BOSTON -- A frustrated Isaiah Thomas expressed disappointment in a lack of playing time after the?Boston Celtics?104-88 loss Friday night to the Golden State Warriors.I guess we gave up. I mean, coaching staff as well, Thomas said. We started subbing, it was bad. Especially, I only played 27 minutes. We gave up.Thomas admitted that his lack of second-half playing time wasnt the primary reason Boston lost, but he was likely frustrated by the Celtics poor showing against one of the leagues top teams during a national TV broadcast. The Warriors outscored Boston 31-9 in a dominant third-quarter effort.Thomas was subbed out with 4:52 remaining in the third quarter with the Warriors up 27 after outscoring Boston by 20 points over the first seven minutes of the third quarter. Thomas subbed back in with 5:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and Boston still down 19.Bostons 5-foot-9 All-Star guard finished with 18 points on 4-of-12 shooting over 27:35. He was minus-20 in plus/minus. Thomas had scored 20 or more points in each of Bostons first 11 games, including scoring 30-plus points in the Celtics two wins before Fridays game.Im not saying [the third-quarter substitution was] the reason why we lost, Thomas said. We couldnt get stops and they kept scoring and we didnt play well on the offensive end for the whole quarter. ... But we went into panic mode, for whatever reason. Thats why Im upset with that.Thomas was asked if maybe coach Brad Stevens had begun thinking about Bostons looming back-to-back and a visit to Detroit on Saturday night.Maybe. We panicked too fast, Thomas said. Any game is winnable. As fast as you can get up [is] as fast as you can make a comeback. We have a game tomorrow, we have to turn the page. But we gotta be more consistent as players and as coaches.It would seem unlikely that Thomas comments will cause any sort of issue with Stevens. Last season, Jae Crowder and Thomas were among those vocal about the need for Stevens to determine a more set rotation. Boston played some of its best basketball once the rotations were set.Stevens noted at his news conference that he understands his players frustrations with an uneven start to the 2016-17 season. The Celtics have played without at least two of their top eight players in every game this season with Al Horford (concussion) and Crowder (ankle) having missed almost all of November.The one thing I like about our guys is theyre disappointed after every loss, Stevens said.I think that its a long year, everybody knows its a long year. Weve got 70 games left. ... [Players] realize that there are areas that we need to continue to improve, but, at the same time weve got a really tough stretch coming up and I think were going to approach it positively.Thomas resolved to turn the page after Fridays loss.The best players have the shortest memories, whether good or bad, Thomas said. Once you go to sleep, wake up tomorrow, you forget about this loss. But I believe we gave up. For whatever reason, they hit us and we didnt hit back.Air Max 2017 Outlet .

Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.James Donachie never expected to play every game at Melbourne Victory, but he wouldnt mind playing a few in a row.Kevin Muscats defensive signing is one of three recognised centre-backs in the Victory squad, alongside fellow newboy Alan Baro and long-time stopper Nick Ansell.Under Victorys 4-3-3 system its a race between the three for two positions, and Donachie isnt winning it.The former Brisbane Roar man started in round one against his old side when soreness got the better of Ansell.The next week, Donachie didnt distinguish himself - though not many in navy blue did - in the Melbourne derby, lost 4-1 to Victorys cross-town rivals.Out the 23-year-old went from the Victory side, until last week when a knee niggle claimed Ansell again.So now Donachies back again. But will he stay there?Hopefully I can keep him out for a few weeks and hold my spot, he said, fully accepting his lot.I came down (to Victory) saying there was going to be competition. I didnt come down here sayiing I was going to start week in week out.ddddddddddddIt keeps me on my toes and makes me a better player. Its healthy competition.Baro, 31, has been an ever-present through the season to date, and Donachie said Victory fans had yet to witness his full potential.Spanish players are always technically really good players, he said.He can knock any ball you want, hes got both feet.The more games he gets the more confident hell grow and the more well see of his ability.In the straight shoot-out to partner the Spaniard, Donachie said he would keep up his effort in between games and hope to hear his name called out on match-day.I work my heart out every day and Ive been that way since I started as a professional, he said.Its decision making and stuff like that I need to work on. If I keep doing that then Ill get closer to being a complete footballer. ' ' '
