Thomas is averaging a career-best 28.2 points and handing out 6.1 assists per game for the 24-15 C’s.
Per the Boston Herald:
Al Horfordās eyes widened when asked about his mate.
āHeās been playing as impressive as Iāve seen someone play,ā said the veteran big man whoās been around the NBAās block a few times. āI mean, heās been doing it consistently since heās been back from that injury (strained groin early last month). Itās just been amazing to watch how he just manages to keep doing it over and over.ā
And donāt you dare think Thomas is caught off-guard by his late night theatrics. […] āI mean, not to, like, sound cocky; I just … I feel itās normal,ā he said. āHonestly, I work on all those shots that I shoot, and when Iām out there I know the fourth quarter is the time for me to be more aggressive. My teammates look for me to be that, and I just go out there with not a care in the world.ā
