    First off.... bull-crap loss tonight. We were rested, healthy, and at home. Damn.


    That said... a question was asked tonight during the postgame commentary during Celtics highlights....

    Question was regarding Isaiah Thomas's scoring - Webber asks - "Have you seen a guy his height (5'9"') be that impactful?"

    Answer - HOF Isiah Thomas answers - "only guy I can think of is Calvin Murphy... when he was at Niagara, then came into the league and he was averaging 25 ppg, shooting."


    Houston.. Rockets... represent

    There was a reason why Calvin was 18th pick overall in the draft....even at 5'9

    I always like to say that before ppl call him a 2nd rounder. 1st player taken in 2nd round. There weren't many teams/picks back then. Isaiah was 60th pick in the draft...last player taken. :eek:

    btw: Rockets also took Rudy T number 2 overall in the same draft. :cool:
