Former Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward, in a recent podcast appearance with Paul George on the latter’s “Podcast P” show, shared his insights into the unexpected struggles of the 2018-19 Celtics. Specifically, the Butler alum pointed out that the team faced challenges due to individual agendas overshadowing the collective goal of winning a championship.

Despite reaching the second round, Hayward acknowledged that the team never truly came together, and various players-only meetings failed to address the underlying issues. The Celtics’ season is remembered as a disappointment given how stacked the team seemed to be on paper, beset with internal conflicts and a lack of cohesion.

NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg joined Tom Giles and Michael Holley on “Boston Sports Tonight” recently to talk the failed season for Hayward et al. over; check it in the clip embedded below!
