Did anyone notice how the Knicks played differently with T-Will on the floor? Besides the two knuckle headed and unnecessary 3 pointers taken, T-Will had a pretty productive 17 minutes with 4 rebounds, 4 pts, and 2 assists. He may not have had a mind blowing stat line, but what he contributed on defense, and forcing turnovers with good ball movement is phenomenal.

Give him more minutes, and let Avery Bradley guard JR Smith, or put Courtney Lee in.

Other wise, I'm very proud to be a Celtics fan. The team really pulled through tonight under extreme adversity. I hope to see it get taken to game 7.

I've been saying this since he got here. Got nothing for love for TWILL.

Nah no need to over react. You keep the same starters and rotate in T-Will along with Terry like he did tonight.

If T-Will is getting it done and Bradley isn't you can always ride him from there.

I have the feeling that is what Doc will do.  We need AB to get his mojo back a bit and just go back to being a major pest on D.  Take the ball handling chores away from him, and let him run off cuts / screens and concentrate on D.

I'd stop short of starting him, if only because I want him to stay calm and keep playing his game.  Don't want him trying to do too much. 

But I do think he has solidified a spot in the rotation now.  He deserves to get minutes in this series.  His defensive versatility and ability to make plays are both very important for us.

That is the smart move, Bradley still more reliable and you'd shatter his confidence otherwise. But we were far better with Williams in the game. His ball handling was the difference in long spurts... he was playing crunch-time minutes, too... and I almost wanted to see him in at the end of the game for the same reason. At that point, there was just no one else to bench. Man, we came throughhhh tonight!

Start T-Will so he can set up a cool and calm game. Emphasize on defense, while double teaming, but getting the 3pt line covered. Let Williams start first, so he can make good plays, and either let Bradley guard JR, or let Courtney in. Give Bradley and T-Will 20 minutes a piece, so if someone messes up more, the other PG can quickly swap in.

Terrence Williams was definitely better in terms of good heady plays, and forcing some bad shots.

No. Just bring him in like they did today.

He needs to shoot a thousand jump shots, bc that is what is holding him back from being a pretty darn good player in the nba.

But even without a jumper, he was very effective today. Very good defense, made good passes, and i like how aggressive he was on offense. He should of dunked on that one possession driving in instead of passing it to PP for the three (then turnover bc of an offensive foul).

I think T Will , will fit in well like some have predicted. Like a Jeff Green , way too passive at times and just needs to play with more agression.

Very much agree

Love T Will, but I like him coming off of the bench. Him pushing the tempo really throws the Knicks off. He hustles for rebounds, creates shots for others, and can finish at the rim.  Definitely should get as many minutes (at least) as he did tonight going forward, but off of the bench.

Been calling for this bc he's the only one capable of handling the ball and working the fast break, playing quality D etc.

The starting 5 has NO ball handler. It's an abomination! I can't watch it. C Lee is better than Avery or Paul with the ball.

T-Will baby.
