Being a person who had reoccurring similar injuries year after year growing up it was incredibly frustrating.it was like “oh no not again .” Especially hard if you’re in a big role and the team is really counting on you.
It’s a big mental hit to get injured continuously. I really feel for these guys and really get behind them ‘cuz I know it suuuuucks. You gotta consciously fight off maladaptive beliefs and have a lot of hope and patience. All along the fans can be nasty . Blaming you for getting injured. I mean that’s pretty messed up I think we all can admit.
If Hayward was good ego wise to accept a bench role HELL YEAH . It’s not my money. I realize it’s incredibly unlikely but I think it’s better to approach the year positively. That we will have relatively good health and a squad of
Smart Brogdon
Jaylen Hayward
Tatum. Grant Williams
Horford
Rob
Pritchard I currently view as IDEALLY an incredible 3rd stringer. No disrespect. His talent level is insane to me.
They’d need a bit more help down low but between Brogdon, Rob, Horford , Hayward .. those are sone big brain players to me. I don’t benieve in black cats do I’d fo this. But I understand the feelings against it, absolutely.
