After a long nine-day layoff, the Cleveland Cavaliers finally know who their Eastern Conference Finals opponent will be as the Boston Celtics knocked off the Washington Wizards in an epic Game 7 on Monday night.
A key component to that Game 7 victory was the play of point guard Isaiah Thomas, who finished his night with 29 points and 12 assists.
Thomas spoke to media after the game and gave his thoughts on facing the defending champion Cavaliers:

“We gotta get ready for the defending champs, and we know that. The good thing about it is that we got home-court advantage,” said Thomas. “So we’re gonna be ready on Wednesday to try to take care of home court, and we know it’s gonna be tough. I mean at this point anything can happen, we really believe it.
“They didn’t give us a chance in this series. They didn’t give us a chance when we was down 2-0 to Chicago. We got the No. 1 seed and they didn’t give us a chance. They don’t ever give us a chance and we just keep going, we don’t care what others say.”
