Lots of things have been said by Isaiah Thomas and the Celtics alike since Danny Ainge traded him to the Cavaliers, but neither has forgotten the great times they had together.
Thomas said earlier that he still had love for the Celtics, and it looks like the fans still have love for him, too. He received this huge ovation when they put him on the Jumbotron in TD Garden.

And it was all love as soon as he walked out of the tunnel.

It’s awesome to see that the fans still appreciate their former All-Star point guard. Yes, the NBA is still a business, but that doesn’t mean the fans can’t still show their love.
