Isiah Thomas gives great quote
The Isiah Thomas show is going to lose steam as the year goes on. It
has to, right? There are only so many things to write about Thomas;
most of them have been written already; and whatever new developments

Magic vs. Isiah
I am an enormous Isiah Thomas fan. Yes, the player, not the human being. Its been tough to defend him all these years. He’s brought much of it on himself.

ISIAH THOMAS MIGHT PULL OUT
Even as the newly-anointed basketball coach for Florida International, Isiah Thomas is still running the same playbook as before; he wants to pull his team out of the “Coaches vs. Cancer” tournament.
