That’s right, folks, Scal is back. Boston’s favorite son (or red-headed step child) will return to the hub this fall to be a part of the Celtics. Only he won’t be blocking shots and defending power forwards or centers. Scalabrine told Y! Sports earlier this week that he will become a part of CSNNE’s regional Celtics broadcasts, serving as the color analyst alongside Mike Gorman for 11 games this year, as well as doing some studio work. What this means for Celtics fans is that for 11 games this season, we will be relieved of hearing Tommy Heinson complain about referees and make mountains out of molehills, or in our case, Bill Russell out of Greg Stiemsma. Seriously, Tommy is an all-time Celtic and one of the greatest basketball people the organization has ever seen, but HE IS NOT A BROADCASTER. The guy gets paid to say “That’s terrible!” and “He got hit on theuh ahhm there.”. It’s painful. Scal should offer a much needed break from life with Tommy. Not to mention everybody loves Scal, and if you don’t you’re probably this guy. Our editor Stephen Bailey seems to think this is the best thing to happen to the Celtics since this happened, and you know what? He’s right!
