Robert Williams is playing pretty well, and even though there’s an adjustment period, he needs to start playing more. He seems to be on a minutes limit, even though he officially seems to be off any restrictions (but Joe Mazzulla loves semantics, so who knows). Either way, Jayson Tatum says he wants to play with Rob more, so John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal and Tom Westerholm believe Rob will end up starting soon enough. Plus, a real conversation about adjusting our expectations about the Celtics when it comes to them facing bad teams.

I can't get enough Rob. I can't remember if it was John or Tom that said it before, but when Rob's out there, the other guys play with more energy.
I think Rob will start soon, just not yet. They are ramping out his minutes. Technically he is not on a restriction but they are just amping his minutes gradually instead of instantly giving him like 8 more minutes a game. It makes adjustment on his body and the team itself easier. eventually he will get those minutes and when he does, he will have to start. It will come at the expense of Al as they will be looking to preserve him, Luke, and Grant.
Keep Killin it John and Tom #underscoreboys
The Spurs game is where Rob looked the strongest and healthiest thus far this season. Great physicality.
Here’s the issue though. Rob very likely can’t play more than 22-25 mpg if he’s going to make it through 60-70 games.
After watching his entire career idk why anyone has confidence Rob can stay healthy for an entire season and playoff run playing a typical starter’s workload.
joe, please:
– start doing in-game REAL adjustments
– call regular timeouts
– START ROB 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
and we'll be fine
