He's gotten over the loss a little better as he's been working for next year.

No, he doesn't anticipate changing 11 of 15 players again this year. (Didn't last year either.) Likes this team a lot. Just scratching the surface. Anticipates the main core guys will be back.

Morris being wary about his fit: Ainge says he's been there as a player. That uncertainty and competition should drive players to be prepared going into camp.

Did not expect Hayward's follow up surgery as of a couple of weeks ago, but this is not unusual in medical procedures. But everything is healed (muscles, ligaments and tendons). Gordon's in a better place in comfort level going forward now.

Yeah absolutely there's enough shots for Brown, Tatum, Kyrie and Hayward. There's enough for everyone in Golden State. The better the team is, the more sacrifices guys have to make. It's a heavy burden to have to carry team every night though.

It's amazing people forget how great Kyrie and Hayward are. Very excited for Hayward this upcoming year.

Learning to play together: Everyone thought that last year w 11 new players.

Does your wife have burner accounts on twitter?: Danny's wife just signed up for twitter. He's trying to figure out the value of burner accounts.

Draft: It's a good draft, "not special special." Decent depth. Not one of the better or worse ones. A normal draft. But excited about who we could add late in the draft. There are things we could upgrade on the roster. Draft is a small step of that, then free agency. It would be easier if free agency came first, then you'd know what you need in the draft.

Winning is fun. Barkley, McHale, ML Carr were all fun to be on a team with.

JR Smith's play: Many good, smart players have done the same thing. It's unfortunate after getting the rebound.

How would Celtics have matched up w Golden State? We've played GST well during reg season. Our guys are watching the finals w curiosity, looking at the best teams, and looking at what it takes to become one of them.

I watched Hayward's preseason highlights. He's a fun man. Looking at his moves and his dishes to Horford and Kyrie. His 3-point shots. Man oh man. I can't wait for our death lineup next year.
