Hayward is a great basketball player, it will be a huge add on to a team that made the Eastern Conference finals.

The NBA will soon remember how good a basketball player Gordon Hayward is.

Looking forward to his return and his meshing with Kyrie, Tatum, JB and Big Al, Smart and the rest of the team.

He's going to fill so many holes.

He is looking good.

I still think he will be on some type of minutes restriction to start with. Probably he plays 6 or 8 minutes after starting then sits for Smart or Baynes. Then plays the last 6 to 8 of the second quarter while Tatum or Brown sits.

I dont think we take any chances with long consecutive minutes until we see how he holds up. Playing with pain isnt necessary with our depth when we can ease him into the rotation slowly.

26 mpg to start and work up to 32 by January  if he feels good.

I can’t fathom how a person could do that to an ankle/leg and the bones/tendons heal to a place where everything is as strong as it once was. Just seems impossible but I guess the human body is extraordinary.  I hope GHs body is super-human.  I look forward to seeing him thrust off that ankle naturally and without discomfort.

He has a long way to go.

How can possibly reach that conclusion from the video? You don't even know his current limitations and is set to start playing with no restrictions in a week or so.

Perhaps he didn't need the video to reach that conclusion.  Perhaps he is making that statement knowing he hasn't yet played 5-on-5.  On that basis, it's reasonable.

So far so good though, he looks fantastic in that video, especially his foot movement.

Yeah, but he'll be playing 5-on-5 in a week or so, so that hardly constitutes it him being a long way off. If anything, the video, along with the given timeline, demonstrates how close he is.

Nothing will fill the hole in his heart, though. Maybe if they have a 4th kid
