Okay, we all need to take a deep breath and relax. The Celtics recent play has been tough to watch but overall the future is very bright. So remember....
1) We are still in first place. Yep, four losses in a row and we are still in first place. Toronto has lost 4/7 and Clevland has melted down. Ya, we are struggling. but alot of teams struggle mid year.
2) Tatum and Brown are gonna be really good. I don know how good. Good starters? All stars? All NBA? I dont know, but i know they will improve and they are alreayd solid starters right now. They have struggled recently, and seeing as how they are 21 and 19 that is going to happen. We were spoiled by a very strong start from both, but just because they have hit a rough patch doesnt mean we forget how good they can be, and will be again. Remeber how clutch ttaum has been this seaosn? Remember when Brown was arguably the best player on the floor vs Golden State? Our future is bright, and the reps Brown and Tatum get will make a better in the long run.
3) We arent winning the chip this year. We could make the finals without making a move, but with or without Hayward, or Lou Willians, or Tyreke Evans, we arent beating the warriors. So lets not make a panic move. Keep the powder dry and prepare to make a run at AD, or even Kwahi, when the time or price is right.
4) Hayward will be back, maybe this year for sure by next year. Our offense may be bad, but we are adding an excellent offensive player for nothing! This isnt a maybe, this isnt a gamble on a draft pick or a run at a free agent. He is coming back, and he will help the team alot. Untill then our young guys get some experience. We will be better for it.
Life is still good, even if the Celtics havent been the last four games.
