PLAYOFFS - GAME-1: (8) Bulls @ (1) Celtics – 6:30PM, Sun. 04-16-17 – TNT/CSN

[BRUNiNHO91]

I think IT should head home. 22 year old sister, he remembers when she was born and watched her grow up.

How unfair is life? This is supposed to be a great time for the Thomas family, ITs time to shine, so much joy. And the family has this kind of tragedy. I don't even want to watch the game. I just want him to feel better. So helpless.

Apparently they were very close and she loved to watch him play. How awful..I feel so much for the guy it's unreal.

Mixed emotions about this game. Just want IT and his family to be OK. So much in life more important than basketball

[GoCeltics123]

Good for them doing the moment of silence

[Darth Celtic]

Shaq. You the man.

[SichtingLives]

$hitstomp the Bulls right here. I don't care how much or how little IT can give us, guy is a f'n warrior for even being on the floor right now. It's time to take care of business. I've been worried about our supporting cast stepping up but i'm not anymore. They're gonna show up and get it done. Let's go.

Aw man. This is almost depressing to watch.

[KobeBryant24]

This is so sad

[Parliament10]

Very emotional for IT.

See him teary eyed, during Warm-ups.

Amen to you Brotha.

[GreenBloodedC]

I don't even know how IT can play.
My Aunt died last year, and I was absent from class for 2 weeks.

We are with you, IT.

Homie went in on the Anthem.

This is going to be an incredibly odd/emotional game to watch.

So long as the team isn't pressuring IT into playing, I trust that he is capable of deciding how to deal with his grief in a way that feels productive for him. If he wants to go home to grieve, he should go home. If he wants to play basketball and go home later, he should play basketball. If he changes his mind midstream, then he should switch things up.

That clip of Thomas with AB killed me and the home feed stream showing how hard he's fighting tears in warmups is killing me. Just the fact he's going out there to play alone has made him immune from criticism from me. Dude could not score a single point all playoffs and I will applaude that man.

Couldn't have said it better brother. Win or lose. Doesn't matter. IT gets the automatic VC, period. End of story. This about family. All of Boston got you tonight IT.

Thank you League Pass for blacking out the game in my area. I'm about 500 km away from Boston, and paid for the whole season.

I guess I'll do something else, maybe knitting.

Ubuntu

[BRUNiNHO91]

I swear if anybody poops their pants in this game I'll be so mad.

DO IT FOR ISAIAH!

[ValenciaCeltics]

Lot of support for IT and his family. So unfair what happened.

This is my first post in this forum, I hope that It brings a win in the Game-1. You never know how the team is going to react to yestarday terrible new, but I still expect that the team becomes, if possible more than ever, a family.
Anyone else is supporting the Celtics from Spain?
