Jayson Tatum agreed with Gordon Hayward about the 2018-19 Boston Celtics.
Regarding the 2018–19 Boston Celtics, who started the season with some of the best championship odds in the NBA but finished it with a one-win, second-round playoff series loss, Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward were completely in agreement: that team wasn’t it.
Tatum reportedly said, “That (expletive) was terrible,” according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe (h/t MassLive). “You all witnessed it. Everyone has discussed it. Despite the fact that we had a very talented team, things didn’t work out the way we had hoped. And that’s acceptable. Men took a lesson from it, and everyone moved on.
However, Gordon was partially correct. Men would return from injuries, men were attempting to establish themselves.
What Gordon Hayward stated regarding the Boston Celtics in 2018–19
While Hayward had expressed his dissatisfaction with the 2018–19 Celtics in a less, let’s say inventive, manner than Tatum had, he addressed the team’s problems head-on on the “Podcast P” program.
On the “Podcast P” program, NBA player Paul George was informed by Hayward that “we all had too many agendas” (h/t NESN). “The primary goal was not to win the entire thing. Not to point fingers either. We are all human after all.
“Too many of us were positioned in the same way. Everybody needed the ball. With the ball, we all looked great.
The official turning of the page for that underperforming and possibly counterintuitive team would be a championship with Tatum and Jaylen Brown leading the charge, but until then, it’s reasonable to wonder if that roster set the Jays back in their ascent towards championship superstardom.
