Gordon Hayward Shares His Take On Kyrie Irving’s Flat-Earth Theory
Holding your teammates accountable is important, and it appears the Boston Celtics have no issue doing so. Kyrie Irving has shined in his first season with the C’s, but the point guard’s on-court talent seemingly has been discussed as much as his theory on the third planet from the sun. While Irving wasn’t the first professional athlete to suggest that Earth is flat, the 25-year-old effectively has become post child for the debate. Though some members of the Celtics organization have at least considered that Earth might not be round, it’s clear Gordon Hayward won’t be joining this group of outside-the-box thinkers.

Celtics’ Walter McCarty Raves About Jayson Tatum, Brings Up Paul Pierce Comparis…
Share this: Walter McCarty played with Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce for six-plus seasons, and he sees some of “The Truth” in C’s rookie forward Jayson Tatum. Now, the Pierce comparisons with Tatum are nothing new, but McCarty, who’s now an assistant coach on Brad Stevens’ staff in Boston, provided an in-depth look at the two players in a conversation with The Vertical’s Chris Mannix. “He really reminds me of Paul Pierce,” McCarty said. “With the footwork and how he scores, just lulling you to sleep.

Celtics Roster Reset: Projected Starting Five, Rotation Amid Busy Offseason
Share this: These aren’t your grandfather’s Boston Celtics. Scratch that — as far as familiar lineups go, these aren’t anyone’s Celtics. Boston entered the summer with the potential for a roster overhaul, and that’s exactly what we’ve gotten: Avery Bradley, Kelly Olynyk and other ancillary pieces from the Celtics’ 2016-17 club are out the door, making room for Gordon Hayward, Marcus Morris, Aron Baynes and four draft picks, highlighted by No. 3 overall selection Jayson Tatum.
