It's been a tough year for Isaiah Thomas, who just wanted to be wanted last summer when he signed with the Phoenix Suns to come off the bench behind returning starters Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe.
It started in Phoenix and continues in Boston. He still comes off the bench, but has led the Celtics to a hot finish and a playoff berth, where he became one of only a handful of players in NBA history to post a 22 point, 10 assist, 5 rebound stat line in his first ever playoff game.
