Bill Belichick likes him some Celtics basketball.
The Patriots coach makes regular courtside appearances at the TD Garden during the spring. You may recall LeBron James nearly ending Belichick with a collision in March. Isaiah Thomas, the dynamic young point guard sent to Cleveland on Tuesday in exchange for Kyrie Irving, attended a Patriots practice with his sons this summer. One would think Belichick would have some opinion on the mega-deal. In fact, I'm sure he does.
He just wasn't going to share it during his media availability on Wednesday.
Reporter: What is your reaction to the big trade last night between the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers?Belichick: Yeah, I'm really focused on our team. I've got my plate full with that.
We're on to Golden State.
