Now Blakely is saying Time Lord.   ;D

We just need Tommy to use the nickname and it's here to stay.

Please explain to me this new idiotic "TimeLord" nickname for Williams ?

It’s the lamest nickname in the history of NBA basketball. Time lord is the type of alien “Doctor Who” is.  It’s a long running BBC sci fi show that’s been going since the 1960s.  It’s for children.  He travels through space and time.  They look like this: 



Robert missed his first press call because he got confused by a central time zone - so some folks jokingly started calling him Time Lord because time lords perceive time differently in the show.  Most people calling him time lord don’t realize how dorky it is and that it was a nickname created to make fun of Robert being an idiot.

but it sounds cool
only if you’re one of the millions of people not familiar with Doctor Who.  It’s super nerdy.  It’s like calling him Klingon.

So only nerds find it nerdy.  I can live with that.
There’s millions of Doctor Who fans.  Most of them would just find it strange that you are comparing Robert Williams to Jodi Whittaker. 

The guys on twitter who came up with the nickname created it to make fun of Robert.  It’s a nickname teasing him about his inability to keep track of time.  Hence comparing him to a space alien in a sci fi show.  It’s a running joke and the fact that the media is running with it without realizing what it is just makes the troll funnier.

You are taking this, perhaps, too literally.

It should make the Bulls feel a little better, our 2nd and 3rd string handily beat the Pelicans, so getting demolished by our 1st stringers don't seem so bad anymore

Please explain to me this new idiotic "TimeLord" nickname for Williams ?

It’s the lamest nickname in the history of NBA basketball. Time lord is the type of alien “Doctor Who” is.  It’s a long running BBC sci fi show that’s been going since the 1960s.  It’s for children.  He travels through space and time.  They look like this: 



Robert missed his first press call because he got confused by a central time zone - so some folks jokingly started calling him Time Lord because time lords perceive time differently in the show.  Most people calling him time lord don’t realize how dorky it is and that it was a nickname created to make fun of Robert being an idiot.

Big Baby sounds stupid, had it's genesis in less than flattering circumstances, yet remains a killer nickname.

TimeLord is great. Full stop.

Also portends his ability to go forward in time and anticipate where a shot is blockable. He is going to block A LOT of shots in the NBA

More like Worf, or Kahless the Unforgettable (legendary Klingon hero)!

I'll take my nerdy Trekkie arse and sit down now.  ;D
no... worf and kahless are specific characters.  Time lord refers to all the old white stuffy British aliens from the planet gallifrey.  They look like this:



Not all aliens from gallifrey are called time lords.  It’s a special council that control time and space. 

If anything, it’s like calling an NBA player “Jedi”, but significantly more nerdy.

Williams getting meaningful minutes and contributing
Ojeleye playing with confidence
Brown aggressive again... with some warts
Tatum looking like a star for stretches
Morris playing like a leader
And a win

Great experience for a lot of guys
Great win

Not really.  It was a nickname created by someone specifically to make fun of Robert. 

I’d find it equally silly if they had started calling him “White Rabbit” and then the media ran with it not realizing it was an Alice In Wonderland reference making fun of Robert always being late.
