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

[CelticSooner]

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?

There is no doubt he will start.

CSNNE is airing a Celtics/Jazz game from last year right now.

Get to see a little Gordon Hayward action.

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.

HAHA who is the "trash" and "shid" now Gobert? Starting that "emoji war" haha...

They're burning his jersey in Utah lol

Jokes on that guy. He was wearing socks with sandals.

That is disgusting.  There ought to be a law.

A law prohibiting burning your own clothing?  Sounds rather insane to me.

I'd add that Crowder's D wasn't all that great in the playoffs last year.

No. From wearing socks with sandals... Unless you're Canadian. Then it's cool.

Do we still have the Horford thread as well from last year? (I think we do).

This thread and that Horford one should both be treasured on this forum. Last 2 years we've gotten 2 marquee FA signings, when before that, the C's never got any marquee FA's. 

What a time to be a C's fan.

Still a lot of work to be done to get Banner 18, and also have to hope some of these picks develop well!

With these last 2 offseasons, I think we can officially bury the "FAs don't want to come to Boston" myth that was constantly pushed by the fans/media. It was simply not true then and now there is evidence to back that up.

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.

Some posts from Wolves and Heat blog actually liked how hayward did it. Some people at random blogs (PTR etc) condemned the SLCdunk article.

philly maybe trusting the process, but were #trustingtheassets. Go celtics, and welcome Gordon!

[chambers]

Finally someone that Lebron will have to guard vs the Celtics. First time he's had to play any D since Pierce left.

Loving our new Big 3. Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford, and Gordon Hayward.

Thomas is our Paul Pierce.
Horford is our Kevin Garnett.
Hayward is our Ray Allen.
