Isaiah Thomas Rips Dennis Schröder, Accuses Him of Lying

Dennis Schröder and Isaiah Thomas’ feud dates back to last year’s playoffs, where they had various altercations, and heated word exchanges. After the Hawks won their playoff series against the Celtics, Isaiah Thomas even yelled “we’ll see you in the back”.

Now they are engaging in a war of words again. After both teams met for the first time since last year’s playoffs, Thomas said some not so nice things and supposedly crossed the line, at least according to Schröder.

During an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Schröder said that Thomas talked trash about his mother and family:

“I’m playing basketball. If he think that he got to curse at my mom or say some dumb stuff about my family, that has nothing to do with basketball. That’s his choice. I’ve got too much class for that. Next one, we are going to get it.”

Reading this, Thomas was furious, and denied talking about Dennis’ family.

“Yeah, I don’t talk about nobody’s mom, I don’t cuss at nobody’s moms, and I don’t talk about people’s families. So whatever Schröder said, that’s a 100 percent lie and he knows that. I always say, ‘Keep it hoop.’ When it comes to basketball, I talk about basketball and I’m doing trash talk and I’m going to compete, I’m going to do whatever I can to make my team win a game. But I don’t bring parents in it. I don’t bring family. I don’t even know his mom to curse at her like he said I did or whatever he’s lying about.”

He followed up his statement by taking another shot towards Schröder:

“From this point on, I don’t even want to talk about Dennis Schröder because he’s not even on the level that I’m trying to be on. I’m not even focused on him anymore.”

You can say things are getting heated between the two guards.
