Jayson Tatum Has Sights Set On Celtics Championship
After an electric overtime win against the Pistons, Jayson Tatum expresses his focus for the Celtics this season: a championship.
Former Celtics forward Gordon Hayward opened up about Boston’s stacked, but failed 2018-19 roster that featured an All-Star bunch and never managed to surpass the second round of the playoffs.
Putting together a team with the likes of Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown — albeit in their rookie and sophomore years, respectively — the expectations of Banner 18 skyrocketed. Yet, through a scatter of agendas with no primary focus of actually reaching the NBA Finals, as Hayward noted, Boston fell flat on its face and the once-superteam-like roster was split throughout the following seasons.
Both honest and harsh, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck understood where Hayward, now a member of the Charlotte Hornets, was coming from.
“It blew up. And we had guys leave and so on, and we didn’t take it all the way. So I can’t disagree with him,” Grousbeck said on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” on Tuesday. “Like my old sport years ago, which was rowing, everybody’s on the boat going the same direction. It feels a lot like that now.”
