I had a feeling there was a chance Rob Williams might play in Brooklyn, because he was set to travel with the team. That piqued my curiosity, because he could have just as easily stayed in Boston to continue rehabbing. – 1:13 PM

Here’s the spot in the podcast where I talk about how the C’s adjusted with Theis in Game 2 would signal whether Robert Williams was coming back sooner rather than later:

The Celtics have gotten so much shit throughout the last few years regarding their drafting. Now look where they are. Jayson/Jaylen killing. Grant Williams and Payton Pritchard stepping up HUGE as role players. Smart is DPOY. Rob Williams had a breakout season. – 9:52 PM
