Celtics' Isaiah Thomas making a case for a star turn

The Comcast SportsNet New England broadcast returned from a fourth-quarter TV timeout Monday by highlighting a big scoring night for Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas against the New Orleans Pelicans. After showing clips of Thomas knocking down a couple 3-pointers and a one-foot runner, color commentator Brian Scalabrine -- in his booming Scalabrine voice -- sealed the segment by declaring, "Isaiah Thomas is absolutely destroying this Pelicans defense."

Unbeknownst to Scalabrine, who was watching the highlights roll on a courtside monitor, Thomas was standing right in front of him grabbing a piece of gum before checking back into the game.
