Before Hayward broke his hand he was scoring at a 19.0 point clip. More importantly he was shooting at .555%. The team was really beginning to click.
He's also one of the best passers on this team. He defends well, he rebounds well too. He doesn't need the ball in his hands to be valuable, meaning he plays well with others. That point alone is huge on this Celtic team.
The player(s) that have taken his minutes and shots are not anywhere near as efficient as Gordon. That's the reason we are struggling.
The Celtics are one of the worst shooting teams percentage wise in the NBA. We have the players with the worst shooting percentages taking the most shots each game.
So yes, get well and come back soon Gordon, this team certainly misses you.
