I sure hope this guy wasn’t just a system star in Boston and he can come close to matching what he did last year in Boston here in Cleveland.

This team sits on the shoulders of the 'Little Guy'.

Need his heart, IQ, dribble penetration, feistyness, will to win, shot making ability.

Simply put, we need the Boston Isaiah Thomas
 
IT you want this to be your team? It can be all yours when you come back.
 
I dropped some information on things I had heard about IT's recovery...why I thought he was going to be back sooner than later....why I told some they were worrying over nothing about him missing the season...

Great article on his current state of health.

(My guess is he's back about two weeks before Christmas)

IT making progress toward return
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Isaiah Thomas’ timetable for return seems to be accelerating from the original target of January 1.

Thomas, the two-time All-Star and All-NBA point guard, hasn’t played this season because of right hip injuries suffered last year. Weeks after the Cavs traded Kyrie Irving to Boston for Thomas and more, Cleveland set a conservative target of the new year for his return.

Though there has been no official update on that target from the Cavs, Thomas’ on-court work has increased at practice and before games. He received a full training-table stretching and treatment before Friday’s game in Washington, and then hit the court for stationary, one-dribble, and two-dribble shooting, as well as some half-speed drives to the hoop.

“I don’t know,” coach Tyronn Lue said Sunday when asked if he still thought Thomas would be out until January. “You know, the staff is doing a great job of just, you know, just trying to get him ready, trying to get him right, so, we don’t want to rush him back if he’s not 100 percent.

“They’ve been doing a good job of taking it slow, making sure they’re rehabilitating him the right way, and we just go from there.”

Over the weekend, ESPN reported that Derrick Rose was on a “minutes restriction” of up to 31 minutes each night. Rose missed four games already with a sprained left ankle and injuries have plagued him for most of his career.

Rose entered play Sunday averaging 16 points and 28.6 minutes. When Thomas returns, Rose’s minutes will go down, any way.

I'd love nothing more than to eat a big steaming plate of crow when it comes to IT.

I hope he can come back 100%!
 
It is ridiculous how all of you are thinking that IT will resolve all our issues!
Wake up guys... IT is the worst defense player in the NBA and our mean problem is defense!

IT will turn our offense back to "elite" which will be good enough to beat most teams most night.

The problem is terrible defense and inconsistent offense.

If we at least have elite offense, we'll be okay.
 
IT is a stud and will help a ton offensively

BUT we are already the worst offensive team in the NBA. With him out there, we could actually be even worse

We should consider being proactive about that. Either develop Zizic or Koby will have to make a move to shore up the front line defense
