Isaiah Thomas: "Nobody respects us. Sh*t, numbers don't lie. We are a top team"
The Celtics are in 1st position in the Eastern Conference
Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas said that national media are not respecting the team which is in 1st position in the Eastern Conference.
Per ESPN, “Man, nobody respects us,” Thomas noted near the end of his six-minute chat with reporters after Boston’s off-day practice. “Except our peers, the guys you play against, respect us. But when it comes to, like, national media, that’s just what it is.
“We don’t have LeBron James on our team. We don’t have the Steph Currys and those type of guys. Not to throw shade at any of those guys, but that’s just what it is. We’re a group of guys who have been counted out our whole careers. We like staying under the radar. That’s just who we are.”
“S---, the numbers don’t lie,” he said. “We’re right there with all the tops teams in the NBA. I mean, we are a top team.”
