A list of puns related to "William Brown (sailor)"
I think this really captures how bad the Celtics are suffering from injuries at the moment. Their 1 loss with this starting 5 was the game that Williams fouled out against Philadelphia, where he only played 14 minutes.
If you want to extend this to every game theyβve played in together when Theis was the starter, itβs 15 games total, and in the majority of those Rob Williams was not playing the majority of minutes at the center position. Two of them were Kemba coming back from surgery where he was not playing 100%, and two were with Smart coming off the bench where he was coming back from his injury.
You could make the case that the only bad loss when all 5 of these guys play and are healthy was the Sacramento game in Boston. Otherwise their only losses are to Philadelphia and Milwaukee, two of the top teams in the league.
In the 15 games theyβve all played, they only allow 108.1 PPG and have a net rating of +5.1. When healthy, I do believe theyβre still one of the best teams in the league. Fournier being the 6th man is not only necessary for bench scoring, but their bench is extremely thin and canβt afford their starters to be missing time, since beyond him and Thompson, they are relying on rookies and guys who should not see significant minutes.
When fully healthy, and in the playoffs where rotations shorten to 8-9 guys, they can hide their depth problem like theyβve been unable to do in the regular season.
Hoping they donβt rush Brown back and screw themselves over in the playoffs even if that means having to get in through the play-in.
Who says no?
The narrative that Ainge canβt draft that a lot of ignorant fools spew is ridiculous and how he prefers βundersized guardsβ among other things. Those 5 picks above are a strong playoff rotation. While Rob fell to us at 27 plus Smart was BPA every other pick at the time was either graded as a big reach (Rozier) or a slight reach (Brown/Tatum). Sadly Terry is no longer here but he is blossoming in Charlotte. Ainge has some flaws but the draft isnβt one.
Stop rushing to judge young lotto prospects like Nesmith and Romeo until we give them time to develop too. Iβm fine including them in the right package of course but letβs not claim either is a bust or anything yet.
