It has been too long since my last post… so with that being said let’s dive right in.
As you all may know the NBA Playoffs have commenced and teams are now battling for that NBA Championship and bragging rights.
Of course I am a Wizards fan and wanted to see them do well which they did, but round 1 of the playoffs wasn’t about basketball as I observed a young Isaiah Thomas grieving over the loss of his sister. I saw the pain in his eyes and immediately knew how he was feeling. If you have ever lost someone close to you (sibling, parents, grandparent) then you know how Isaiah was feeling, at least I do.
As the Celtics prepared for game 1 against the Bulls, I could just feel all of the emotions and I began to wonder how he was going to play through so much pain. Then I remembered, his sister would want him to go out and play with his heart and for her. That is exactly what he did, watching the first three go down, the building erupted and I was just happy to see him on the floor.
The biggest observation I made during the first two games the Celtics loss, was the amount of emotion and heartfelt resilience the entire team showed. They rallied behind their star and tried their best to help ease the pain. I just loved how the team supported him through his difficult time.
Fast Forward to game 6 in Chicago, No Rondo at this point, the Celtics put on a shooting clinic and played for Chyna Thomas. I know she is watching from heaven proud of how strong her big brother was for.
I wanted to shine a light on Isaiah and his strength and how big his heart is. He did what he needed to do on the court and it paid off. They are now heading to the second round against the Wizards which will be a lot of fun!.
Lastly, To the Thomas Family,
My Thoughts and Prayers are with you during this difficult time.
