"This city, this franchise, this family. It's different here."
"Get knocked down, get back up. Get knocked down, get back up."
"The outside noise? The predictions? Go ahead and count us out. We've been there before."
"There are no shortcuts, no days off. Every single night, lay it all on the line. Each and every time. That's how we win."
Isaiah Thomas appears in the Celtics preseason hype video, repeating a mantra of resilience and toughness. The Celtics open the season hosting the Philadelphia 76ers while pursuing an 11-year playoff streak. Thomas, a fan favorite who played in Boston from February 2015 through 2017, had a standout 2016-17 season averaging 28.9 points and finishing fifth in MVP voting. The video references outside predictions after Jayson Tatum ruptured his Achilles in the playoffs and notes his rehab progress with dunking videos. The message emphasizes no shortcuts, relentless effort, and scrappy plays as keys to winning.
