I love Tommy Heinsohn.  I  love listening to him in games and I love reading his tweets.  I know that fans from our opponents would rather eat glass than have to listen to Tommy and that makes me love him even more.  Here are the best of Tommy's tweets from last night.


One thing Tommy always preaches is running. I think he's going to like these Celtics, especially when Rondo comes back.

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
On Brad Stevens & uptempo basketball: "One thing you gotta do is develop a philosophy and system of play. I believe he's already done that."

For those missing KG's cooking analogies, Tommy has picked up the mantle and had one for us last night when discussing the fact that the Celtics are still working on their chemistry.

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
"Well, they're still putting the salt and pepper into the pot and seeing what's coming up ... Chemistry is still in the works!"

I love Tommy even more because he shares my dislike, disgust, and distrust of the officials.

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Mike was speaking with an official the other night: "You were sitting with the officials?! I'm not gonna sit with you anymore!!!"

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Personal foul called on Courtney Lee: "That's awful. That is absolutely awful."

Tommy knows what they need to do!

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Crawford to Bradley for a layup: "That's what you need, a little penetration, find the open guy. I LIKE THAT!!!!"

Not really sure if Tommy liked this or didn't like this. With Jordan Crawford, it's tough to figure out.


Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Jordan Crawford misses a 3, but grabs the offensive rebound: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????"

Tommy bleeds green. He loves every one of these guys who put on the green. I honestly think if he could, he'd lace 'em up and be right out there with them.


Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Phil Pressey grabs the rebound, finds Bass for the dunk: "HIS DAD'D BE PROUD OF THAT!!! I think I'm proud of that!!!"
4:48 PM - 23 Oct 2013


And, of course, Tommy loves Vitor, along with the rest of us!

Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
"Take a look at Vitor & the good hands he's got! It's the classic 'Get the guy under the basket and control the whole side of the floor!'"
5:35 PM - 23 Oct 2013


Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
"TAKE A LOOK AT VITOR! I love Vitor! V, for Victory! Right there, blocking shots!"
5:51 PM - 23 Oct 2013


Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
Vitor grabs the rebound off Pressey's shot & lays it up: "There's another #hustleplay! He's piling up #TommyPoint's all over the place!!!"
6:19 PM - 23 Oct 2013


Tommy Heinsohn @CSNTommy
"He was ever-aggressive on the boards, & he sure did a lot to help tonight!" With 15 pts & 7 rebounds, Vitor Faverani wins the #TommyAward!

Hi,
No wonder Tommy is color man along with Mike-announcer.
What I like most about him, besides the "coloring", is that he can point out and succinctly describe good and bad plays by both teams despite being one of the "homiest" homie.

I feel badly for those who missed the Tommy and Cousy pairing as "color analysts." Big man perspective versus little man perspective; bleed green perspective vs. ultimate candor. Sometimes it almost seemed as though there were still sharing a conversation while they commuted to and from Worcester. One of the best pairings ever.
