Most of the time, the only people holding press conferences before playoff games are the coaches, but Tuesday evening, before Wizards-Celtics Game 2, Isaiah Thomas' son stepped to the mic, where he was hit with some tough questions from none other than his dad.
The elder Thomas quickly hit his son with a question he has probably been struggling with since the Celtics eliminated the Bulls in their first-round series: How do you stop John Wall?
The Wizards' All-Star point guard was impressive during Sunday's Game 1, finishing with 20 points and 16 rebounds, but now, thanks to his son, Thomas has the keys to slowing him down.
"Get fast shoes and I will catch him. I will block his dunk," Thomas' son said, wisely.
Well there you have it.
Honestly, this sounds like pretty good advice for guarding any player, but especially Wall.
If Thomas is able to slow down his Wizards counterpart during Game 2, maybe the Celtics will have to think about bringing his son on as an assistant coach. Or at least like a consultant or something.
