Isaiah Thomas says Dennis Schroder is ‘100 percent lying’ about him trash talking his mom

Dennis Schroder and Isaiah Thomas are engaged in some good, old-fashioned beefin’. The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks played on Friday, and after the game, Schroder accused Thomas of getting too personal with his trash talk.

“I’m playing basketball,” Schroder told reporters after the game. “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.”

On Sunday, Thomas strongly denied doing anything like that about, calling it a “100 percent lie and he knows that.”

“I don’t talk about nobody’s moms, I don’t cuss out nobody’s moms, and I don’t talk about nobody’s family, so whatever he 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 gonna trash talk, and I’m gonna compete, and I’m gonna do whatever I can to help my team win the game, but I don’t bring parents in, I don’t bring family. I don’t even know his mom to curse at her like he said I did, whatever he’s lying about. From this point forward I don’t even want to talk about Dennis Schroder because he’s not even on the level I’m trying to be on, and I’m not even focused on him no more.

Thomas also called it disrespectful to his character, saying his own mom called him mad after the game to ask if he actually said those things. Before talking to media on Sunday, Thomas had clapped back against Schroder’s allegations on Twitter.

Thomas and Schroder have crossed paths before. In last year’s playoffs, Thomas hit Schroder in the face, only for Schroder to earn a flagrant-one with his retaliation.

Schroder tweeted and later deleted more thoughts about that incident.

The NBA did retroactively assess a flagrant-one foul to Thomas for the hit, but there’s clearly some bad blood between the two point guards.
