— Tommy Heinsohn (@CSNTommy) January 5, 2013
Tommy loves it when they run and yes, Rondo gets the rest of the team running just like the rabbit that the greyhounds chase, but Avery Bradley is like the Energizer bunny. He's what gets Rondo going. Rondo loves having Avery to run with. And Tommy weighed in on former Celtic Gerald Green, who didn't have a great game last night. But, I've always liked Gerald and I'm glad he's getting another chance.
Green misses the three... Mike: "Gerald Green doesn't hesitate." Tommy: "He's got t...

5 Things Celtics must do to win tonight - Hawks 1/5

The Hawks currently sit at 20-11, which is good for third place in the eastern conference. So it obviously won't be an easy game. But if the C's play like they did yesterday then there's no way that they'll end up losing. We'...
