2016-2017 Gordon Hayward Thread (We Did It Guys! Fireworks!!!)

[Surferdad]

This thread is going over 130 pages.  Definitely helped many people's post count this weekend.   

On the whole, I think that more posters kept confidence that Hayward was coming.  There certainly was some despair, some anger and a few that had convinced themselves that he was staying in Utah.  On the whole however, we kept the faith.  That said, all Celtics fans and CB posters can be proud of this team and be excited for this upcoming season.

That is disgusting.  There ought to be a law.

Wow, a really nasty article on slcdunk.

The author makes some homophobic comments, saying Hayward is "coming out of the closet," and #HappyPrideDay etc.

The comments section is even worse.

Glad that garbage is not tolerated on this site. I get that people can be disappointed and angry, but some of these people are outright hateful.

I've been lighting them off myself. I love living so close to PA so I can smuggle legit fireworks into NY for my friends and family.

I live close to Boston but in the city south of it. Still I live near the beach and the Boston skyline and all is viewable.

Combination of fireworks in my city and fireworks from the distance in Boston is what I'm hearing now, and honestly it's beautiful lol. Much better now that we have Hayward.

Hey do you guys think Hayward will start over Jae Crowder? I head defense wins in the NBA? Do you think Hayward is as good at D as Jae?

Rudy Gobert...what a classless fool

Lol I was never a Gobert fan. He's very overrated and is essentially Deandre Jordan with a free throw shot.  Now I have even more reason to not like him.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think Hayward should come off the bench as a 6th man.

Seriously?

Yes, Hayward will start. Not sure Crowder will even be on the team in 2 days.

Expect nothing more coming from the state of Utah. That's why, it's Happy Declaration of Independence to the blue states!!

And Gordon Hayward, you will love your time in Boston. These Utah fools for nothing on ya.
