What is looking like a Cinderella story is Isaiah Thomas and his 2017 campaign with the Boston Celtics. First of all, Isaiah Thomas is an unlikely candidate for franchise player. Traded, mid-season, in 2015 to the Celtics, Thomas initially came off the bench.
In 2015 and 2016, Isaiah Thomas led the Celtics to 40 win seasons and first round playoff exits. This season, the Cavaliers sleep-walked into the postseason, allowing Thomas’ Celtics to gain the top spot. But, the bad news Isaiah Thomas received led to them losing 0-2 at home.
After turning it around and winning four straight against the Bulls, IT and his crew drew the Washington Wizards in the second round. Fans are looking forward to the Thomas/John Wall matchup and their first bout cost Isaiah a tooth. During the post-game interview, he spoke on this, and much more, alongside Al Horford.
