Well, hopefully the Jazz get swept now in order to increase the chance of Hayward considering leaving.

Hayward scored 29 points even with Golden State hounding and defending him VERY WELL.

I'll admit, that's impressive.

Not enough to beat GSW though.

Would Hayward on this Celtics team be enough to dethrone Cleveland?

Strange move taking Ingles out at the end and replacing him with Hood.  Hood was abysmal tonight.  Ingles meanwhile was playing fantastic defense and hitting his shots.

Moving out of the west and in to the much weaker east might also be a motivation.

wont make you better than the Cavs unless Lebron declines. I do think it could put you in a situation. where you could be close enough to them that with a bit of luck you could certainly beat them.

If we reach the ECF this playoffs, Hayward would be a real possibility after his team gets swept.

Hayward was very impressive and would love for him to join the C's. The best  thing is we don't have to trade anyone we can just straight up sign this guy.  would be nice if we can at least get to ECF to impress him

You'd still need an upgrade (a legit starter) at the 4 between Horford and Hayward, but I think it'd be close, depending upon what other moves we made.

Now on the other hand, I still hold that signing Griffin alone would put us right in the conversation with Cleveland, let alone the other additions we make.

I just think we need much more of an upgrade at that big position that signing Hayward is only as good as the improvement that we get at the 4.

The problem with Griffin is injuries. He's a perfect fit, but [dang] he's a huge risk.

that is what happens when you add arguably the best scorer in the league to the best team in the league.

They looked pretty bad as a whole this last game though. Watch Cleveland spank them in the Finals.

Please no more with Cleveland. They can't lose enough for me.

I look at it a little differently.  While not the world's greatest Lebron fan, there is no way in heck that I want Durant to win a title with the Warriors.

The Jazz ain't stopping them, and not sure SAS/Houston can either...but if they reach the finals you can bet I'll be rooting for the Cavs all the way! :)
