How the Boston Celtics Used Robert Williams to Unlock Their Offense
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- The Boston Celtics used Robert Williams to employ an unorthodox offensive scheme that goes against traditional NBA thinking in regards to spacing. This scheme allowed the Celtics to establish themselves as the best offense in the entire NBA post-All Star break, and Robert Williams was a key player in their success.
Rob Williams continues to improve defensively, but his offense really doesn't get the attention that it deserves. He allows Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to work off-ball more effectively, and he alleviates the need for the Celtics to have a true "point guard".
Despite the suspension of Ime Udoka, the Celtics have the blueprint for offensive success.

yea timelord's passing is super underrated and i think hes got another level to get to there also, always lovin the content from ya 🙏🏾
Sad he doesnt get passed to a lot. He could average 20 ppg but he is the 4th option. Glad he's in Portland so he can prosper into an all NBA player
Honestly always delivering us great content, as soon as I get a notification from a new video of yours idc what im doing, im watching in that moment
I think Blake Griffin can do a lot of the stuff we saw Rob do in this video. Sneaky good pickup for the Celtics
Except Blake is a way better passer
yup
I feel like if the celtics went after hartenstein he could have operated in this offense well for them, as well as providing solid interior defense while williams is recovering from surgery
Time Lord = Best rim shot blocker... even when he's injured.
Bro the best rim protector in my career
9:01, tatum and rob literally synched up
Movement and quick and fast passing taking advantage of nobody defending in the paint is the way to go having big men shoot threes is stupid you're showing exactly what needs to be done teams like Milwaukee should be doing what Williams is doing with their big guy
The heat also do this really well with bam
Love your channel,you got a new subscriber!😀

TimeLord is the most underrated center in the league based on abilities and skill set. Thank you for posting this validation.
skillet made me want pancakes
@@bpdmf2798 "skill set" was what I typed but auto correct is a liar with a twisted sense of humor, 😂
@@bpdmf2798 I actually made pancakes after I read the comments, then realized the word "skillet" subliminally induced me
I see a lot of Joakim in Rob and I think he could potentially be even better
Great vid. Robs passing is so underrated
Imagine if Nets did 5 out with Ben
thats kind of their only way to properly utilize him offensively
@@mikeesteves8427 hard to do that when clax is on the floor
☘️🍀💪🏿
This player has many potencial, could be a all around player if the team know develop him
Great video man, that warriors comparison at the end was spot on. Do you think the Celtics didn't try this more in the finals because the warriors were effective at neutralising this approach?
It’s a combination of that and the fact that Boston seemed to deviate from this approach more in the Finals. Don’t really know why, it might’ve been due to Rob’s injury but they certainly didn’t use him offensively as much as they have in the past.
@@AlexHoops thanks for the reply 👍🏽
Lamelo is a better passer.
LaMelo is an all star point guard so I would hope so
The Kings look to me like a roster who could execute this well in the upcoming season
This is how you get Ben Simmons to be all nba again
So what I am getting here is Sengun MVP?
This is why I wanted Magic to trade Vuc for Hayward few years ago and play Isaac/Gordon as our 5.
This is elite hoops content
That’s facts honestly
am i first

Indubitably
I think you can add Steven Adams to that list, he was a crazy good passer last year for Memphis
All this just to lose to the Wolves in the finals
🤣🤣🤣
First round exit
Clicking off any video is worth it for this channel.
hi alex how's ur day man?
Splendid, how’s yours
@@AlexHoops pretty good js watching a great video abt Robert Williams from AlexHoops 🙂
why doesn't robs man just drop back if they know rob can't shoot ?
This is what I was thinking too, but maybe the Celtics counter this with giving Rob some screener action before they get into their spread look. I think that would create a quick 2 on 1 at the top for whichever ball handler they choose.
Hey Alex, how is this a 4 out variation and not a 5 open motion?
A 5-out motion offense requires spacing, and like I mentioned, Rob isn’t a floor spacer. There also are not predetermined actions in a 5-out motion offense. The Celtics operate with set plays. Rob will facilitate not only from up top, but also out of the high post, which is more in line with a 4-out 1-in offense. Even if he’s pulled up to the perimeter, you can imagine that the Celtics are treating it like like an extension of the high post.
@@AlexHoops Great explanation. Don't they also operate very much on offensive concepts (through predetermined actions). For example, a lot of times it seems that it's a 3 man game on top between two combo guards and the center as a screener and facilitator, and they can run multiple variations off that scheme. (Pelicans do it too). Also it seems different actions chosen by the big man (handoff in diff spots, or pass to diff spots, screening, etc) trigger a variety of different simple (fundamental basketball) actions by other players.
Which i would say resembles some of what the Warriors do (no wonder both coaches worked with Pop), which is a motion offense (or fake motion most of the time, with initial set plays as the base of their offense?).
I'm not sure about all i'm saying, i'm just trying to learn and absorb as much as i can, i'm 24 and it's my second year as a coach
