This is better lol.

Feels like missing so little practice time must have meant very little time for him to fall out of game shape, which I guess means less recovery time. Very cool.

Yeah I mean you know what I’ve heard since the surgery, but everyone thought building the stamina back up would take a little more time.

Excitement max level.

I want Rob to get some ramp up before the Bucks series so if he is good then put him in.

Just when Brooklyn heads home and thinks it might get easier for them....We insert Wiliams back into the lineup.

The Nets couldn’t contain their excitement about getting the Celtics in the first round because they wouldn’t have to face Rob. Now they are down 0-2 and have to face him. Somebody get Bruce Brown a diaper.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Wow excellent news! Rob gives us something that really can’t be properly replicated by anyone else on the roster. As long as he’s close to 100% this should be very bad news for the rest of the league and very good news for our defense especially.

Rob returning means it's game over for the Nets.

The defense becomes way better and the lob threat makes it easier on offense for the Celts.

If Rob starts and plays 5-6 minutes before calling it a night, the Celtics likely get off to a great start relative to games 2-3. Given the way the Nets have faded at the end of games, this gives us a solid chance to go up 3-0. I am expecting the best the Nets have to offer. I can’t imagine we don’t see a better Durant.

Why would we only play him for 5-6 minutes? :lol:

The fact that they expect him to play his normal minutes by Monday tells us everything we need to know about how Rob is doing physically. I’d bet he gets 18-22 minutes tomorrow, but obviously depends on how he’s feeling.
