Robert Williams made his Celtics season debut on Friday night and looked pretty good against Orlando (minus some early rust and jitters). Too bad the rest of the Celtics didn’t look quite as good. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal was not surprised by gross game, but is very happy with how Rob looked in 17 minutes.

There are 2 sides to this loss
1. And I quote Scal.. You always come out flat after a long roadtrip. And ours was very long, from Toronto ☃️through the Phenoix desert 🏜 all over the West Coast 🏖🏝 Plus Magic are a lot better than thier record suggests 🎩
2. And I qoute Scal again… rebounding even Is more important when your a 3 point shooting team. All of our losses this season we were beaten be rebounding and at times, significantly beaten like today by 15 rebounds.
So for me, our issue has become quite clear from this seasons sample size. We need a big impactful player who is strong on the glass. I've heard Poeltls name thrown around, I've also heard Crowders name thrown around. The funny thing is they are both now linked to the Warriors and Bucks.
My observation is that we are one mean big away from a championship. Someone who can rotate with and work alongside both Al and Timelord. Think it's pretty clear now that it's rebounding we need to address
I think I've seen enough of Luke now to notice that yes he is better than Theis offensively, but not as good defensively which is saying something considering Theis basically became obsolete for us when it mattered. I think Crowders making more and more sense as the weeks roll along. His that guy who could be the missing piece and give us more intensity, strength and defense. Classic 3 and D guy. With Chris Paul at the end of his career, surely Phenoix would be interested in Pritchard more than anything Milwaukee has to offer
Brad Stevens is not a rebound guy 😉
They came out just expecting to win and ride the wave of Rob coming back. Orlando saw this and just outplayed and out hustled them. This was ugly and embarrassing especially at home. It’s the same recipe when they lose: poor shooting from three, sloppy play and lackluster defense. Not too concerned at this point in the season, but championship teams come out with the same effort night in and night out-they can’t just expect to win based on an opponent’s record. And now that they’ve had all this national attention, teams are learning how to beat them and aren’t afraid. I remember when that ‘08 team hit the floor, especially on the road. Teams were in awe of them and they had this swagger and confidence that was 100% real. This squad has a long way to go to get to that level but I still believe they can do special things if they buy into working hard every single night. Thanks John and let’s see how Sunday goes-I fully expect Tatum to go for 35-40. ☘️🙏🏻🔒
