Ime Udoka said Rob Williams is fine after Marcus Smart landed on his leg. Said that Williams stayed down to make sure he was ok before eventually getting up and continuing to play. – 12:40 PM

Ime Udoka said when Robert Williams went down in Game 2 and stayed down for a minute, it was more out of caution than anything. He said Williams came out of Game 2 OK physically. – 12:37 PM

For Game 3: feels like Ime Udoka has to have a very short leash with Rob Williams.
The spacing has to be better. Way too often they made the Warriors defend only half of the court.
And a bunch of guys need to be better, which is easier said than done.
But 1-1 is still good. – 10:43 PM

Robert Williams just walked to the bench gingerly after that foul on Wigging. Definitely something to watch – 9:44 PM

Took Robert Williams some time to get up after that last fall. He’s not moving really well and now he fouls Wiggins. Warriors on a 12-4 run to start the 3rd – 9:44 PM

Good timeout by Ime Udoka.
Another shit start to the third quarter.
Gotta considering pulling Rob Williams. He doesn’t want to land on his left leg. And no idea what in the world he did on that play where Brown turned it over. Rob walked it right into a double-team on Brown. – 9:38 PM

Not sure what Robert Williams was doing there. He basically just set Jaylen Brown up for a sideline double team. – 9:37 PM

Rob Williams is not running well to start the quarter. Steph blew by him out top just now. C’s gotta try to keep him out of the main action so he can help. – 9:34 PM

Celtics close with Al Horford attempting zero shots and Robert Williams/Grant Williams only attempting one each.
Smart, Horford, White combined for 15 3s in Game 1, only have 2 in Game 2 so far, both by White – 9:25 PM

Boston wants you to post Pritchard or drive at Rob Williams. The Warriors’ best chance is to spread that line of scrimmage even further out. If I’m Steph, I’m hunting a 30 footer over the next few minutes. Maybe that psychological boost will draw Boston out – 8:57 PM

Jordan Poole now 3-of-12 shooting with five turnovers in the opening portion of this series. Celtics getting into him on the perimeter and bothering him at the rim. Rob Williams, White and Theis have blocked his shot. He’s scattered. – 8:55 PM

Ime Udoka on Rob Williams: “The days off have been beneficial. Part of it is keeping him minutes in that 20-25 range. The low minutes, the days off, it’s got him feeling better and he’s got a little pep in his step.” – 6:48 PM
