Isaiah Thomas Says Kobe Bryant Has Assisted with Film Prep Since Game 2 vs. Bulls

Boston Celtics star Isaiah Thomas has been outstanding in the playoffs and, apparently, he has been getting some help from another former star. 

Per A. Sherrod Blakely of CSN, Kobe Bryant has been reviewing game film with the Celtics point guard before and after games.

The practice apparently started after Game 2 against the Chicago Bulls when the team was down 0-2. Boston has won six straight games since that point.

Thomas has been especially impressive in leading the Celtics during this stretch, including a 53-point showing Tuesday in the Game 2 overtime win over the Washington Wizards.

The 5'9" guard had by far the best season of his career in 2016-17, averaging 28.9 points per game to rank third in the NBA. Of course, it always helps to have the advice of a future Hall of Famer with five NBA titles and 220 career playoff games under his belt (Thomas has played 18).

While Celtics fans may not like the idea of getting help from the former Los Angeles Lakers star, anything that helps the team will likely be forgiven.

Boston will travel to Washington for Game 3 Thursday with a 2-0 series lead.
