Wednesday's Hot Clicks: Isaiah Thomas Makes Cleveland Debut, Shuts Down Boston Troll /

Isaiah Thomas dazzles in debut, destroys Twitter troll

Isaiah Thomas made his long-awaited return to the court last night, scoring 17 points in 19 minutes as the Cavs downed the Blazers. All in all, it was a great night for Thomas. He received a huge ovation from the Cleveland fans, his son was hilarious in the postgame interview and the Cavs snapped their three-game losing streak. Seems like a happy ending, only it came with some drama earlier in the day. Since Thomas won't be playing tonight against the Celtics as it's the second night of a back-to-back, he asked the Celtics not to play a video tribute for him. Seems like a fair request, except for the one Boston writer had a problem and told IT to "get over yourself." Thomas did not like this comment and quickly told that writer to shut the F up (but in different words).

This guy is really, really good at Tetris

Congrats to Jonas Neubauer, who became the first ever player to score 300,000 points in under two minutes (and he did it by accident). I've watched this twice and I can't believe how good he is.

Lovely Ladies of the Day

Our good pals Dessie Mitcheson and Kayla Fitzgeraldare on the new season of The Amazing Race, which debuts tonight on CBS. You should really make an effort to watch and support them. I'm so excited, I'm breaking all the rules and declaring them both today's LLODs (click for full-size gallery).

As if Taxi, Twins and It's Always Sunny aren't enough reason to love Danny DeVito, this story about him dropping everything to hear John Carlos speak should clinch it.

This was a strange play

Crazy play. Manu threw the ball in on accident, but the refs didn’t count the basket at first... Michael Beasley kept playing. 😂 https://t.co/G3m3OGSU1G
