Robinson played only 11 minutes tonight. I think they're trying to play him into game shape, because he probably shouldn't be playing in back-to-backs.

I know people are disappointed with him thus far. Maybe my expectations were too low, but I'm not really expecting much from him besides defending talented offensive big men like Embiid and Wemby.

Mitchell Robinson is playing 1 less minute per game this season than he did last year and is averaging 3 less rebounds. That is not good.

Yeah, no doubt. I saw some folks note that the Celtics' offense asks Robinson to be further away from the rim compared to his time with the Knicks. So maybe that plays a small role in the discrepancy?

I'm hopeful by the end of the year he'll look more comfortable and fluid.

Was just looking at the schedule.  Brutal stretch the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Back to back against Sacramento and Golden State on Saturday and Sunday.  Then fly across the country for a Tuesday night game in Washington.

Not the competition obviously but a back to back on the west coast followed by a road game on the east coast.
