During my morning run, I was thinking about our opening game of the season against the Cavs. I remember Hayward jumping for the alley oop from Kyrie and being fouled by Crowder, LeBrick, and others. I am not saying the Cavs intended to injure Hayward. But they sure didn't mind roughing him up; and, if he broke a bone, oh well. It it be really nice if this Celtic team rises up and beats LeBrick. The extra playing time that Jaylon and Jason received throughout the season because of the absence of Hayward proved to be a benefit in preparing them for the playoffs.
The Celtics are ready for this series. It would be nice to have Kyrie and Hayward. But, this battle-tested Celtic squad can beat LeBrick. They have the talent, coaching, and mental toughness to handle whatever gets thrown at them. They are one of my favorite Celtics team.
Lets beat LeBrick!!!
