Regardless of his basketball ability, I’m really glad we have Isaiah on our team over Kyrie from a personality standpoint. I could never imagine Isaiah giving such a tone-deaf, fake, and self-absorbed interview like the one Kyrie gave yesterday.

personality wise IT is such a gi-normous upgrade over Kyrie. I think all the weird inexplicable locker room issues the team was prone to are going to vanish overnight now.

Is this dude going to play this year?

Is this dude going to play this year?

This season? Yes, absolutely.

This year(Dec 31st or before). Yet to be determined.

They are going to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible that when IT makes his debut, he's fully healthy, not rushed, and ready to play out the season and playoffs from that point on. If that means he comes back Jan. 15, instead of Dec. 10th, so be it.

Does that mean he is participating?

Am I the only one that finds it weird that Kyrie Irving was watching a feed of Isaiah Thomas practicing?

Kevin Durant isn't the only insecure guy in the nba. Kyrie's worst nightmare is for the Celtics to under perform and the cavs to get stronger.

Both are very strong possibilities.

If the Cavs do as well or better than last year, and the C's do worse...his rep will take a real hit.

To be fair, Westbrook was too.

I hope Cavs are being because IT is further along than we think

Kind like they did w Bynum

Honestly, it is incredibly positive news IMO. Read the article.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...valiers-expect-isaiah-thomas-hip-play-january

"Thomas' rehab has gone so well the Cavs have had to urge him to be patient with his eventual return date, sources said, as the team is hopeful it will make a fourth straight trip to the Finals and need him well into June. "

Cavs are doing the right thing here and it should be really exciting he's feeling this good on this new treatment plan.

Back by January would mean he'll only miss around 30 games. This sounds like it could end up being best case scenario for us.

Wow this would be FANTASTIC if true.

As an aside, what if he comes back and scorches the league for a month- does his trade value go up if they go that route?

Either way, you can sit LBJ for 5-10 mins with IT out there- homie can light it up.

Yet another mechanism to allow LBJ to rest- which to me was the sole goal this offseason.
