I mean if you told me before the year and playoffs that we would need to just get through Miami in the ECF to make the Finals, I would've taken that every day of the week.

In an effort to not falsely raise expectations Hayward hasn't gotten on the court and the medical staff hasn't had a chance to evaluate him to give an update on his projection.
Stevens doesn't yet know. I think this is kinda of wishful thinking on his part because he knows Hayward could very easily elevate this team ten fold in the playoffs just by the mere fact we can go from a 5 man rotation to a 6 man rotation team.

It's good strategy to leave it up in the air, and make Spo have to prepare for him from game to game.

Hopefully they don't help in the paint like the Bucks did all series. Heat just killed them with threes.

Hayward was involved in the shootaround, prior to the Raptor's Game 7.

I don’t think stevens says it unless he meant it.....he usually gives you absolutely nothing.

They rely heavily on 3 pointers. We’re the best defensive perimeter team in the league.
I really like our chances.

I think our defensive strategy is the complete opposites of the Bucks. The person I'm most worried about is Bam. If we shut down everyone else and let him try and do the heavy lifting I'm confident we can win this.

I'm not sleeping on Mia. I'm not into predictions, I just want us to swing for the fences every game!! I want us to come out trying to destroy EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY GAME!! Leave it all out there and let the cards fall where they may!! LET'S DO THIS (for my sanity)!!!!
NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(!)

Ok, I'll come back down to Earth. But I do think we have a good chance against the Heat. Rebound and guard the perimeter. Celtics in 5

I think out of respect for the Goddes Freya we should postpone this game 1 for another 3 weeks.
Someone let Silver know, thanks.

In my humble opinion were better than the Heat. We can shoot with them and we have better defense. There is no realistic reason we shouldn't beat that team.

I would like to thank the Denver Nuggets for extending their series. Had the Clips won earlier and if the Lakers finish the Rockets later tonight, I don't think we'd get this much rest in between series.

People are on a high right now since we just won game 7, but if we fall behind by even 4 points in game 1 there will be screaming here and Kemba will be dumped for IT.
