Isaiah Thomas should be in the MVP conversation

[shocka1212]

Ross about to dunk on everyone at the Boston garden tonight. Lol

[shadymcgrady]

Guys were side tracking here, OP pituitary gland had a flood of endorphins caused by Isaiah Thomas doing something to win him a bet and hence foolishly went and posted the guy as an MVP candidate. Either he's truly stupid or he was overtaken with joy at the time both of which makes him less credible from a basketball standpoint

[Goat Milk]

Im not sure what this incessant ramble is trying to prove but

A) Melo is currently not a good player, and most people agree with me. He is team cancer. Period


B) Attacking Terrence Ross as a "D league level player" doesn't add anything to your Melo argument.

It just makes you look uneducated in the NBA, which ultimately undermines anything you say about Melo.

Everybody and their mother knows that T-Ross is a blue chip youngster.

If Carmelo Anthony isn't a good player, then what is Terrence Ross? An awful player?

If you guys want to end this debate quickly just watch the next game that the Brooklyn Nets play.. tons of awful players.

[KRIT]

Haha nice debate in here. Let me finish it off.

IT is a great player. He is probably somewhere between the 10th-20th best player in the NBA.

Carmelo was good. I actually think Melo was underrated back in his prime because everyone overlooked him because he couldn't win. Not sure Melo has had the right type of team built around him. Right now he is not better than IT. Back in the day he was easily a top 10 player.

Terrence Ross is who he is, a bench guy.

[terrenceross]

Terrence Ross is who he is, a bench guy.

Hes carved himself out a little niche and he should be in the NBA for another 8-10 years.

That sure as hell is not D-League level.

That's over 20 players that are better than IT2 and I didn't even mention guys like kemba walker, melo, klay thompson, Dwayne wade and andre drummond who I think are all better than IT. So much for closing that argument

[shadymcgrady]

Forgot Paul geroge who's Def better probably forgot more. Top 20 my a$$

[eidolon]

I still can't believe the Sacramento Kings traded Thomas for a nobody.

Like any list, it is all subjective. I agree with most of your list. I would not say that Draymond, Conley, Gasol, Whiteside and Lowry are better than IT at this point in their careers.

They haven't been a laughing stock by accident. Bad organizations doing bad organization things....

[shocka1212]

Whiteside isn't nearly as good as he's hyped to be. Doesn't deserve to be in the same sentence as the guys mentioned in that sentence

We all have our opinions

[rizespor]

Lol isiah Thomas is garbage. He's just on a shit team without scorers so of course he will put up big numbers

Boston has the 2nd best record in the East.

[rizespor]

Boston has the 2nd best record in the East.

Yea "shit" team was harsh. They have a great coach. Anyway not a threat to win the east

[play4win]

i can play better than him and i never played pro.

[YoungGambler]

4th Quarter GOD

[DOM-Ganador]

That little midget did it again...led his team back from 18 down to win, against a "playoff" team?.?.?

And scored 19 in the 4th.

Kid is on a roll and anyone who thinks he is garbage hasn`t a clue.

Raptors without best player and been struggling.

Boston was favored by 6, of course they should win. Garbage!

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

He is a monster lately.

Also, just a note about the post above:

Lowry is raptors best player by every metric other than points per game. His net rating is better than derozans. He's like top ten in the league in most advanced performance metrics.

[rizespor]

I'm not much of a stats guy Mo. I just go by what I see watching games.

Also, I have not watched a single raptors game this year. So I will definitely take your word for it

[YoungGambler]

yeah i'd have to go with derozan, he really stepped up since olympics. I thought he was a flopper past few years.

[YoungGambler]

How bout them celtics? 2nd best record past two months

[Conqueror]

Isaiah Thomas just got his 39th straight game with 20+ points.

[shadymcgrady]

4 for 21 from the field last night to go along with 7 turnovers in a loss to the lowly Atlanta Hawks. But yeah MVP for sure. ..my a$$

[YoungGambler]

5 9 the God

[jjgold]

Playing great again

[lakerboy]

Cavs are adding players left and right.

[jjgold]

D Williams a hasbin

[lakerboy]

D Williams a hasbin

Not the point though. He can make a big shot on a playoff game at a critical moment.

this list.. and the last sentence are HILARIOUS.. Kemba, Melo, Dwayne?? Blake Griffin?? dude do you watch the NBA? What IT2 does with the talent around him is pretty amazing. And this is a 5'9" guy that drives it to the hoop constantly, doesnt just sit on the perimeter and shoot 3s.. Im a wizards guy, the fact you say john wall is better shows you have no knowledge. Wall isnt even the best player on his team, so how do you have Wall on this list but not Beal. Id take IT2 over wall on the wizards any day.. Im not saying he should be in the MVP talk, because the MVP in the NBA is a fking joke. But you take the true meaning of a MVP, he is up there. Besides Lebron, Harden, and Westbrook who is more valuable TO THEIR TEAM? Yeah Durant, Clay, Steph are all better but none of them deserve a MVP playing on that team. And anyone playing on a non-playoff or a 7 or 8 seed team deserve it. Someone leading the scoring on a team that could realistically win the east could deserve it though..

Like i said though, no point in talking about him getting it though, cause he is not more valuable than a Lebron/Harden/Westbrook.. that list is the worst thing ive ever seen of players better than IT2 though

Hmm. great insight. Probably about as good as you saying Dwayne Wade is better than Isaiah Thomas
