I love listening to Mike and Tommy. I really don't like the national TV games because I'm stuck with their announcers since CSNNE is blacked out here. I chuckle when I do the CFTOS and they talk about what a homer Tommy is. That's why I love him so much. Home games mean that Tommy's also tweeting and we get gems like this from him.
Caron Butler starts the game 3-3 shooting: "Who did it? The Butler did it!"

Tommy still knows his stuff. If it wasn't so much stress he should be an assistant coach. Here he's the master of understatement. Yes. Please cover Griffin. I think they heard Tommy and they did a good job of covering him overall.
Griffin with the rebound and score: "You can't let him get a head of steam coming from the corner. I'm sorry...PLEASE! Somebody cover him."

Defibrillators: Boston Celtics hang on over Los Angeles Clippers 106-104
Paul Pierce came up big late against the ClippersI know two things to be true about the 2013 Celtics. The first: If something is too good to be true (ie. a first half offensive explosion and lockdown defense), it likely is. The second: No lead is safe, specifically no lead under 20.Boston tried VERY hard to lose the game in the fourth quarter this afternoon, blowing all but two points...
Boston Celtics: Time to Sell. But not Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce.
With the recent news that Jared Sullinger will be out for the rest of the season, joining superstar point guard, Rajon Rondo, all hope of contention is lost. They could make a big trade to acquire talent, but it would cost all of their valuable pieces and long-term cap space, which is why Rudy Gay is not in Boston and why Josh Smith will not be in green either. With a healthy Rajon...
Rondo-less Celtics Looking to Remain Competitive: Win Three in a Row!
Perhaps team captain Paul Pierce said it best after last Sunday’s thrilling and gritty 102-100 2OT win over the defending champion Miami Heat on national TV…When told that Rondo had a torn ACL that would sideline him for the season Pierce expressed his frustration and then immediately stated…”Guys are gonna have to step up! That’s all I can say!”

Comments from the Other Side - Magic 2/1
What would a Comments post be without a wheelchair mention and some officiating complaints. Seems like they are in every thread. Love that our bench is producing so well these past few games. I was stuck with the Magic feed last night. I missed Mike and Tommy but even worse, they kept getting the names of the Celtics wrong. I've highlighted my favorites. What...
Kevin Garnett on Trade Rumors: “I Bleed Green, But It’s a Business”
I am on record saying that the Celtics window has closed and it is time to blow up the team. KG and Paul Pierce would be considered valuable assets to teams who are in a position to make a NBA Finals run. Every trade should be explored by Danny Ainge at this point.
KG has a no trade clause, but from these quotes it appears if the right trade came around he would be interested....
