I dont think you guys understand how much the Cs are going to miss GH. He was having an all-star season. The offense was running through him.
I guess if Jaylen or Jason got injured we'd probably miss GH more, but he's been pretty redundant since he got here - evidenced by the fact that the C's win totals really don't change at all whether GH plays or not.
Huh ?? Have you been watching ? They have won the last 2 without Hayward, at home vs losing teams. Hayward is the straw stirring the drink this season - we will miss him badly vs elite teams and also as the season grinds through a couple of road trips. Gotta get him back healthy. Maybe he will be rested and peaking come playoff time.
I hate it when fans state the record without player to say how unimportant a player is to a team. And I agree with what you said. This team needs Hayward esp against elite teams.
It's IDreamCeltics...a look at his Hayward post history (shame we can't look at the threads that were deleted) should tell you all you need to know about his opinions on Hayward. I'm amazed he was able to say he's a "longtime Hayward fan" with a straight face
Back on topic, the challenge will come against some of the better teams on the schedule coming up. It's interesting when you look at Gordon's on/off splits this year - offensively it's pretty much a wash (Offensive Rating 111.9 on, 112.9 off), but defensively we are significantly better with him on the court (Def Rating 100.6 on, 108.2 off) and his Net Rating is 11.4 on, 4.7 off. That's 4th best on the team behind Tatum, Theis and Poirier (who has played limited minutes).
We'll see what happens over the coming weeks. We should have the depth to survive his absence but I would hardly equate that to his being redundant.
