Since I don't see him on the court, I have to constantly remind myself of Gordon Hayward's vital importance to the Boston Celtics future. Think of adding Gordon to the team at 100% right now. Think that would make a significant difference? You bet it would!
I just got back from the gym and had a painful reminder of how excruciating weighted calf raises can be. The calf muscles burn from lactic acid buildup, but they also generate frictional heat during the exercise. They literally get hot. My next thought was how hard it must be for Hayward to be going through this punishment with a left ankle that is still recovering.
