Not too sure what this thread title means but it kind reeks of that attitude that because IT is a short player, he's childlike. The same kind of thing when Chris Paul gets patted on the head by big men.

IT is a focused, grown man who this franchise owes a lot too. I think your implying that he needs some help which is true but your word choice in the title was poor.

Not trying to be an ivory tower kind of guy but when I write here I don't expect that players will see it but I try to keep in mind that they could and IMO a thread title like this poorly represents the fan base.

You absolutely took my title the wrong way and in no way was I implying that because he was small in stature that he was childlike. what I meant was after watching the last couple games that Isaiah is trying too hard and making mistakes at untimely parts of the game and maybe needed to unwind a wee bit, no pun intended.
Then make the title clear. IT needs to Unwind. Words mean things be as clear with your words as possible. They never come back.

Who are you, my 3rd grade grammar teacher??? 
why, would she have questioned the meaning of the title as well?

Who did I run into, Abbott & Costello???

Look, I said my peace I stand by it. It's was a weird word choice that's been up on the latest forum topics for 2 days now. Every time I see it, it made me think that your accusing IT of throwing tantrums on the court or something.

Maybe I'm being overly PC but this is the sentiment I was referring too...

No Just eome who thinks you need a Timeout before he "rights". I stand by what I said. I come her to read inteliigent post about my favorite team a good title helps me find it.

Way too politically correct for the word "timeout".  I mean doesn't the coach call a timeout occasionally when stuff starts getting a little crazy on the floor just to get the team to calm down and get their heads together. so now what, we should not use the word "timeout ever again least it might offend a player for being treated like a child. don't you see how stupid this is??? and this whole Chris Paul being touched on the head and you don't like to get touched....and who gives a crap!!!

IMHO It is not that far away from being labeled as a franchise type of a player.
he is one of those "initiators" and i absolutely love watching him play. dynamic scorer, a leader, so much better playmaker than the previous years. his defense is not that bad at all, he loves the ball at end of the game situations. One of the best drivers and finishers in the game today

What are we waiting for???  Danny Ainge has more than enough players and draft picks to make this team a contender right now. so what is the plan??? are we waiting for Brooklyn's draft pick before it's all right to make a freakin' move, just plain stupid!!!
Once again... this is not NBA 2k16.
