Well, since "he has another <something> coming", and think, as a verb, is no such thing, I'd say thing is more like some thing...
Actually, while rarely used as one, "think" is, indeed, a noun.
This is a really interesting website on the "thing" vs. "think" debate, as well, and pretty much covers everything you ever wanted to know about it

Oh, and please don't get me started on "I could care less." Yes, I'm a stickler for this kind of stuff. If you think I
couldn't care less, you've got another
think coming
