so were a lot of other posters around here, most people were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt & a lot of people supported some of his draft selections, including me & i'm also guessing you supported some of his decisions too... the only poster i recall disagreeing with every single decision Isiah ever made was islesfan.
I hated Isiah from 2005 and on.
My hate only grew stronger as the years and losses piled on. What frustrated me was how many people really went to bat for Isiah until the bitter end - and some still do.
I have never seen a worse mismanagement of a franchise than what I saw with Isiah Thomas. He took a team that had not been to the playoffs in a few years and proceeded to make it into a bigger laughingstock than anyone could have imagined. There was not one player in the Isiah Thomas era that you could build around and he left us with absolutely no worthwhile assets besides Chandler and Lee. 5 years as a GM produced no winning seasons and a slew of overpaid, lazy basketball players. Going through that era has made me a stronger fan. I know that I now can withstand anything thrown at me.
