven't seen anything like this around here for 20 years," said Bob Cousy. "That kind of poise and confidence on offense . . . they make as many passes as necessary."</p> "They're playing like the teams I played on," declared Tom Heinsohn. "They always pass to the right man. It's tough to beat a team like that."</p> </div></p>
Tommy had to say something didnt he? Man I love it the odd times we get his "special comments" in OZ...</p>
haha Tommy always has to say something. I can understand how he is annoying at times to other fans that listen him, he goes berserk when a call is made that he doesn't like.</p>
<font size="5">"I just want to thank Danny Ainge for giving us back our winter. Danny Ainge has rescued us from being strictly a two-sport town."</font></p> me too!</p>
These are my favorites:</p> "Awwwww FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!"</p> "Gimme a break!"</p> "That was ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Absoulutely ridiculous..."</p> "THEY'RE GONNA CALL THAT A HARD FOUL!!?!?!?! THEY'RE GONNA CALL THAT A HARD FOUL?!?!?! These officials should go home to their mothers because they aren't welcome here."</p> "Ya know... these young, arrogant officials need to have a talkin' to."</p> "Ya see they blew the whistle after he missed the basket. If he made it, they wouldn't have called anything. Typical..."</p> I also love when they show replays that clearly show that the foul was on the Celtics, and after Tommy watches it a good 2-3 times, he still acts like it was the worst call in the history of the game.</p> If you're a Celtics fan, you LOVE Tommy. If you are a fan of another team, you despise him. I love Tommy, and I couldn't imagine watching the Celtics without the Mike & Tommy broadcast.</p>
