lmfao. How does it feel being next to so many happy Boston fans?
I honestly think Boston has a strong shot, more than the Cavs, at beating the Warriors. They built that team perfectly to counteract what Golden State does.
Saw this elsewhere. Think Betrayward knew he was leaving?

I have to be honest. It was an amazing atmosphere. The crowd was after it, even when Boston was down big. It was loud, there were impromptu chants all around, and seeing all those huge banners in the rafters above the floor? Damn. Made me feel pretty sad, actually. After the game you'd have thought they won the damn championship. Cheering all the way out of the stadium, which was pretty nightmarish to navigate, but once you were in the arena proper it was pretty sweet. Cheering in the streets, it was pretty big.
Yeah, it's the sad reality. Places like Boston are always going to be attractive to players because the history and how much media attention the Celtics get.

I don't know how Hayward fits in with this team to be honest. How do you send Brown or Tatum back to the bench after the way they've been playing? Maybe they get rid of Aaron Baynes, but he's a big reason why their defense has been so good. I don't think taking Baynes out to replace him with Hayward will be a net positive.

It was reported that Hayward asked for a trade in summer of 2016 to Boston.
The Jazz were stupid. They should have tried to get picks from Boston for Hayward.
Uhh, you are aware they start Marcus Morris in Hayward's spot, not Tatum or Brown, right? They want to play 3 SF's. That's why they added Hayward.

Hayward is rear view mirror.
Eyes ahead for Rudy, Donovan and anyone else that actually wants to be in Utah.

I think The Jazz made the Rubio move because they thought Hayward might be leaving.
No sense bringing back Hill for 60mil on a 40 win team when they can have Rubio for less than half that and a 35 win team.

To me last nights game is a perfect example of one of the reasons Hayward wanted to leave. Do you think the Jazz get any of those calls in the last couple of minutes that gave BOS those FT's (especially Irving's)? No they don't. Also on top of that we all know from watching the Jazz games they would've gotten called for at least 1 or 2 fouls (like Horford jumping and bumping KD) in the last 1-2min of the game.
My point is BOS is one of the teams that just has that cache that gets calls their way with any of it's star players and after years of not getting most of those calls down the stretch he thought he deserved going to BOS and getting those would sound appealing.
Yes I know that sounds petty and stupid and I acknowledge I'm bias towards the Jazz but I have a hard time watching other NBA games without noticing calls that the Jazz woulnd't get or would get called against them in the same situations.
