Isaiah Thomas on Scouting for the Celtics & Conference Finals Predictions

About this episode

Isaiah Thomas discusses his new scouting role with the Celtics and previews the upcoming conference finals while engaging in basketball trivia.

On this week's episode, I.T. opens up about his new role with the Celtics as a pro and college scout and what it felt like experiencing the NBA Draft Combine on the other side of the table. Then we dig into how round two shook out: Wemby’s Spurs absolutely dominated an undermanned T-Wolves squad and the Cavs overpowered the #1 seed Pistons against the odds with great team basketball. And now it’s time to preview our conference finals: Spurs v. Thunder and Cavs v. Knicks. In the West we have two teams with insane chemistry and team defense, in the East we have two somewhat inconsistent teams with a ton of potential. In our games segment, we quiz I.T. on playoff trivia, make him choose the three pairs of kicks he would want on a desert island, and award this week's No Days Off to Cavs' stand-outs Evan Mobley and Sam Merrill.  Have a question for I.T.?
