Over the weekend, guard Isaiah Thomas pulled a gang gesture on the court that made eyebrows raise during the Celtics-Raptors game!?!
Flip and watch what sparked Isaiah Thomas to go there…
CelebNSports247.com has the video when guard Isaiah Thomas was shoved to the ground during a fast break by the Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll.
If you watch, DeMarre Carroll was completely out of line for pushing Isaiah Thomas to the floor landing the Raptors a hard foul.
Of course Isaiah was pissed and ready to fight. During that confrontation Thomas appears to make a gun with his hand and point it at Carroll.

Here is what is being reported per SportsDaily:
The league is going to have a difficult time trying to prove Thomas was mimicking shooting at DeMarre Carroll when the video shows a two finger point. It’s not like he cocked back his wrist and blew on his index finger.
Bottom line, Carroll took a cheap shot by shoving Thomas to the floor. It’s bad sportsmanship and it was on the street courts that would provoke a fight. Carroll is lucky that it was the NBA. Isaiah Thomas was pissed he made a face plant on the court no thanks to DeMarre Carroll’s hard foul.
Take a look:
A day after the confusion Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald gave an update.
He tweeted:
“League source: NBA decided there is nothing to a charge that Isaiah Thomas made a “gun-like” gesture towards DeMarre Carroll Friday night.”
He posted today:
“Thomas on the bench with 19 points. His 20-plus streak is about to end at 43 games.”
Thoughts?
