BOSTON -- A frustrated Isaiah Thomas expressed disappointment in a lack of playing time after the?Boston Celtics?104-88 loss Friday night to the Golden State Warriors.I guess we gave up. I mean, coaching staff as well, Thomas said. We started subbing, it was bad. Especially, I only played 27 minutes. We gave up.Thomas admitted that his lack of second-half playing time wasnt the primary reason Boston lost, but he was likely frustrated by the Celtics poor showing against one of the leagues top teams during a national TV broadcast. The Warriors outscored Boston 31-9 in a dominant third-quarter effort.Thomas was subbed out with 4:52 remaining in the third quarter with the Warriors up 27 after outscoring Boston by 20 points over the first seven minutes of the third quarter. Thomas subbed back in with 5:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and Boston still down 19.Bostons 5-foot-9 All-Star guard finished with 18 points on 4-of-12 shooting over 27:35. He was minus-20 in plus/minus. Thomas had scored 20 or more points in each of Bostons first 11 games, including scoring 30-plus points in the Celtics two wins before Fridays game.Im not saying [the third-quarter substitution was] the reason why we lost, Thomas said. We couldnt get stops and they kept scoring and we didnt play well on the offensive end for the whole quarter. ... But we went into panic mode, for whatever reason. Thats why Im upset with that.Thomas was asked if maybe coach Brad Stevens had begun thinking about Bostons looming back-to-back and a visit to Detroit on Saturday night.Maybe. We panicked too fast, Thomas said. Any game is winnable. As fast as you can get up [is] as fast as you can make a comeback. We have a game tomorrow, we have to turn the page. But we gotta be more consistent as players and as coaches.It would seem unlikely that Thomas comments will cause any sort of issue with Stevens. Last season, Jae Crowder and Thomas were among those vocal about the need for Stevens to determine a more set rotation. Boston played some of its best basketball once the rotations were set.Stevens noted at his news conference that he understands his players frustrations with an uneven start to the 2016-17 season. The Celtics have played without at least two of their top eight players in every game this season with Al Horford (concussion) and Crowder (ankle) having missed almost all of November.The one thing I like about our guys is theyre disappointed after every loss, Stevens said.I think that its a long year, everybody knows its a long year. Weve got 70 games left. ... [Players] realize that there are areas that we need to continue to improve, but, at the same time weve got a really tough stretch coming up and I think were going to approach it positively.Thomas resolved to turn the page after Fridays loss.The best players have the shortest memories, whether good or bad, Thomas said. Once you go to sleep, wake up tomorrow, you forget about this loss. But I believe we gave up. For whatever reason, they hit us and we didnt hit back.Alex Smith Youth Jersey .

Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach.Until Saturday afternoon, Afif Hossain was a virtual unknown who had trained with the Rajshahi Kings franchise in Mirpur. A few coaches and local scouts knew him from the group of Under-19 players who are training for the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be held in Sri Lanka later this month. It took Afif only four overs to announce himself on the big stage.Primarily an opening batsman, Afif claimed 5 for 21 with his offspin for Rajshahi against Chittagong Vikings in the Bangladesh Premier League, becoming the first Bangladeshi to pick up a five-wicket haul on T20 debut. At 17 years and 72 days, he also became the youngest bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul in T20s.Brought into the attack in the fifth over, after Rajshahi opted to bowl, he was taken for back-to-back fours by Jahurul Islam, but Afif had the batsman leg-before off the third ball, umpire Nadir Shah giving Jahurul out despite an inside edge.In his next over, Afif bowled Chris Gayle with a full-length delivery for 5 off 15 balls, and let out a huge roar. Afif then took the wickets of Zakir Hasan, caught brilliantly by a diving Sabbiir Rahman, and Saqlain Sajib and Imran Khan to complete his five-for.ddddddddddddait till you see him bat, one of Afifs teammates said, soon after he had finished his four overs.Afif, who recently made three tall scores in Under-19 practice matches, is a big-hitter. His coaches vouch for his batting talent, one of them even went on to say Afif reminded him of a young Tamim Iqbal.Afif, born in September 1999 in Khulna, is a student of the BKSP, Bangladeshs premier sports institute that has produced many international cricketers including Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan.During the Dhaka First Division Cricket League last year, Afif managed only two wickets in seven matches for his school BKSP.He had been pulled up by the BCB for a suspect bowling action earlier this year, before getting it cleared in September.After the BPL he will re-join the Bangladesh Under-19 set-up to prepare for the Asia Cup. Afif will now be the most well-known member of the Under-19 side. ' ' '
