Robert Williams untouchable?

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
Robert Williams III last night:
✅ 13 PTS
✅ 17 REB
✅ 3 STL
✅ +42 +/-
Williams III is +74 over his last two games. That’s the largest plus-minus over a two-game span for a @Boston Celtics player since the NBA began play-by-play tracking in 1996-97. pic.twitter.com/zhX1OcIkPQ9:51 AM

Celtics destroy Kings 128-75 for second straight win.
Jayson Tatum 36 points, 6 assists
Jaylen Brown: 30 points, 10 rebounds
Rob Williams: 13 points, career-high 17 rebounds – 9:36 PM

The NBA didn’t begin keeping track of blocked shots until 1973-74 season — four years after Bill Russell retired, thus depriving him of his rightful place in the record books.
Have to hope the league begins recording “scares” soon, so Rob Williams’ legacy is properly measured. – 8:36 PM

Rob Williams would not be denied that ball!! – 7:57 PM

If Robert Williams could transform into any animal, it’d be a wolf.
Thought you’d like to know – 7:52 PM

Great example of Robert Williams’ gravity on the roll in the opening play. Tatum set the back screen for the lob and 2 Kings went with him, leaving Tatum all alone for a 3-pointer – 7:43 PM

Robert Williams
Al Horford
Jayson Tatum

Richaun Holmes

De’Aaron Fox and Chimezie Metu are both OUT for Sacramento. – 7:04 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
It’s a box score anomaly and probably won’t last long, but Rob Williams is shooting under 50% at the moment. 1-for-3 so far. – 4:20 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Rob Williams and Horford splitting time at center for first 15 minutes, looks like Ime Udoka moving away from Enes Freedom in the rotation. – 4:12 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

Robert Williams
Al Horford
Jayson Tatum
Jaylen Brown
Marcus Smart
Wizards starters:
