It’s almost 2016, and by now most of us have accepted that the word “thirsty” now has multiple meanings. But did you know that you can use the word in basketball terms?
The quote of the night comes from Evan Turner, who was asked why the Celtics are forcing so many turnovers this season (the Wizards committed 24 turnovers Friday night). “We have some thirsty-ass ball guards,” Turner said after the game.
Not sure if that one will catch on as quickly, but it was still probably hilarious to see the look of pure confusion on a lot of reporters faces.
Isaiah Thomas, Marcus Smart, and Avery Bradley are going to have to remain thirsty if the Celtics are going to have any chance of competing this year.
