Gordon Hayward with playoff mustache - or a long, long, long, long way away

I went with the quadruple-adjective to simply add to Brad Stevens triple-long description of the time remaining before Gordon Hayward's return. Brad's three longs would most likely indicate a return early next season. My extended description puts him back on the court sometime around the time Al Horford retires.

My readers know I am not totally buying what Stevens and Danny Ainge are supplying us. Although the best chance by far is that we won't see Gordon until next season, the fact that he is training with a running coach in Indiana and not courtside for the Celtics playoff run is an indicator to me that his fast-track rehab indicates a slight chance of return late in the post-season if Boston gets there.
