I wouldn't exactly say he dominated. He looked pretty good and made an outside shot and a dunk but dominated?  Is he playing tonight or are they holding him out because of a knee bump? A knee bump would not keep Baynes out of a game so let's man up and be tough.

The most worrisome aspect of Willams debut was that he was totally gassed after about four minutes. He worked hard, but was clearly spent even before he was taken out of the game. He showed good athleticism but is clearly way out of shape. This only reenforces the concerns about his motivation, etc.. He's got a long way to go, and will be susceptible to injury while he gets in game-shape. Hopefully he can stay on the court because he surely needs the minutes.

Oh, summer league ... I can't get excited about it at all.

I look for moments in Summer League and hopefully some consistency with them more than stats.  Of course he hardly had time out there, but the face up jump shot and the dunk he had around the rim were encouraging plays.  Both are things that he could also do effectively in the NBA.

Ah, Celtic fans, always so supportive.

It's when we stop being sarcastic that you need to be worried. All of this comes from having pretty high expectations for him.

If people start acting like him missing a practice is no big deal or par for the course, THEN it's an issue

I thought it came from drunken posting.

TP  Drunken posting....now that explains a lot. May try it myself.

With the new marijuana dispensaries opening up. Next step will likely be posting while high. Oh Boy!!!

The posts will get a little longer but probably still be pretty clear.  8)

His knee was hurt, he hurt it on the super rebound and stayed in until the end of the quarter.  You don't think that played a role?   Maybe, you're unaware of that fact?

Admittedly, this is probably my fault, but, like, can we please stop with all of this, at least until he does something else to warrant additional ire? Yeesh ::).

I agree. Some Celtics fans suck. Most are good and want the team to do well. Others are miserable and enjoy talking smack about a 20 year old.

TP to you both.

Williams is impressed with Baynes...

Tom Westerhol@Tom_NBA
Robert Williams says he got some work in with Aron Baynes back in Boston: “I didn’t know a guy’s hand could be so strong. Just one hand."

I had a bad case of tendinitis in my knees in college - they are the two chords running down the back of your knee, easy to locate. My case was due to naturally very high arches combined with daily practice and a shoe that did not have enough arch support - not unusual in those days. I switched to Adidas and the tendinitis cleared right up.

Well played, sir!
'I was proud of Marcus Smart. He did a great job of keeping us together. He might not get credit for this game, but the pace that he played at, and his playcalling, some of the plays that he called were great. We obviously have to rely on him, so I’m definitely looking forward to Marcus leading this team in that role.' - Jaylen Brown, January 2021
