Wouldn't it make sense for NBC Sports Boston to carry the Red Claws games.  If not live, then during the next day instead of all that garbage they have on.  Then people could DVR it.

Edit:  apparently, they do

His first G League game is tonight. Where can I see it on tv?

It'll be televised on NBATV

Awesome. TP.

Hmm I don’t see it on the NBATV channel tonight?

Yeah, I don't see it either, but I heard it was from I believe Locked on Celtics. It is scheduled to be televised tomorrow at 4pm on NBC Sports Boston.

You answered my question just before I asked it.  TP

he needs to be playing on the Celtics..the way teams are easily driving to the rim with easy layups is awful

The Celtics sending rookies to Portland has always been a sign that Stevens doesn't feel he is good enough to get into a game except for garbage time and so send them to the G League to hone their skills.

I think a lot of people are going to have to start to accept that Williams isn't ready for minutes and most likely won't be this year.

Of course he isn't ready today or he'd be playing.  But I don't think it's necessarily a sign that he won't be ready this year.  Williams didn't look anywhere near as lost as we've seen other rookies look.

It's hard to couple this with the fact that Williams has looked promising when he has been in the game this year. I mean he looks the part of a freakish shot blocker already.

Yet I agree with you. He is raw and We/I need to accept it. He basically only brings athleticism/and passing to the table. I bet he will do well in the G league if he attacks it.

Anything he provides this year is gravy.

Interesting note: the announcer said that Williams was on a 25 minute restriction tonight. This was not likely to be an issue for the Cs this year, but it is for the g-league team.

It may be connected to the syndrome about his legs. It also could be connected to his general stamina. Either way, I found it interesting.

I know it's G-League, but the defence and passing is still great to see. Getting dunks and layups inside is fun, especially offensive boards, but seeing his BBIQ on display is the most exciting thing to me

He is not an offensive juggernaut, but we don't need him to be one.
