It's a sad news for the Boston Celtics die hard fans because what seems to be a bright season this year turns into worries and fears. Gordon Hayward, one of the best players in his position suffered a severe injury this week. It's evident that Gordon Hayward won't be able to play this season but the good new is... he is only 27 years old. I am very sure Gordon Hayward can come back stronger and better than ever. He has a very strong work ethic and he has proven it time and time again that he has a very strong mental game.
His injury is somewhat similar to Oklahoma Thunder's all star forward in the name of Paul George. Paul suffered a sever injury, a broken leg but he manged to come back stronger and even lead the Indiana Pacers to another playoff run.
The good news is the doctors nowadays were very good, there are high tech facilities that can cure the injured leg of Gordon Hayward. There is no specific timetable yet for his return but this kind of injury usually can be healed for more or less a year. Boston Celtics has one of the best rehabilitation program in the NBA, I am very sure that Gordon Hayward was in good hands.
CAN THE BOSTON CELTICS REACH THE PLAYOFFS WITHOUT GORDON HAYWARD?
Definitely yes, Kyrie "Uncle Drew" is still there plus the budding high flying sophomore guard in the name of Jaylen Brown is starting to become a star. Jaylen is giving the Boston Celtics loyalist a hope after showing an impressive performance against the Celeveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks. Jaylen Brown is averaging 20+ ppg after two games. The only question is the Bench of the Boston Celtics... after trading Isiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Olynik and other good players... the Celtics is not deep anymore unlike before. To be honest, they are even a better team last season because the chemistry is already there and the whole team love each other. Danny Ainge seems to be so greedy and ambitious, after hoarding a lot of draft picks... he is not satisfied with the line up last year that is why he shuffles it.
IT'S TIME FOR BIG AL HORFORD TO SHOW THAT HE HAS A LOT OF GAS LEFT IN HIS TANK.
Al Horford must show his A+ skills every game if they want to survive this season. Horford is not showing his superb skills that he use to showcase before when he was still in Atlnata. Maybe he is aging or maybe he is not motivated anymore, I don't know, only Al knows that. Horford must show up every game and bring his all star skills on the table if he wants to pass the second round playoffs. Marcus Smart is showing some flashes of brilliance but he is not a legitimate scorer and he is very inconsistent in scoring. Baynes must enforce his muscle on the paint and should average at least close to double double this season.
PREDICTION FOR BOSTON CELTICS: They will pass the second round, they will be beaten by the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1. Kyrie Irving will become a member of All NBA second team.
