Cavs (9-39) at Celtics (29-18) Game #48 1/23/19

That was a terrible lob pass by Smart

Nah, it looked like a bad pass because Williams didn't roll as hard as he was supposed to.

Williams has ability, but he doesn't know how to play yet.  I think he'll get there though... by all accounts he has displayed a great work ethic with the team.

People on here act so excited to trade Rozier. I get it he's not perfect but when Kyrie and/or Smart are down and Rozier is giving you performances like these in their absence, that's valuable for a team competing for a championship. And lets face it, NO ONE is dealing a first rounder or some star for him at the deadline.

I don't think anyone is expecting a star.  He just doesn't fit in when coming off the bench.  If Kyrie gets hurt and misses the playoffs, we're not winning the East anyway.

But they almost won the East last year with no Hayward and no Kyrie....

[Chief]

I'd like to watch one of those Nba VR games.

[Neurotic Guy]

I really like Williams' demeanor on the court.  Pretty stoic even when he makes a mistake or gets beat.  Does a lot of things reasonably well (some things really well) for a very young rookie big. Don't see evidence of the immaturity we heard about. Seems to get along with teammates and seems like a learner.

Time Lord is fun to watch even when he's screwing up.

[liam]

Will any more defense be played in this game?

we have been starved for years for somebody like this .....i agree

Yeah, but Toronto, Philly, and Milwaukee are all better.

Jaylen in the post is something we don't use enough

[SCeltic34]

That was not a good quarter.

Yeah, or Smart, Morris, Tatum, Hayward, Horford or even Kyrie.

They have got to play another quarter of defense...

[Neurotic Guy]

Indy up 6 v. Toronto -- about 5 minutes to go.

that will never last 5 minutes ...maybe 60 seconds

agreed - we have a number of players that are good at scoring in the post that we don't use enough -- particularly when we're having a night of bricking 3's
