I didn't realize how much this kid brings. He has an angry streak I didn't realize. Kid can finish. I can't believe this is real...

And the hair...

Yeh.  He's gonna get a lot of love from the Celtics fans.  Pretty much anyone who shows hustle and determination to win gets in our good graces.

Yeah he definitely has flown under the radar a bit.

TBH the only reason I even paid any attention to him was because of the back and forth stuff here on the blog with Crowder, lol.

But Gordon certainly has game. Kid can play and will fit in nicely in BOS - as articulated in the fivethirtyeight article by Chris Herring

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/gordon-hayward-is-exactly-what-the-celtics-needed/?addata=espn:nba:index

Is he enough to beat LeBron? lol who knows OR cares? But he most certainly makes us better and more competitive than before vs the heavy weights.

GH gives us another versatile threat in Coach Steven's ever-growing tool chest.

In BOS all we need is a SHOT.

Back in the day all Celtics Legend Paul Pierce needed was a SHOT...a CHANCE - and he got that in Summer of 07.

There may be even more moves made so hang onto your seats but GH is definitely a Big Fish, to me. He will help us.

We have our shot now and I'm ready for the ride.

TP for the link to the hightlights...if hayward can stay that aggressive for the C's it will open up a lot of nice open looks for the rest of the guys.  can't wait to see how this unfolds

His stats have gotten better every single season. He continues to get better, that's the best part. He said even this summer so far he's gotten better with his training

I love that dunk on the Greek Freak, and how he hung on the rim and turned to him.

I've been a fan since that Butler run. I'm excited for him. Now if Indy could have played nice.....

Did we trade away half of our roster already?

I keep telling people this kid is a mega player! I'm pumped to get him IMO this signing is much more impressive than Horford. Horford is a very good player GH is better!

Me too, or perhaps "Robyn and I are getting more than we thought" in other words a super-max contract.

Gordon is seriously underrated, especially around here. Last year, he was just as good as Paul George and Jimmy Butler. Stats based on 100 pos because Utah played at the slowest pace in the league: http://bkref.com/pi/shareit/Ea58T

I said this somewhere else and got totally attacked, but its true. He may not be as flashy or marketable, but on-court production wise, he's just as good or better than Butler and George. In addition, he's likely a better fit with our roster and our coach than either Butler or George.

People probably sleep those late night west coast games and not seen Gordon play as much as they should.  I work but DVR is my friend.
