Robert Williams, aka "Timelord"

So you’re saying that you think the Celtics would have lost 4 of the next 5 if they didn’t have Rob? Also, he comes back and you expect them to lose 2 of the next 4?

ESPN 50 for 50:

The return of the Timelord in game three of the first round series against the Nets was the last piece in the puzzle that started what would become a remarkable playoff run.........

In accordance with the prophecy

This is great news.

Now that Rob is officially back, Celtics in 6!

Just go back to my posts in Game 1.

I said if Rob TOTALLY does not play in this series, it's Nets in 6.

If Rob plays in this series then it's Celtics in 6.

Right now the Celts just did what they're supposed to do by protecting HCA.

It's really possible that the Celts could end up losing the series even if they're up 2-0.

Just like the Phoenix Suns lost in the finals when they were up 2-0.

Think about it, if Tatum didn't make that buzzer beater in Game 1, Celts would've lost and this series would be tied 1-1.

I stand by my belief that the Celts would lose to the Nets if they didn't have Rob the entire series.

But right now it's moot because Rob has returned and I strongly believe the Celts will not lose to the Nets if Rob is healthy.

So if Rob wasn’t coming back, you think this team would lose the next 4 games?

That’s a slap in the face.

It's possible.

Like I said, if Tatum didn't make that buzzer beater then the series would've been tied 1-1.

If Rob does not return and the Nets tie the series at 2-2 then Celts would've lost all their momentum.
So Celts end up losing 4 straight is really possible.

But right now it's looking like the Celts will return to Boston 3-1 or the Celts end up sweeping the Nets because Rob is back.

The Nets have no answer for Robert Williams.

What a bizarre lack of confidence in the team, even without Rob. That’s just a 1st team all nba guy, an all star, the DPOY, and a 27 year old Al Horford.

The Lakers have 4 future Hall of Famers and they didn't even make the playoffs.

It's about team.

Rob Williams is a big part of why the Celts were great this season.

Remove Rob and the dynamics of the team changes.

On offense, Rob gives you that lob threat that opens up more shots for the Celtic shooters from the outside.

And we all know how great a defensive player Rob is.

The Celts are more of a traditional NBA team without Rob.

Rob is a game changer.

The Lakers are a horrid comparison lol. The difference is we saw the team be dominant without Rob, just a bit less dominant than with him. He’s obviously an excellent player, but it’s factually accurate that they have been awesome without him.

This was/is just you not giving the team enough credit. It’s okay, just acknowledge it.

I think the reason why you underestimate the Nets so much is because you don't like the Nets and Kyrie.

Only Celtic fans think the Celts will 100% beat the Nets without Robert Williams.

If you listen to NBA analysts, most of them also think the Nets will beat the Celts without Robert Williams.

The Lakers are also not a horrid comparison because your argument is the Celts have a 1st team All-NBA guy, a DPOY, and an All-Star.

You're referring to individual achievements.

If it's about individual achievements then the Lakers should be contenders this season.

Another example is you really think the Golden State Warriors would've won 3 championships if they didn't have Draymond Green?

I just don't think the Celts can beat Philly, Brooklyn, and Milwaukee if Rob is not available.

Or just admit you were wrong, and it was a bad take to have Nets in 6. It’s ok, honestly, we’ve all been wrong. Instead of saying that you’re more willing to say the Nets could win 4 in a row, and then wondering why people point out your wrong takes and let others go without mention. It’s because they admit when they were wrong and don’t double down instead.

If not, then in 4.
