resilient part 2 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Exactly what I have been saying is exactly what I'm seeing and now I'm also hearing Greg Anthony, Kevin McHale, Isaiah Thomas have all said less is more. If everyone gets healthy it will be a problem for the Celtics, how does Boston move forward with this dilemma?

resilient part 2 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Finally got to see R Williams get reasonable minutes. 23 min, 3 for 5, 11 rebounds (4 offensive) 4 blocks (2 amazing ones on AD) and quite a few alterations on shot attempts. what doesn't show up in his stats was most times he rolled to the rim, a defender went with him (respecting his lob ability) and someone was wide open for it. Stevens really needs to play him regularly. He can be an elite shot-blocker at minimum. Edited December 11, 2018 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Man Robert Williams is a beast. As a life long Aggie fan, I was thrilled to see him go to the Celtics because I knew they could develop him. I think his ceiling is probably about what Clint Capela has become on possibly a better rim protector, but thats a pretty good ceiling for a late 1st round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) After just a few games of playing and a small sample size, It has become clear that R Williams, rookie or not, raw or not, should be playing over Theis (my 2nd choice) and Baynes. R Williams is a freak on defense both inside and out. He is so quick off his feet, moves well on PNR. Rebounds well, finishes well and has a "surprising good feel about basketball" - Brad Stevens. It's really a shame that it took so many injuries for RW to finally get his chance. Edited December 14, 2018 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw athletic freak without a lot of polish. He moves to ME so he can nab more minutes and its the smart thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison to JB is not quite the same. Yes both athletic freaks, but JB plays a wing position which relies heavily on skills and decision making. RW, as a big just needs to block/alter shots and finish with his amazing hops around the rim and he will make an instant impact. He literally blocked a jump hook and a turnaround jumper on AD. Imagine what he can do with some NON NBA superstars. I believe players like RW who, while Raw, progress much faster with actually game experience. I believed that with my own experience but also learned that from one of the best coaches in BB. That is J Wright (Villanova) Edited December 14, 2018 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 So Boston had all of their wing players back yesterday for the first time since their 8 game winning streak started. All to below 500% teams BTW. Back to no one in rhythm. Depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Not much Boston discussion here, but I thought it was funny that Kyrie had demanded a "closed door meeting" about the Celtics playing selfishly... of all the players... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 OK I just want to bump up this thread that no one reads just to say BOSTON STILL SUCKS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 A while back I suggested that Boston should trade Rozier, for one, I believe someone will offer Rozier a RFA more money than Boston may want to match, but even more so, Boston needed to lighten its load on ball needy players. Fast forward to now. Boston not only is still struggling, but the "young guys" which definitely includes Rozier, may end up pushing out Kyrie next year. Kyrie at one time has said he "will re-sign" with Boston. But if Boston continues to struggle, why would he? A unhappy Kyrie will definitely look for greener pastures. I know Ainge is holding on to his assets, like Brown and Rozier, In hopes that he can use that in a trade for Anthony Davis. It is a huge gamble that may eventually pay off..... OR …. bite Boston back big time. It may lay waste to this season all while forcing Boston to lose out on its most prized player, Kyrie, if the Pels don't trade A Davis.

resilient part 2 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Celtics WORST case scenario this offseason is Kyrie bolts to NY and AD isn't traded to Boston. They will still have a very young talented Core and lots of 1st rders to improve. I personally believe how the playoffs turn out for Boston will have a huge impact for Kyrie. I also strongly believe that KI to NY would be the type of move KI would do. NY hasn't won a chip since what 1973? Kyrie would probably love the challenge to do a Lebron and win one for NY, his home town basically. Ironically Ainge held on to ALL HIS ASSETS to hold out for a AD trade, and yet all those assets,, particular Brown and Rozier, have frustrated KI to the point he may end up leaving. I wonder if Boston has a backup plan for a worst case scenario. Edited February 2, 2019 by resilient part 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrie will stay because we’re getting rid of all the guys frustrating him for AD. AD is the perfect Star next to Kyrie because he’s a total beta and will let it be Kyries team still.
