OT: Gordon Hayward

That was heartbreaking. As a Celtics fan I'm crushed. As a human being I am sad for the kid. Goes to show how quickly a season can change. That poor kid has a battle ahead of him both physically and mentally. I wish him all the best.
Exactly, which is why I will never disagree with a kid who decides to leave early for the NBA or NFL.
He's a 27 year old multimillionaire, not a "poor kid." It's certainly unfortunate for him ( and for Celtics fans), but I think he'll be ok.
Those are injuries that you can fully heal from. He'll be out for a year, but he'll be ok. Celts got Uncle Drew. Gonna still make the playoffs.
So the wealthy don't feel pain? Man, I should have studied harder at Northwestern.
I guess I flinch at the idea of calling an 8th year NBA player a "kid". Sure, we're old by comparison, but he's not Peter Pan. Are Kyrie and Kawhi "kids"? They've got a year less experience than Gordon does. He's a grown man who will be able to handle the injury just fine.
I feel more sorry for the Celtics fans who will have to suffer through this basketball season. I heard one guy on the radio say that he couldn't get out of bed yesterday and had to call in sick to work.
