CELTICS 2010

In today's Herald:
Gordon Hayward's contract plan for June could alter Celtics' trade deadline moves -- only he hasn't thought about it. "I want to win a championship here... that's what my goal is. That's what my focus is."

Also, Marcus wants status quo.https://t.co/9LmAjQxtAq

“As a player, I’ve never really bought into any of it,” Hayward told the Herald. “Like, I don’t read anything, I don’t know anything. It’s not weird for me.”

“I haven’t thought about it at all,” he said. “I haven’t thought about it at all.”

“I’ve never done that. When I was a restricted free agent, I didn’t think about it. Then when I was a free agent, I honestly didn’t think about it."

wonder how theyll do sans point guards

Celtics depth chart vs. Hawks

theis getting beat up tonight

theis just rolled his ankle pretty bad.

ffs how good would this team be if they could stay away from the endless minor injuries

yeah theyve had all their guys for like 5 games this year

man atl is sooooft

yeah it's really hard to figure out how atl gets to even below average at defense

interesting to see what tatum can do if the other team just lets him do shooting drills during the game

celtics now have to play waters/green/grant williams/semi/jaylen and it is rough let me tell you

jaylen just needs to drive every time

hawks tvs guys talking abt how theyve fought and scrapped and hung in there lol

hayward strolls into a backdoor dunk right on queue

coach brad cannot be happy w this effort tonight lol

i feel like playing the hawks may be disorienting in general

celtics starters were just so much better even on a pretty ragged night

yeah jaylen-jayson-gordon were balling

Langford said he texted his parents he was starting and they thought he was in Maine.

feel like tatum is playing w more confidence since getting the allstar select hes shooting those off the dribble 3s so at his own pace

Oddest choice of music I've ever seen in a sports clip

Romeo Langford wasn’t worried about the trade deadline because “to be honest, I forgot I could be traded. … I forgot people get traded."https://t.co/Za8OwcrRVl pic.twitter.com/yNJeMYPRCs

i love him lol

Romeo was simply too high to be traded.

lol the whole quote

“I forgot I was in the NBA,” Langford said. “Not in the NBA, but like, I forgot people get traded. Thinking like college. If you’re there, you just stay there. ... To be honest, I forgot I could be traded. That’s why. I wasn’t even thinking about it."

ballin

Jayson Tatum is the Eastern Conference Player of the Week, the NBA has announced.

That's two consecutive weeks a Celtic has received the honor. Jaylen Brown got the nod last week.

I've drafted Tatum on my $$$ fantasy bball team every year of his career and have yet to regret it.

Apparently Simmons has Tatum ranked above Luka on his pod with Zach Lowe today. Maybe it’s just Bill being Bill but that still seems like a crazybridge too far

let bill follow his muse lol

tbc the topic was players from playoff teams you would want for the next 4 months only....tatum on an epic heater playing awesome help defense every night is very desirable in that capacity. luka rules of course but not on defense and i wouldn't be shocked if his first playoffs is a little shaky.

Yea I guess it’s a little apples and oranges bc Tatum is the best player and linchpin of a very well constructed team whereas Luka IS the mavs.

oh yeah that's the good stuff

one thing i noticed in that is he looks so much stronger this year from last particularly in the famous core strength just way less floppy on his shot and ball handling its really allowed him to tighten everything up

definitely--he's getting to the point where he can drive, weather the contact, and either get fouled or wait for the defender to go past him and put up an easy shot.
