So tipoff was a little after 3:30.....
At 3:58 I texted my friend with this thoughtful comment.....
"They have to get Grant Williams out of there....
He is killing us"
Jumped the gun on that one....
Grant Williams final line for the game
Career High 27 points...first time he has ever led the Celtics in scoring
7 made 3's...tying Steph Curry for most in a Game 7
18 3 point attempts....beating his previous high of 8
Beyond all the scoring..his defense was big time again...
He made Giannis work for everything he got...
Picked 22nd overall back in 2019...
Out of Tennessee...( Rick Barnes)
2X SEC Player of the Year
First Season with the Celtics...25% from 3 point range
Second season...37%
This year 41%
Also this year...48% from the field and 91% from the FT line...
Another good pick by Danny Ainge....this team is full of them....
Tatum, Brown, Smart, Rob and Grant Williams, Pritchard
Only Horford, White and Theis are in the rotation and not drafted by the Celtics
Brad Stevens did a nice job bringing them in...and choosing Ime Udoka to be the head coach
Working out well, so far....
On to Miami
Celtics in 6.....
