"If Hayward is ready to go the Celtics look scary."

It's a big if to hope he will be 100% recovered from his gruesome ankle injury but fingers (and toes) are crossed.

I am so excited watching them interview Hayward almost on a daily basis. No more hiding in the weeds, staying away from the press. He is truly excited to get back and get on the floor.

I truly believe there are so many people who forget just how good a ballplayer he is. I can't wait for all of them to eat their words. He will come back slowly, and by January we will be a scary team for others to play against.

This is truly an exciting time to be a Celtics fan!!!

I know I haven't forgotten. To add to your thoughts, Gordon seems like the type of player who really understands how to fit in with a team and the flow of a game, as do many of our players. This team really has the potential to be a living breathing embodiment of a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Hayward completely changes the capabilities of this team. We'll be a more athletic version of GS with superior defense.

If other teams aren't fearing us yet, they will be.

Perfect analogy, we are younger and deeper, we should be able to wear them out. Our defense is gonna be fierce, we can play small, big, fast, shoot, run....

Zeke, on Hayward:
