Isaiah Thomas is continuing to play at a high level this season. After converting on a coast-to-coast layup with 7.6 seconds left in the second quarter of Wednesday’s game between the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks, the 5-foot-9 point guard accomplished a feat only done by five other players in their team’s storied history. With […]

Devin Booker made history Friday night. In a loss, however. Booker scored 70 points but the Celtics still got the best of the Suns, 130-120.

By being the top scorer […]

Isaiah Thomas has played just two games this season without starting backcourt mate Avery Bradley. You could say Thomas becomes a different player without Bradley alongside him. Incredibly, the Celtics point guard has scored 90 points in those two games without dishing out a single assist. Something that’s nearly impossible to do for a point guard […]

Prior to Friday night’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, there were rumors that rookie center Joel Embiid might have to defend point guard Isaiah Thomas when caught on a switch.

After narrowly missing the nod for Eastern Conference Player of the Week to Washington Wizards point guard John Wall, a very confident Isaiah Thomas believes he should be the Player of the Month. “Hell yeah,” Thomas said, according to ESPN’s Chris Forsberg. “I should definitely get that award.” And he has plenty of reasons to […]

When Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 52 points on Friday against the Miami Heat, Gerald Green could not help but be reminded of Paul Pierce‘s 50-point game back in 2006.

Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas may be a little guy in the NBA, but he has always had big dreams.

The Celtics were somewhat disconnected as a unit, despite fueling […]

However, the team’s General Manager and President of Basketball Operations, Danny Ainge, gave an update on the 5-foot-9 […]

James Harden and Isaiah Thomas have quite a few similarities. They are both guards who have been named All-Stars, of the same age (27-years-old), and are lefties.

During the 1990’s, Allen Iverson was revered as one of the best players not only in the NBA, but in the world. His skill set was so profound that he was able to score at will and was a game-changer night in and night out. What’s more impressive is that he is not the tallest […]

Last season, the Boston Celtics surprised a lot of people when they ended up with a winning record and made it to the playoffs even without an established star on their roster.

Phil Jackson’s triangle offense is legendary. But it doesn’t work everywhere. Jackson won 11 NBA championships with the Bulls and Lakers thanks largely to his revolutionary offense.
