 Actually really happy to see the kid land in Beantown, Was a fan of the Rondo to Sactown trade Granted we don't get Ben Mac, but I always felt like Thomas would be good here, now we get to see.

 I know it was the Kings, but last year he was one of only five players to average 20 points and 6 assists a game. Cheers to you Thomas, Great Luck to you.

 And watch at 2:45 on this clip, Awesome pass on the break, and the two hilarious defensive plays from the midget.

Kinda ironic that the last clip shows Thornton hugging Thomas  ;D The guy will be fan favorite in no time.

Thomas has some skills.

When was the last time we had a point guard who could dribble, pass, and shoot?

 pretty far from a PC guy in general, but kind of surprised so many people are referring to Thomas as a midget. I am pretty sure you wouldn't say that anywhere near him and is pretty much the equivalent of calling someone retarded or other non appropriate slang. He is a Celtic now lets show him some love

I think he needs a nickname.  How about "Little Lord Fauntleroy"?

Happy to have him here and love the value in both the trade and contract. Reminds me a bit of when we brought Dana Barros to town (20 point scorer looking to add excitement). He will certainly help with the tempo and is a dynamic scorer - also a very decent passer.

Similar to the OP, i was a fan of the rumored Rondo for IT + Mclemore + pick/s trade so I don't mind at all that he's here. Wish we could've gotten that original package though but I'm looking forward to seeing him play for the C's!  :)

I know right

I find it funny because there are good odds that Thomas is taller than some of the people calling him a midget. He's actually above average in the height department at 5'9" tall.

Also, is your username a play on words of "Cassius Clay?"

Famous broken clock Sherrod had an article on IT just prior to the ASG. Interesting read.
