    Robert Williams, Season 5: Warping the Space-Time Continuum

    Cautiously optimistic that RWIII was intentionally just operating at 80% during the regular season. That was unlike anything we’ve seen athletically since the second half of last year pre playoffs. I can’t imagine he had 3 lobs in a single game once this year before tonight.

    A Time to Worry: Celtics Postseason Concerns

    Remember this time last year when the C’s were absolutely waxing *everybody* no matter the opponent by 20 points nightly? Half their games were over in the first quarter. Then Rob got hurt and they still made the finals but they never looked like magic again. They look better than the finals run...

    Robert Williams, Season 5: Warping the Space-Time Continuum

    I’ve been concerned about this for a while (see my post up thread in January). He doesn’t look like a super freakish athlete for the nba anymore. He just looks slightly freakish. I can’t tell for sure if his activity is down or his capability is down but I suspect it’s capability. He was unable...

    Cavalry Candidates

    At 35 or whatever I’m not sure that’s true. He’s a lower volume scorer and rebounder (per 36). Still puts up defensive counting stats though. Also seems like he doesn’t agree with you since he went Cavs.

    Cavalry Candidates

    Am I wrong in thinking Green probably isn’t going to steal Hauser’s minutes and should therefore sign with Cavs where he actually could beat out guys like Okoro and Wade?

    Robert Williams, Season 5: Warping the Space-Time Continuum

    I don’t come around here much lately but I was expecting to see a discussion of Time Lord as a defensive player this year. I for the first time looked up some stats to see if they confirmed what my eyes have been telling me. I’ll start with the stats so you can see if they surprise you before I...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Tatum is the most efficient scoring wing in the nba…from the post. While it makes some sense because he’s got that great footwork, it is not something I would have guessed since he also takes a lot of low efficiency fade aways. View...

    Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals

    I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a player play as consistently outside the rules in any sport ever as Draymond in this series. It’s honestly a surprise when he does something that isn’t a foul or illegal. Every screen is moving. Every rebound involves jersey pulling. Every inbounds is tackle...

    Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals

    I really didn't think the two big lineups were working at all. Some of it was Rob was just in too much of a drop. He was better the 4th Q when he was out there. But I think it's real possible the 2 big lineup just isn't going to work. I'm on board with some first half rests to keep guys fresh...

    What is this team missing?

    A ring. I just want to pause and soak it in for a moment. The 2018 run was so enjoyable. Things seemed so inevitable. And we all know what happened since then. It's been exciting being a Celtics fan since then, but it hasn't always been very enjoyable. But the young players are just so talented...

    Payton Pritchard: Season Savior

    Agreed. And they also get very good at taking charges.

    Grant “Corner Office” Williams

    I dunno about this. He’s somewhat a specialized player. Not a true 4. There’s a reason nobody is writing his name in ink as the Al replacement. And I bet most competitive teams in the league view him that way: as one of the top rotation players in the league but not an every game starter. I...

    If anything the Simmons stuff is head games while the Time Lord stuff is real.

    Celtics vs. Nets, Round 1 Discussion

    I was pretty concerned at halftime. The Nets were doing a great job switching and putting pressure on the Celtics, and the Jays in particular, defensively. They looked really out of sorts. They were pressing and missing shots and making bad decisions. They didn’t play great offensively in game...

    Celtics vs. Nets, Round 1 Discussion

    All the takes on Tatum being gassed and the call backs to the bubble Tor/Mia series are correct. This is why I didn’t want the Celtics to get the Nets in round 1 (not that they really had a choice). If this goes 7 and takes everything they have then they might not have enough for Milwaukee in...

    Lord have mercy! playoff rotations/mpg

    It wasn’t just foul trouble. Theis was ineffective and they had to bench him for white down the stretch. Grant also wasn’t great so in that situation Al is going to play a ton of minutes. With games 1-2-3 so spread out it should be fine for games 1 & 2. But after game 3 they play every other so...

    Celtics vs. Nets, Round 1 Discussion

    I do think Rob Williams adds a couple of points of margin per game if he returns this series.
