Isaiah Thomas

[mac]

In his 4 games started, these are the stats for IT, compared with (Irving) and [Rubio]

19.5 PPG (18.1) [11.3]
34.5 MIN (31.0) [34.9]
50.9% FG,% (47.6%) [37.5%]
45.0% 3FG% (41.5%) [35.4%]
92.9% FT% (85.7%) [81.2%]
4.3 REB (3.5) [4.3]
6.3 AST (5.1) [8.4]
0.5 STL (0.8) [2.4]
0.3 BLK (0.6) [0.2]
2.3 TO (3.1) [3.4]

I know it's just 4 games, not enough to have an accurate idea based on numbers. But it's not bad for a 60th pick.

Let's say IT keeps starting and keeps putting up numbers like these until the end of the season. Do you think he still has a shot at ROY, or is it too late? How amazing would be to se a 60th pick be ROY? Personally, I think it will never happen, Rubio and Irving have too much media attention, but this could be the greatest story after Linsanity.

If we start winning like the Knicks and keeps this kind of play up he'll definitely be in the conversation, perhaps even more so than Kyrie.

I have added in the first-year stats of a "mystery player" in {braces}. Anybody care to guess who it is?

Can I take a guess? Is that "the other" Isaiah?!?

the original Isiah Thomas.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I'll give credit to Jalfa because he spelled it "wrong".

Please do not take a four-game comparison to His Nmesake to indicate that our Isaiah is on the way to being a hall-of-famer, but as long as we're making comparisons, it's fun.

It's 4 games ladies and gents! I'm as impressed as the rest of you with his play, but let's not get to excited just yet.

 

[Bricklayer]

Ouch. I think I am going to ask Jeremy to not only close the board to new members, but to make it invisible to visitors until th first wash of Isianity is over -- we get enough ridicule.

 

[UK_King]

I don't get this obsession with having to worship players and or destroy them. There's never a middle ground. Jimmers struggles = he's garbage. Isaiah's streak = ROY.

Might be time to just relax and say he's doing great and lets just wait and see how it develops.

Now, now. I put plenty of caveat on that!

Isainity? Is that what was brought over during the Norman Conquest? How about a few more while we're at it.

Isaition:
The feeling of joy when IT drives to the hoop.
(Also acceptable, "Isaiahlation")

Isaiamazing!
What you shout when IT dunks on an opponent.
(Also acceptable, "With Isaiauthority!")

Isaiahlchemy:
The science of IT.

Isaiahlcohol:
What too many Kings fans are drunk on right now...

My feelings exactly. Hope Thomas's good play continues and we can all enjoy it. When reading some of this one doesn't know whether the subject is Mother Teresa or a secret wish that Thomas fails. Both views are ridiculous.

I thought it was some fans having fun with a small sample size, while explicitly acknowledging it's a small sample size. Isaiah's been playing great. Let's hope it keeps up. That view is right down the middle, right?

It's part and parcel of sports message boards. You get used to it after a while. At least we have folks talking about our team and players. It could be a lot worse.
