Bradley lost his mother and had a child right before training camp in 2013, he didn't miss a single day of training camp. I think Isaiah is tough and will be there for his teammates. It's the best way to go through this, by just showing up with this teammates and get support.

I definitely think IT will play, as well, but everyone deals with things differently. Just because Bradley dealt with a death of a loved one a certain way doesn't mean Thomas is going to follow suit.

But, again, I do think Isaiah will play, and I think he's going to have a monster performance.

I'm guessing he's not jewish so they wont have to have the funeral today. In that case, play the game(s) and then fly out to the funeral in a few days. You can't change anything, but you can use it as motivation. If he doesn't play then the boys need to pick up the slack and show him that they have his back.

I think Crowder is going to have to step up and take on some of the scoring load. Horford needs more than his usual 6-8 points in big games, too. We'll also see how Bradley's hand injury affects his shot.

I'm in Texas. Rocking the Russell authentic with my Patriots belt buckle. Been a hell of a few days for the club. Let's win this for Chyna.

CS UP

I'm thinking that the team will rally around IT like a mother****** today.

SERIES PREVIEW

All season long the rest of the NBA D-League was playing catch up to one team, Raptors 905. The 905 posted a league-best 39 wins on the year and tied the league record for most wins a in a season set by the SkyForce in 2016. It was clear from the onset that this team was going to be a formidable opponent for anyone and everyone. They started the year 10-1 and didn’t lose a step, finishing it on 8-0 winning streak.

The victories didn’t stop when the regular season reached its conclusion as 905 swept its first-round matchup with the Charge and have been eagerly awaiting the winner of a thrilling Mad Ants, Red Claws series that went the full three games.

I'm going to try my best to not think of the tragedy in IT's life and enjoy the game. That way I can try to look forward to it.

If that guy doesn't want to play today though I won't blame him. This game isn't important in the long run for him, this franchise, or any of us really.

4+hours and I'm so ready. I've already headbutted my daughter a few times. Might have to throw down a few dunks on the driveway hoop to get the energy out. At 8 feet of course.

Might be a serious goosebump, full on crying moment tonight when they announce IT. Hopefully TNT shows it live.

I will be watching on csnne. Are most of you guys watching on TNT? and why? I would rather have the hometown flavor and I like MIke and Tommy a lot more. Abby also is much better than any of the national sideline folks. What do you guys think. TNT or CSNNE?

If I could, I would watch on CSNNE for sure. But I'm in Orlando, so TNT it is for me.

Wow, I am so sorry IT ♡ Having the playoffs to help cope while moving through crisis is actually a great thing. ...running on raw emotion, pushing himself beyond usual capacity, living purely in the moment. Engaging in playoffs after a wildly successful regular season is probably the healthiest thing for him as he works through crisis

So, so sorry IT

As a Therapist myself, I hope that he seeks out some professional help and group help along the way..

WE LOVE YOU IT 》》》
