Isaiah Thomas is always good for telling it straight when it comes to how he feels. With how intense Game 3 was between the Celtics and Wizards there was pretty much a 100 percent guarantee he was going to have a quote worth talking about. Thomas delivered and the stakes for Game 4 just got even higher.

"We don't like them and they don't like us"

It's been a long time since two NBA teams truly had the level of disdain the Wizards and Celtics have for each other right now. What Thomas said would usually be bulletin board material, but if the Wizards were asked the same thing they would probably give similar answers. What Thomas is saying is just the honest truth.

The beef between these two teams extends into the regular season when Washington wore all black, because they were attending the Celtics "funeral" and continued all the way up to Kelly Oubre Jr shoving Kelly Olynyk. The stakes of Game 4 have never been higher with both sides not just wanting to win, but absolutely crush the other side. Gerald Green said it best.

Game 4 is going to be a lot of fun. It will probably be the cleanest of the series with both teams more focused on winning the game than the fight, and the refs playing with a tight whistle, but it will still have that same level of intensity from Game 3. This is what the playoffs are all about.
