The Eastern Conference Semifinals were so long that it’s easy to forget that a big reason why the Boston Celtics came out and curb stomped the Toronto Raptors in Game 1 and (to a lesser degree) Game 2 was Robert Williams III (third of his name). He didn’t miss a single shot through the first two games of the series while playing really solid rotational defense and offering rim-running offense. It was sensational.
I mean, come on. This happened in the middle of a crucial playoff (road) game!
Williams’ impact waned slightly as the series progressed, but those first two games were a glimpse at what the Celtics need Timelord to be next season.
