Los Angeles Lakers fans, man, you have to just feel bad for Isaiah Thomas. Only 2 years ago, he was talking about the Boston Celtics “backing up the Brink’s truck”, expecting a huge payday. This was after a season in which he led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, was top-5 in MVP voting, and led the league in points in the fourth quarter.
Recently, he was buried at the end of the bench on a Denver Nuggets squad that was able to capture the number two seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
