The "For those who watch other teams...?" thread

[bfrombleacher]

For those who watch other teams, can you help me (and maybe others) get a brief overview of these players and games and answer my burning questions? I only watch Celtic games...

Isaiah Thomas
Who the heck is he? I know he's short. I heard Nate comparisons. I've seen him do some crazy layups so maybe he's not as much of a jumpshooter as Nate? Maybe more of a Ty Lawson type?) I heard he's a shot jacker but I also heard he's a good (well, better than Dooling) passer.

The new and improved Javale McGee of the Denver Nuggets
The possibility of the Lakers winning is enough to drive me away (and fortunately I did not watch the series. Heartbreak for Denver). Just how much better is the new Javale McGee? Is George Karl going to make him amazing? Or is he too stupid for salvaging?

Do the Pacers still have a chance?
Ugh I hate the Heat. Granger 1-10, Paul George 1-5, Turiaf and Joel Anthony scoring...not gonna repeat imo. Maybe the low production from Granger might continue but George should abuse Wade being half a foot taller...

isaiah thomas is the 60th pick from last year that stand 5 foot 8 and has surprised everyone this year

McGee, even for all the stupid things he has done I quite like, I think getting out of washington and surrounding himself with more mature players and a coach like carl will do pretty well. Raw offensive game, but it can be taught.

Pacers will put up more of a fight next game.
