When the Boston Celtics signed free agent Gordon Hayward to a max contract this past summer, the organization took a major step forward. That was even before they completed a blockbuster trade for Kyrie Irving.However, in the very first game of the year, Hayward suffered one of the most gruesome injuries ever seen on a basketball court, visibly dislocating and breaking his ankle at the anguish of himself and everyone watching.Obviously, the road to recovery will not be an easy one and will take some time.

"Coming from a different team, you talk about what was the perception of this team when you were at another team," Paul explained . "People a lot of times don't think about that. You want to know, so you try to make sure that you can try to correct those things…We want to play up-tempo and all that different type of stuff, but it's no secret that the NBA champions (for) the past six, seven years have all been top 10 in defen
