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!!!

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.

"He came into my office right after the game and said 'that's the shot I missed against Duke'..."

Gordon, the pain of losing a championship is something that many champions must endure. But it is a powerful learning tool. You have proven yourself to be a great player. Please come to the Celtics and reunite with your old coach. And may the two of you win a championship together in Boston. Come to the green, it is destiny!

Gordon hayward fan here

I graduated 1 year after the championship run from Butler. It was the most exciting game ever and so disappointing. I want to watch it a few more times hoping the next time it will go in.

Welcome to Boston GH!! Now you can finish what you started with Brad Stevens, and that is to win the NBA championship.. I still got goosebumps reading that players tribune

At 6:36 after Gordon Hayward says "I missed the shot... that's what happened" he looks like he's about to kill himself out of internal anger

Prayers to Hayward! Hope he comes back strong! 😥🙏

The pain deep down in Gordon’s eyes. It hurts to see

“If that shot goes in I’m gonna get killed”

Brian Zoubek needs a video made about his season at Duke. Won't be as cool as this, but it would represent the kind of old-school players that Duke was known for before the one and done era.

I watched this game and when he let go of that shot I felt like it was in. It just felt like it was good, the moment, the story behind Butler's run, it just felt good. And then a moment later I was like WHAT THE FUCK.
