  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
Right now Sean Williams is a punk who can't get it together. Or, he was yesterday. Tonight he's a Celtic, and guess what?

Being a Celtic is awesome. Get it together Sean! You won't regret it! Ask Gerald!

Wow. He was in as good a shape as I am.

But yeah. Talented. Imagine if him and Stiemsma pan out. Block party in Boston :D

The second video puts the first one into a better context. Atleast, now I know he was playing hard and giving his all before it happened. Definitely, have to worry about his conditioning though. Williams problem has always been maturity, not a lack of talent. If almost getting booted from the league does for him what it seems to have done for Gerald Green he could be a steal. Definitely, low risk high reward. With the way this season has been going why not?

Hopefully KG and Doc can tweak this guy, really love his athleticism and hustle during his first 2 years in the league.

  • ANYTHING is posssiiibbbbllee
Coming out of college this guy had the talent to be the best shot blocker in the NBA.

Problem is he is lazy, he likes to smoke too much weed, he is immature and he won't put any work in.

Not expecting much.

Indeed he will. He was released before the post season eligibility deadline on March 23rd.

The way I like to look at it is: he HAS been lazy in the past, he  HAS liked his weed too much in the past, and he HAS been immature.

The weed part, I realy don't care about so much. The lazy part can be worked on. KG will say: "You work or you begone and you stay gone".

The maturity part will come . He's still only 25. His lot isn't completelt cast in life.

Let's give the guy a chance.

On the story on the front page's comments, someone compares him to Chris Herren and Vin Baker. A full fledged alcoholic and an inveterate drug addict don't seem to be what this kid is. He's a pothead. Big difference.

LOL Vin Baker and Chris Herren.. a little off topic, but anyone see that ESPN documentary on Chris Herren? FALL RIVAAAASSS OWN...

and I agree with this guy.. he's just a young pothead living the crazy life and having fun.. It's just a phase... unless the dude is shootin' dope or a raging alcoholic, I see no problem with this signing.. We needed big man depth.. He's pretty good too.. Definitely better than Ryan Hollins IMO..

And if theres an organization that can whip bad asses into shape, its the Celtics... We're the Patriots of basketball in that sense

My buddy from college was a door man in his building as a summer job during school.  Said Sean was a mess when he was with the Nets.  Hopefully he has matured
