    Westbrook is the best PG in the league and will be MVP. Thomas is the 2nd best PG in the east behind kyrie. Both will definitely be all stars

    • @greysonG10
      @greysonG10 7 років тому +2

      Easily.. Isaiah and Westbrook can do it all. If you take away the 3 from both of them, they'll still dominate the paint. If you take the 3 away from Curry, he's basically shit. Strange how Steph is such a good 3 point shooter, but is a horrible mid range shooter.. Klay Thompson is the best shooter on the Warriors tbh.

    Lowry is the best PG is the East, who leads his team doing every aspect of the game without a shadow of a doubt. Then Thomas and Irving competes for 2nd and 3rd place. Thomas should be 2nd cause he is leading his Celtics well, while LeBron leads the Cavs and Irving doesn't offer any other kind of co-leadership. All he does is crossover and shoot. #Facts

      Tristan Phoenix Thomas doesn't have an MVP candidate in DeRozan on his team, it's literally him as. the scoring option and the only person who can produce 30 in my opinion. Bradley has improved but he does too much on the defensive end to have enough energy to drop 30 on most nights. Horford is a "if you're open pop it" kind of guy and he just crashes the boards. Yes, IT can't grab boards but he's a leader, scorer and a great passer. He doesn't have a LeBron or DeRozan or a stand out center like JV or TT. He's not the best PG in the league but he's definitely top 5.

    • @bozoceltics1927
      @bozoceltics1927 7 років тому +1

      i change my mind isaiah straight up no.1 PG in east, stats overall both better than Kyrie and kyle, lead a team to the playoffs without a star or superstar

    • @PmK96
      @PmK96 7 років тому

      Lol Irving and Wall are better than Lowry it isn't even close to a debate, Irving is a top 3 PG with Westbrook and Curry. I'm a Celtics fan but Lowry is better all around than Thomas and Thomas is quickly closing that gap.

    • @Northsyde21
      @Northsyde21 7 років тому +1

      Tristan Phoenix Lowry is definitely the best PG in the East. He can do it all, the only stat Thomas beats Lowry in is Points per game. Lowry is better in every other stat and is leading the NBAs greatest offense of all time.

    • @greysonG10
      @greysonG10 7 років тому

      I really hope you're just trolling man.. Isaiah has been one of the best 4th quarter scorers in the league.. Most of his points come from the end of games. And he hit that and one layup to make it a 3 point game again in the final minute here. Westbrook (for once) came up with a big shot though to ice it. Russell has been known to be one of the worst clutch shooters in the league. He was like 0-5 on go ahead shots in the final second this season, and 4-22 or something like that in his career..... Educate yourself dumbass.

    • @blackmennewstyle
      @blackmennewstyle 7 років тому

      Why so much hate and negativity here!
      I love Thomas but like the speaker said during the video, he missed 3 crucial shots consecutively in this game during the money time when Westbrook were on fire. I really hope Thomas will keep improving and winning more experience!
      Merry christmas to everyone! Peace

    • @Nexus7even
      @Nexus7even 7 років тому

      I'm not disagreeing with you about Thomas but how can you bring up how he's ONE of the highest scorers in the 4th when you're comparing him to RW who IS the highest scorer in the 4th lol. 20 pts in the 4th in this game alone. Last 5 second go ahead shots are a tiny sample size... He hit the game tying 3 last 5 seconds vs Washington then dropped 14 in Overtime. & has hit loads of daggers this season before the last 5 seconds. Also his %'s are all way up in the 4th quarter, 42% from 3 etc.
