Fire Heinsohn
Posted: 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.
