      Gordon hayward avg 23 last season...shelvin mack his teammate on butler has been a solid nba backup for 5 years....and led them to the title game without hayward the next year ...if you have 2 nba player who play 5 years in the league then your not an underdog...stevens him self is a great nba coach...

      This year will be his biggest test! Managing all the veteran talent, mixed w/the young stars who believe they earned their spot, and respect during last year's playoff run. Finding the right mix, rotations, and which 5 guys play best together to start game, at end of quarters/half, coming out of the half, (1st 5 mins) in 4th quarter, & down the stretch. Who meshes, who gets selfish, who can't handle pressure, who shots when they should pass, who makes that pass, or hustle play that makes the difference. Who can't make free throws consistently in big games, who dissappear when lights are bright, but shines on the 2nd night of a back to back????? These are some of the many? 's Coach will be asking himself as year progresses. It will be hard, but I think his approach, team 1st mentality, and defense is a must policy, will lead the C's to a finals appearance at the very least! Truth is the East w/out LBJ, is soft and no one should stop the Celtics from being Eastern Conference Champs. Anything short of that will be dissapointing, and force Danny Ainges' hand to make serious moves in off season. Yet I think Danny & Coach think they have the team they wanted, w/all the players healthy. If Gordon Hayward gets back into form as Season goes on, he should become a force w/Kyrie, Al, Tatum, Brown, & rest of crew! I expect this teams last 20 games to be a complete 180 from their first 20. (Which weren't bad results wise, but the eye test told you they weren't where they needed to be) Excited for April, May, June & Let's go Celtics!!!

    • @lhsbandfreak11
      @lhsbandfreak11 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It took me until later in the week after the game to understand why Coach K had Zoubek miss that free throw on purpose, but it made absolute total sense. Both of his starting post players had 4 fouls, they hadn't made a shot from the field for nearly the last 5 minutes of the game, and if Butler tied it, I think he knew Butler would win it because of all of that momentum plus the cold streak Duke was in. He made up his mind that the national championship would be decided in regulation one way or the other because in that moment, he knew there was no way they could go another 5 minutes with literally everything that would be working against them.
