Two games in a row Robert Williams has jumped passing lanes for steals
.He keeps putting his body into box outs.
He gets his hands on rebounds he shouldn't tipping then or batting them deep into backcourt.
It is so easy to forget nobody else would even reach them.but it adds an almost pinball effect of instant chaos.The exuberance and hustle often leaves him out of position or having a bad angles on the driving guards.
His ability to overreach can be seen with what looks like a poor decision pass. Play and learn.
He has built a reputation that has altered shots. stopped  penetration before it even starts And those come from behind blocks in the paint have opposing players heads on swivel and on breakaways it  forces misses.
You can see his passing vision and his desire to be more than a rim runner
He seems to stay down more and not get baited into the air leading to a foul or blow by.
With Williams, Brown,Tatum,Marcus ,Nesmith and Romeo-that gives us great length for our defense.

Sideshow Bob is improving week by week, IMO. He's a unique guy who is really starting to effect the game.

And frankly, he's the most interesting & fun guy to watch out there.....

Mike used the word "graceful" on the broadcast this weekend to describe Rob.  Very apt.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

I think players coming in so young has led to rashes of injuries, as they push their bodies against grown men.Romeo has been sidelined but has probably working out with trainers and coaches..It is my opinion that he was a a steal after still leading his college team hurt-.He has a better handle than Nesmith seems to have more leaping ability and a longer wingspan..
Jerry Stackhouse calls Nesmith a steal and it seems that along with Rob Williams and Pritchard the Celts have had 4 good draft picks in the system Add Grant who can shoot now and Semi playing well..We got home grown hard working group of young players.
And who knows how the Israeli kid could get.

Time Lord is why we shouldn’t make any big acquisitions of salary this year. We need room to extend him. Our third star could already be on the team.

It takes most Centers 3-4 years to figure out the pros and I see a bright future for him with his athleticism. If he develops an outside shot and passing game watch out.

If he is the future he needs to start now, there isn't anyone anointing us as contenders this year. Throw the kid in the fire, lets see what he gives us.

Rollie loves him some Timelord. I couldn’t agree more.
Quoting Nick from the now locked Ime thread:

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Anderson Varejao is 38. How is he still improving?  ;)

That's funny, forgot that was his nickname. I dunno when / where I started saying this, but it's a good addition to Time Lord.

Robert Williams is my favorite player in the NBA.

He's untouchable to me. I'd literally rather trade Tatum than Bob, simply due to the joie de voir the dude play.

Keep it up TL!
