I'm watching NBA TV and Gametime, and they had Tommy on there for a quick interview. I used to hate the guy when I would tune in for Knicks/Celtics games for a Celtics broadcast. I thought the guy was the biggest homer, and he is, but I've grown to really appreciate his personality. I know he was a great player for the franchise, but man, was I annoyed when I had to listen to him for 2.5 hours.
He's a stark contrast from Clyde Frazier because if you didn't know you were tuned into an MSG broadcast, you might not have any idea that Clyde was a Knicks color commentator. He tends to call them out quite a bit. I'm sure Tommy calls players out, but him and Clyde are just so different.
Also, I'm envious of what you guys are doing from a team building standpoint. Ainge is a hell of a GM (I know, another ex player), and Brad Stevens is like the NBA Einstein. How can you not appreciate with IT3 is doing? You guys have a ton of pieces and it looks like you're going to continue to build. The team is already a really good squad. I think what the Raps are doing this year is impressive, but I'm more impressed with what the Celtics have done.
Feel free to come over to the Knicks subreddit, but now might not be a good time, or a perfect time. Hell, it's probably THE perfect time for most Celtics fans as there is a ton of turmoil going on especially after last nights loss at home.
Good luck guys and gals!

EDIT: IT4, not 3. I must have been dreaming or some shit when IT3 popped into my head.
