Timelord (Woj: To play limited minutes in Game 3)

[blink]

this is great news!  I am ok if Timelord only plays 15 min each game this series.
at least that spells Theis a bit in case of foul trouble.  Theis has been playing pretty well too.

TIMELORD!!!!

The Nets weren't a threat in the paint in the first 2 games. Not even in PnR action which is weird cause they have decent rollers in Claxton and Drummond.

Points in the paint

Game 1
Celtics 56
Nets 32

Game 2
Celtics 44
Nets 34


If our bigs are mostly asked to play D on the perimeter, it seems like there's no need to rush Timelord back. I mean, Theis may be a better perimeter defender than Timelord. Obviously, the Nets may change their strategy in game 3. They have plenty of time to make adjustments.

Glad that he’s coming back, just hope it’s not too soon. Hasn’t even been a month since the surgery.

Start him, but play him for less shifts during the game. Come out hard.

[slamtheking]

good news but hoping they aren't rushing him back.  want him fully recovered so he doesn't reinjure himself

[Silas]

Play Rob when Drummond sits.  He doesn't need to be banging with the big guy on his first game back.

This is a family website!

Have him come off the bench for 7 minutes a half...no reason to start him. Slowly bring him along and he'll be ready to start IF we get to the 2nd round.

[SparzWizard]

Nice to see him back. They'll probably try to have guys attack Timelord when he's in.

I think the Nets just crapped their pants. They must have been hoping to steal games 3&4 before Rob got back.

Funny, you got me.

[wiley]

I'd wait til game 4...
but it's next game...very few minutes..

in any case welcome back Rob!! 

[hpantazo]

Having him off the bench for short stretches in the next 2 games will be huge for us. It should prevent that big drop-off we've been having when Horford sits.

I also love the timing of this announcement by the Celtics. It really messes with the Nets gameplan preparation.
