For me, I think if we had a healthy Timelord, we'd be dominating right now, just like we did during the last stretch of the regular season.  I think the guy is a huge weapon on both ends that would be hurting Golden State inside.  I've said all post-season, I don't think we can be beat with a healthy Timelord.

Am I exaggerating?  Is a healthy Timelord the difference between a potential Celtics loss in six, versus a win in five?  He was 10/10/2 in the regular season, and he's at 8/6/1 in the playoffs.  Do the two points and four rebounds mean *that* much?  Is this one of those "his impact goes beyond the box score" scenarios?  (Hint:  yes.)

It's a little depressing that after being up 2-1, we've dropped two games where Timelord was +6 and +11.

Turnovers were the reason we lost the game. We had like 15+ when we lost. Along with missed free-throws, esp last night's atrocity. We could've still won with him at 8/6/1

When he first got injured I thought we were done because he’s that important.

I’m surprised we made the finals with him on 1 leg but I tend to agree, this series would be over if he was actually healthy

Yesterday felt strange watching the game.  Timelord seemed to be in position to challenge a number of shots that he did not even jump to contest.  I am not sure if that was due to his injury, nerves or just an off day.  Although he was okay in the +/- category, I felt he had opportunities to impact the game more on the defensive end.

In the Finals he is 7 p, 7.6 r, 1.4 a, 1.0 s, and 2.4 b in 25.2 mpg.  So steals and blocks are up (especially accounting for lesser minutes) while his other 3 are down some, though he is shooting better. 

I think it is more about him not being a great fit against the Warriors.  They are mostly a jump shooting team and they are great defensively so that limits someone like Rob a lot.  I'm sure the knee has had some affect, but the reality is Rob is mostly an unskilled player that doesn't play well when the conditions aren't conducive to the things he does well and the Warriors are just a bad fit.  It is why before the series started I was on here saying I didn't think Rob would have much of an impact.  He just isn't the right type of player to have success against the Warriors.  Styles make matchups.

Ehhh it's the careless turnovers that's killing the Celtics. Williams is fine it's just that he's not the greatest fit depending on the Warriors' lineup.

A lot.  We are a different team with a healthy Rob.

REDDIT podcast guy (Spoony) said our plus/minus with Rob this series is very high, with Al is very negative.   We need to find more minutes for Rob, don't know if his body can take it.  Fewer for Al.  When they play together, plus/minus is only slightly plus.
