Fire Heinsohn

BrokenLeftyJumper · Post #1 » by **BrokenLeftyJumper** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:38 am

Anticipating a clutter of pointless reactionary threads after tonights game, I wanted to make a reactionary one myself. I have absolutely no problems with this team, except one, the one man who is making games almost unbearable is Mr. Tommy Heinsohn.

He is such a freakin crybaby, its wearing on me. He would honestly make a great defense lawyer, he can literally look at any NBA play involving the Celtics and find some way to argue that the other team committed a violation and the ref blew it. I'm sitting there trying to watch the end of the game tonight and instead of admitting Pierce got used by Caron Butler on two plays in a row, Tommy is over there trying to say that an offensive foul should have been called on both plays. I know a lot of people act like Tommy is that old uncle they never had who might be a little daffy, but at least he can entertaining, but come on, he's more like the little punk you play against whose calling friggin offensive fouls and crying about three seconds in pickup games. You kind of felt bad for him last year when he would do the same old song and dance with a team that couldn't pull their head out of their ass, like it was all kinda pathetic and you felt bad for the guy. But now, I just can't stand him. It boggles my mind that people still think hes some sort of basketball guru, when the only analysis he ever provides is some youth league basketball coach advice like "ahhhh, run more." Please, I'll take Cedric Maxwell any day over Tommy. He can provide the cracked out comments (I'll take quack quack over Tommy points and ref bitching any day) as well, but he'll do so with some objectivity and also intersperse his comments with some actual freakin analysis that's somewhat relevant to the current NBA.

The last week or so has been especially bad, so much so that I can't wait til some national games so we don't have to hear this old windbag.

Examples:
1. Rudy Gay got his tooth chipped in half on a non-call by the official on a pretty clear foul by the Celtics. After the next possession, Tommy goes on a tangent about the refs are screwing over the C's.
2. Caron Butler makes two pretty spectacular plays against the C's tonight. No respect from Tommy. Instead, he fabricates some offensive fouls the refs should have called on the play.
3. The entire Charlotte game. Dude needed a muzzle or a pacifier for this one. Crying didn't stop all damn game, despite the fact Celtics shot more free throws than the Bobcats.

Tommy shows more passion than half the player do most of the time. Can't fault him.

Very true, as a Celtics fan you should love what hes saying and agree with what hes saying even if you know its wrong.

I don't understand that rant against Tommy. I mean, I am not even american, I do not live in Boston and yet... I love the man.

I could undertand that if you were rooting for any other team, but Tommy is OUR guy. He is an hall of famer, a former great player and coach and he absolutely bleeds green.

I can not even imagine listening to a game without Tommy. I honestly believe he is the greatest symbol of the celtics now that Red is gone.

I loved how he stated that Butler and Daniels were man handling Pierce all game... :lol:

Since when did being a Celtic fan equate to being a spineless party line follow the leader type hack. Seriously some of you guys would have made great members of the Politburo.

Okay, Heinsohn was a great Celtic as a coach and player. That was like 30 years ago. Times change and its clear the guy has lost it. You all are the clowns that would let old people drive cars til they were 105 with cataracts in both eyes just because they had a drivers license at one point in their lives.

The saddest thing about it is that he's creating all these mini-Heinsohns amongst Celtics fans who think that every damn refree in the league has a lifelong vendetta against the Celtics and think every time the C's lose a game its because the refs were all in cahoots with Donaghy or some nonsense. Newsflash: the C's commit fouls. Paul Pierce can miss a shot without being fouled. Heinsohn does not speak the gospel, just like most crazy old men in the front of the liquor store do not speak the gospel.

I think a true Celtics fan should turn the TV on mute and pray for Mike Gorman's sanity. With the talcum powder getting sprayed in his face and the old windbag rambling in his ear for three hours a night, he must be looking to go the way of old Bison Dele.

Man, I think your problem is you take Tommy too seriously. He's amusing to listen to, has knowledge of the game, but ultimately the guy is a homer- that's probably the best thing about him.

Well to each his own. I for one am pro Tommy all the way. If you can't watch the game and take Tommy for what he is then I suggest you mute it. Tommy isn't going anywhere and I'm sure once Mike wipes the pregame powder off his face with a smile he would tell you the same thing with complete sanity.

Watching this game as a Wizards fan, and having to endure that idiot the entire game, I'd say the orininal poster is right on the mark.

As an outside observer, you guys shoulda been rid of him after his alcoholic days in the 80s. The guy is a total nutjob. I also think it sometimes affects your thoughts on the team itself, which is kind of disturbing considering the guy should be in a home by now.
