BOSTON -- A frustrated Isaiah Thomas expressed disappointment in a lack of playing time after the?Boston Celtics?104-88 loss Friday night to the Golden State Warriors.I guess we gave up. I mean, coaching staff as well, Thomas said. We started subbing, it was bad. Especially, I only played 27 minutes. We gave up.Thomas admitted that his lack of second-half playing time wasnt the primary reason Boston lost, but he was likely frustrated by the Celtics poor showing against one of the leagues top teams during a national TV broadcast. The Warriors outscored Boston 31-9 in a dominant third-quarter effort.Thomas was subbed out with 4:52 remaining in the third quarter with the Warriors up 27 after outscoring Boston by 20 points over the first seven minutes of the third quarter. Thomas subbed back in with 5:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and Boston still down 19.Bostons 5-foot-9 All-Star guard finished with 18 points on 4-of-12 shooting over 27:35. He was minus-20 in plus/minus. Thomas had scored 20 or more points in each of Bostons first 11 games, including scoring 30-plus points in the Celtics two wins before Fridays game.Im not saying [the third-quarter substitution was] the reason why we lost, Thomas said. We couldnt get stops and they kept scoring and we didnt play well on the offensive end for the whole quarter. ... But we went into panic mode, for whatever reason. Thats why Im upset with that.Thomas was asked if maybe coach Brad Stevens had begun thinking about Bostons looming back-to-back and a visit to Detroit on Saturday night.Maybe. We panicked too fast, Thomas said. Any game is winnable. As fast as you can get up [is] as fast as you can make a comeback. We have a game tomorrow, we have to turn the page. But we gotta be more consistent as players and as coaches.It would seem unlikely that Thomas comments will cause any sort of issue with Stevens. Last season, Jae Crowder and Thomas were among those vocal about the need for Stevens to determine a more set rotation. Boston played some of its best basketball once the rotations were set.Stevens noted at his news conference that he understands his players frustrations with an uneven start to the 2016-17 season. The Celtics have played without at least two of their top eight players in every game this season with Al Horford (concussion) and Crowder (ankle) having missed almost all of November.The one thing I like about our guys is theyre disappointed after every loss, Stevens said.I think that its a long year, everybody knows its a long year. Weve got 70 games left. ... [Players] realize that there are areas that we need to continue to improve, but, at the same time weve got a really tough stretch coming up and I think were going to approach it positively.Thomas resolved to turn the page after Fridays loss.The best players have the shortest memories, whether good or bad, Thomas said. Once you go to sleep, wake up tomorrow, you forget about this loss. But I believe we gave up. For whatever reason, they hit us and we didnt hit back. Maurice Cheeks Jersey .

(STATS) -- Its highly impressive that Jacksonville State has not lost to a conference opponent or against a non-FBS opponent during the regular season under third-year coach John Grass.But the Gamecocks, last years FCS national runners-up, cant help but have the postseason in the back of their thoughts while they continue to dominate opponents.The Gamecocks (7-1) head into November on a strong note and with the No. 2 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25. They only trail Sam Houston State, which held the top ranking for the third straight week on Monday.Its a good sign for Jacksonville State when Grass says, I dont think we can play much better, as he did after a 47-14 victory over Eastern Illinois this past Saturday. It came against the most recent Ohio Valley Conference program to beat the Gamecocks, something their seniors probably remembered from 2013 while they raised their conference win streak to an FCS-high 21 games. They have beaten 28 straight non-FBS teams in the regular season, losing only to Michigan State, Auburn and LSU.Today was just a great team win, Grass said after quarterback Eli Jenkins accounted for three touchdowns and running back Josh Clemons scored twice.Jacksonville State received 15 of the 142 first-place votes in the national media poll.Sam Houston State (8-0) collected the most with 102 after the nations highest-scoring team had its season-high point total in a 66-17 non-conference win over Texas Southern.

The Dukes, who hold a slight lead in the conferences crowded title race, routed Rhode Island 84-7 -- the most points scored by an FCS team this season.Charleston Southern (5-2), Chattanooga (8-1) and Villanova (6-2) completed the Top 10.MEAC leader North Carolina A&T (7-1) moved up one spot to No. 11 followed by Western Illinois (6-2), South Dakota State (5-3), Cal Poly (6-2), Youngstown State (6-2), North Dakota (7-2), Central Arkansas (7-1), Coastal Carolina (6-2), Montana (5-3) and Samford (6-2).Rounding out the Top 25 were Grambling State (5-1); New Hampshire (6-3), which re-entered after a six-week absence; Harvard (6-1); newcomer Lehigh (7-2), the Patriot League leader; and Stony Brook (5-3).Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State fell from the Top 25, and a season-high 11 FCS conferences were represented in it, led by the CAA with five.A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the STATS FCS Top 25. In the voting, a first-place vote is worth 25 points, a second-place vote 24 points, all the way down to one point for a 25th-place vote.The Top 25 is released every Monday afternoon during the regular season, except for Sunday morning, Nov. 20, prior to the selection of the 24-team FCS playoff field.
