Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Ime Udoka said that Rob Williams wasn’t dealing with anything physical. He said that the team was trying to manage Williams’ minutes, and him not coming back in was the result of Al Horford making big plays late in the game. – 11:06 AM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I love Marcus Smart. Always have, always will. And he’s a modern point guard, so stop with all the “Need a point guard stuff.”, especially when you don’t even know what that means in today’s game.
But 4-of-15 and 1-of-9 doesn’t cut it. Just a brutal game from him. – 11:59 PM

Justin Garcia @tmjgarcia
PJ Tucker laughing at Marcus Smart being the victim of flopping is all the vibes I need rn – 11:27 PM

Frank Madden @fmaddenNBA
Marcus Smart complaining about a guy drawing a charge by sliding under a player going up for a dunk is pretty rich. – 11:24 PM

Dalton Johnson @DaltonJ_Johnson
That 3 from Marcus Smart was hilarious – 11:10 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
I like to complain about Bam’s moving screens but Marcus Smart is running around putting people in sleeper holds. – 11:00 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Celtics finally back to taking advantage of Lowry as the low man with quick cuts to draw Bam up and one-time oop it to Rob Williams, who can grab it out of the sky where nobody else can go. – 10:27 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
I swear the Celtics continually try to throw lobs higher and higher to see if Robert Williams can come down with it. He somehow does every time. – 10:27 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Four fouls on PJ Tucker.
Marcus Smart gets one to fall and has a chance at a four-point play. Great pass by Al Horford. – 10:12 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Marcus Smart is clearly hurting, but Boston needs more from him. – 10:11 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Four fouls on Grant Williams.
Rob Williams back in. – 10:10 PM

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Grant Williams starts for Rob Williams as Rob returns to the bench a minute into the half from stretching/going to the bathroom/whatever they say next – 10:08 PM

Gary Washburn @GwashburnGlobe
Robert Williams has returned to the bench. #Celtics #Heat – 10:07 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Grant Williams is again starting the third quarter in place of Robert Williams. Same as Game 5. – 10:06 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Robert Williams is just an incredible rim protector. Jimmy Butler had Brown beaten. Williams comes over and changes the layup…. – 9:46 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Marcus Smart is telling all of the Celtics to calm down after that foul call against Derrick White.
Zach Zarba just warned both teams about complaining. But that was a very soft foul call against White. – 9:41 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Both Rob Williams and Jimmy Butler stayed in after the timeout. Both looked a little worse for wear before the timeout. – 9:09 PM

Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
Rob Williams just affected or blocked four shots on one possession, which 1) wow Rob 2) the Heat got four shots on one possession (and still have the ball). – 9:07 PM

Tas Melas @TasMelas
Not sure if Robert Williams is making it through all 4 quarters. He is strugg-a-ling physically. – 9:06 PM
