Isaiah Thomas is frustrated.
The Boston Celtics point guard is taking losing hard and it's happening a bit more than he and the team had hoped for so far this season.
The Celtics sit at just 9-7 in the Eastern Conference prompting Thomas to say this after the team's last game:
#Celtics Isaiah Thomas: "I just hate losing. I don't think you gain too much from losing. But I guess I have to look at the big picture."

#Celtics Isaiah Thomas: If we want to be a good team, when we lose we can't (keep saying) 'we played well.' it wasn't good enough.

#Celtics Isaiah Thomas: We believe in (Brad Stevens). We believe he's going to make the right (rotation) decisions. Then we go from there.

Thomas is just doing some venting here. A lot of people believe some good can be taken from losing, but that's not always the case and Thomas doesn't think the team is getting much from the L's this season.
The Celtics were thought by many before the season to be a potential contender in the Eastern Conference. They haven't quite looked that way yet, but they've recently gotten Al Horford back and might start winning some more games soon.
Then Thomas won't have to worry about taking positives from the losses.
