can thomas stop hogging the ball when players are wide open..and he keeps passing the ball in the air

yeah, I'm not seeing him as the type of PG I want on the floor at the end of a game if I have a playoff team

You're joking right? He's a huge reason we've been winning games including on the path to winning this one

Fools gold.

Reminiscent of a young, selfish Nate Robinson: looks good playing minutes on crap teams.

You think a diminutive PG/ball hog like that wouldn't be stopped quick by either a decent team or any team in a playoff series?

It's just a sideshow, folks, but we need one this year.

um ok numbers don't lie 6-4 since we've had him (including the bull Lakers ejection L) as the clear best player on a team of nobodies. Every one of those wins has literally been him making huge shots and being the closer we haven't had in years... finally have a guy with a backbone

Henry has always been a thug.

I honestly thought that was Bill Walker with more facial hair these days. Brother?

Same guy. New name. Not kidding.

He's trying out for one of those State Farm commercials.

TP! Those are getting played out though.

[kozlodoev]

no, talking about closing out a game.  starting only matters to him.  he's a bench guy all day long.

Has he mentioned that starting matters to him? Cuz it would be news to me.

[relja]

Okay, this is just ridiculous. They BARELY even talked.
The WNBA is less soft.

You think talking is "tough"? You're a funny guy.

On a related note, this official needs to develop a thicker skin if he plans to last in the league. The game is not really about him.

Why should interaction between opposing players be cut out completely? If they want to talk it out, then just do it. It's a normal part of every sport, it brings out the competitiveness in the players. And besides, the NBA these days is imposing too much rules about pretty much everything.
Dahntay Jones BUMPED Draymond Green during his postgame interview and got fined 10k.

Walker and Turner got ejected for talking, whereas Wade got only a a f1 for this:

Not since he has been a Celtic.....I don't know why it s an issue

Exactly pretty sure he's actually said the opposite... that closing matters more. How anyone can hate Thomas of all players on this team is mindboggling... sure he isn't a superstar but he's a player I could see on a championship team, more than you can say for almost everyone else on this roster

I think IT is better than what you are giving him credit for.  He's a lot better offensively than Nate. That's a joke.

Better passer than Nate, but not a much more willing one.

He and that kind contract are just waiting to fill out a trade, and that's it.

He's not a 6th man on a contender, no way.

I don't care if he starts or not.  If it's a close game late, I want him on the floor. IT makes things happen.

He has to get an assist first

He has been putting up superstar stats since joining the Celtics.

Against better defense, those things would be called turnovers.

basing it on the very article posted by our own Jeff Clark on the home page on 3/6. 

IT is drinking the koolade for now but he wants to start because he see himself as a starter.

Personally I think you are insane, but you are entitled to your opinion.  I don't know of any team that wouldn't want IT coming off the bench.  He is instant offense.
