Report: Celtics Young Players Frustrated with Hayward's Minutes

[wiley]

Well, who knows all the background.

If Brown isn't frustrated with minutes there's something wrong with him.  I posted 2 months ago that Brown can offer more than Hayward on this year's Celtics.  I think so far that's been true and lately gotten more obvious. 

Still have hopes for Gordon's postseason level...but more than that I hope for him to get his groove back
next year.

We are a team of hungry sharks with only so much food available.  Hopefully cohesive sharks
in the playoffs.

All I gotta say about this report is, funny how this comes out now while AD negotiations are going on. Someone is trying to downgrade the value of our assets.

We've certainly had an overload of hot-takes and breaking news about our team in the past few days haven't we. Things that make you go

And then you have some folks on here who for some reason think these things are 100% true and that we're officially doomed

Does this agent also work for politicians in his spare time because he is doing a masterful job so far in making sure a thousand anti Celtics articles all come out. Next thing you know, some hack will say Kyrie has demanded a trade already and that Brad wants to go back to college and that Danny plans on retiring this summer with Pitino getting a second chance.

Every night the guy is jumping up and down with probably in the back of his head...is this the time I re breaknit and feel all that pain again?  It can’t be easy especially when it seems everyone’s on edge.  Eventually he’s just gonna have to get to that point where he says...if it happens it happens and just play.

Get JB involved quickly -- that's the way

Go Gordon

Wrong Thread

Old news and already addressed by the team with Kyrie's comments, Jaylen's comments to Kyrie then Kyrie apologizing. Tatum and Brown have been playing great ball so not sure its affecting them any.

Hasn't something like this been posted before? Even then, I don't think it's a non-issue. If anyone should be frustrated, it should be Rozier for literally offering nothing to the team... This guy is averaging a measly 8.7 PPG, and 2.9 APG in about 23 MPG... On dreadful and woeful 38% FG... No one should be pointing any fingers, nonetheless someone like Rozier.

But WAIT!

Some users here actually want Rozier to be our starting PG.... 

Nobody says that he should be starting. Stop going overboard, what everyone is saying is Rozier is starting caliber player.

Smart is playing very good this year , but its not out of the realm that at one point Rozier could have been a starter along side Irving. No way it should happen at this stage, but if both brown and smart werent getting it done, it could have been looked at.

Rozier also could be starter on some teams in the NBA.

And when he gets minutes he plays pretty [dang] good.

So you in short, are wrong.

You are not in the locker room. So im supposed to believe you too?

You draw your own conclusions, but its easily possible that problems are happening with ego.

Or not. Believe what you want. Two small comments in an ESPN article saying the youth have been frustrated without giving dates means nothing. Everything about the internal frustrations came out like 2 weeks ago. Since then the team has been playing great basketball, especially the youth. Old news, like I said.

That is in your mind.

When you can imagine and understand how basketball works especially , when you have too many players, too many ego's, a player who sucks but is still getting minutes, you do not need ESPN or anybody to tell you anything. You draw a conclusion that the possibility exists that players want more minutes, players feeling they are not getting enough time or enough value in what they think they are capable. Play into the fact that these players have been successful starting and getting minutes and you can easily draw the conclusion that something is going on, frustration and all that.

so your  "OLD NEWS , LIKE I SAID"  sounds like a child at recess sticking his tongue out.

You can be right , but you can be wrong as well. It's not "what you said".

Just watching the body language on the court, I'm not sensing anything.  The younger guys - Brown especially - seem to be fine playing with him.  Hayward and Jaylen out there together actually works pretty well because Hayward is an above average distributor of the basketball and Jaylen's game is getting up the floor in transition.

Jaylen's losing minutes to Morris and Tatum actually - if he were starting he'd be on one of those spots. I suppose Rozier could have a beef because he's probably losing a few minutes but he's getting plenty of run right now with Kyrie getting so many nights off. 

I'm sure there are quite a few guys on the roster who want more minutes.  Wannamaker probably isn't a fan of sitting most nights and Semi probably feels like he should be getting more time.  It is what it is.

Wanamaker is probably the only one who is happy with what he is getting. He is happy to be on an NBA team.

No doubt the other guys are frustrated.

They also can't afford to sulk and play poorly. It does not mean they are loving the situation.
